In the Catalog Sandbox organization, go the Glossary tab of the Organization profile page and click the New button.
In the Add new resource window, you will notice the new type - Metric. Type a name for the terms and set the type as Metric.
In the Edit resource window, set the following:

Data Steward: Set the data steward for the term you are adding.
