Linking an indicator to a data element
Last updated

Indicators can be linked to data elements associated with the tracked value that they represent.
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 for enabling metadata extensions.
From the desired indicator's page, select 'Open item editor' from its 'Actions' dropdown.
Select the 'Components' tab.
Navigate to the 'Numerator', 'Denominator' and 'Disaggregator' fields, and select 'Add' based on which of these terms is the most appropriate descriptor of the data element you wish to link the indicator to.
Select the desired data element, data set specification or data set using the relevant dropdowns.
Populate the 'Description' and 'Guide For Use' fields as desired.
Select 'Add'.
If you wish to link this indicator to more data elements, repeat steps 3-6. Then, when you are satisfied, select 'Save changes'.
The data elements you have linked, inclusive of selectable links, will now appear on the relevant identifier's page.
