## Documentation content

On a deployment's Settings > Data exploration tab, prediction row storage is enabled, activating the [Data exploration](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/sdk/data-exploration.html.md) tab. Here, you can export a deployment's stored training data, prediction data, and actuals to compute and monitor custom business or performance metrics on the [Custom metrics](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/sdk/custom-metrics.html.md) tab or outside DataRobot.

On a deployment's Data Exploration Settings page, configure the Prediction Data Collection setting:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Enable prediction row storage | Enables prediction data storage, a setting required to store and export a deployment's prediction data for use in custom metrics. This setting is enabled by default. |

## Next steps

After enabling prediction row storage, export data for analysis or use it to build custom metrics.

- Data exploration : Export your deployment's stored training data, prediction data, and actuals for analysis.
- Custom metrics : Use the exported data to compute and monitor custom business or performance metrics.
- Set up custom metrics monitoring : Define "at risk" and "failing" thresholds for the custom metrics you create from this exported data.
