Metric Card¶
The Metric Card widget is used to display data on well-organized cards. Unlike the Indicator Card widget, the cards of the Metric Card widget can be configured separately, for example different units, different rules for formatting rules, and so on.
Each card displayed by the widget consists of two internal cards - name and value cards. The name card displays the name of the card, and the value card displays the value and the trend of the value, with the option to add a unit to the value.

The data fields required are:
