# Create a grouping for metric definitions

Create a group and a subgroup for similar metric definitions. Creating these groups facilitates easy reporting and tracking. You can set the values for the group and the subgroup through choices.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_esg.admin

## About this task

If you have many metric definitions that are similar, then you can create groups and or subgroups for those metric definitions. For example, Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 are all different types of emissions but they can be grouped together under one group titled Emissions and a subgroup titled Greenhouse gas emissions.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Operational Sustainability Management** > **Operational Sustainability Workspace** > **Lists** > **Administration** > **Choices**.

2.  Select **New**.

3.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Set|Area where you want to create the choice. This field is set to **ESG Metrics**. You can modify this field.|
    |Name|Name of the choice. For example, `Emissions`.|
    |Reporting classification|Tag under which the metric definition and metric is categorized. For example, **GRI**, **SASB**, or **Steering Committee Review**.|
    |Choice category|Classification of the choice. Example, groups, subgroups, labels.|
    |Order|Order of the metric definition within the sub-group. By default, the order can be given from 100, 200, and so on as they are added to the group and sub-group.|
    |Parent|Parent choice.|


## Result

The grouping is ready to be used in the metric definition form under the Classification section.
