Hi , I want to ask several questions about metrics. 1. Without having experiment viewed table in database , I guess we can't create any metric right? I need to merge any table with user id in experiment viewed table? Can someone explain me how does the metric creation work? If this is the case then I need to also put experimentation key in where condition ? 2. How does event based actions work? Like if I want use metric such as total users who clicked a specific button , do I have to do it in database or I can utilize segment?

you can make metrics without an experiment viewed table
so the exposure event is queried with the assignment query. This returns a list of users and the variant they got assigned. The metrics are independent, but return users who did some event, or purchase revenue, etc - this is joined to the assignment query using that same user identifier
for 2. What do you want to do with that segment? Like you can AB test that event/action, but are you wanting to target to those users?
