- This metric can be disabled from "Project Configuration/Metrics/Lines and Statements" with the "Show line count metrics" option.
- This metric can be disabled from "Project Configuration/Metrics/Lines and Statements" with the "Include inactive lines" option for languages that have inactive lines.
- For projects and architectures, this metric is enabled from "Project Configuration/Metrics/Projects and Architectures" with the "Show default summary metrics" option.
