# How to add metric data

By adding your metric data into DoubleLoop, you can see stats on your strategy map and metrics graphs for your workstreams.

## Import data from your analytics tools

DoubleLoop allows you to import time series data from your analytics tools like Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres, and Looker. See our full list of [integrations](https://doubleloop.app/integrations).

To connect a metric to a data source, follow these steps:

1. Double-click a metric on your strategy map or click the "i" icon for a metric.
2. Click on the "Source" tab in the right drawer.
3. Follow the steps to connect the source.

Reach out to us if you have questions! This gif illustrates:

## CSV upload

Learn about it [here](/measure/upload-metrics-via-a-csv-file.md).

## Add random dummy data!

Before you connect your metrics in DoubleLoop to data sources, you can populate your map with random dummy data so you can see and share what a data-integrated map will look like.

Here's a demo:

## Add data points manually

Sometimes it's easiest to enter data by hand. Here's how to do it:

1. Click on a metric in the strategy map or from the metric page.
2. Click "Create data point."
3. Enter the value and date.
4. Click "Save."

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.doubleloop.app/measure/how-to-add-metric-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
