    The functionality to display individual units of measure for social metrics fields is currently in development.

    This is expected to be completed by Q1 next year

    As per above comment, Social metrics field names will need to be renamed in order to progress on extracting the values into their own field.

    This will be planned for a future release where the portion of the field name will be extracted into a new column for display separately to existing field name.

    The social metrics field names can include a standardised naming convention which would allow the inclusion of a unit of metric value in the field name.

    i.e.

    Current field name : Waste Volume

    New field name : Waste Volume [t]

    This would allow the field name to include the unit of metric, and as a future change we can create a field that extracts the portion of the field name relating to unit of measure into it's own field.
