# Adding an indicator to an indicator set
Indicator sets can be created or added to by any user of a registry that has the appropriate metadata extension enabled.
### Prerequisites
For indicators to be viewed or created, their extension ('Comet Indicator Registry') must be enabled in the Aristotle Cloud Settings Editor. See the [relevant help documentation](/administrator-tasks/aristotle-cloud-settings-editor/adjusting-metadata-and-functionality-extensions.md) for enabling metadata extensions.
### How to create an indicator set
1. Select 'Create Metadata' from the dashboard side panel, or select the creation shortcut from the registry header followed by 'See all...'.
2. Navigate to the 'Performance Indicator Management Objects' category, then select 'Create' in the 'Indicator Set' field.
3. Populate the following tabs' fields as desired:
* 'Definition'
* 'Names & References'
* 'Components'
* 'Slots'.
**Note:** Only the 'Definition' tab's 'Name' and 'Definition' fields are mandatory.
4. **If you wish for the indicator set to contain indicators upon creation,** select the 'Components' tab, then 'Add'.
5. Select the desired indicator using the 'Indicator' dropdown, then populate the 'Name' field.
6. **If you wish to add more indicators,** repeat steps 4-5. When you are satsified, select 'Create item'.
7. The indicators added to the indicator set will now appear on the indicator set's page.
### How to add an indicator to a pre-existing indicator set

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.aristotlemetadata.com/creating-and-editing/indicators/adding-an-indicator-to-an-indicator-set.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
