Create a Simple (Undimensioned) Multi-Metric (supported in v6.x and earlier)

This article describes how to create a simple Multi-Metric. Multi-Metrics provide the ability to quickly combine multiple existing Metrics into the same chart. Individual Metrics can be drawn against one or two axises and can be shown as a combination of Bars and Lines.

An Undimensioned Multi-Metric is one for which a single tile exists (that is, the Multi-Metric itself is not Dimensional).  An Undimensioned Multi-Metric can include BOTH Dimensioned and Undimensioned Metrics.
