For hinding Metric column only in Web: (assuming that English language was the Locale.)
  1. On the Web Server machine, go to the default location of <>\Web ASPx\WEB-INF\classes\resources and open up the file called MessagesBundle_en_US.properties.
  2. Go to the line 'mstrWeb.1158'. For English language, 'Metrics' is the value.
  3. Delete the word 'Metrics' and leave one single space.
  4. Save the close the file.
  5. Restart Web server.
