Sub-Indicator groups (columns)

Reordering subindicators

It might be that you want to change the order in which the sub-indicators are shown. For example, you may want to swap Agree and Disagree in the chart below

In the Admin Suite, find SubindicatorsGroups

Find the relevant indicator:

Then drag the subindicators into the desired order:

The order should now be changed on the front-end. In order to see it you will need to hard-refresh your browser - ctrl + shift + R (this will be fixed soon).

Non-aggregatable columns

Values are summed over all dimensions other than the indicator variable by default. That means an indicator on the column "financial year" from a dataset with columns "financial year" and "income source" will disaggregate by financial year, and show the sum of the different income sources, unless the user adds a filter on income source.

It sometimes doesn't make sense to sum values over a dimension. For example

  • If you don't know how many years are in a dataset, the total across years doesn't mean anything

  • If your data contains overlapping categories to support differing standards, e.g. ages 15-24 and 15-35, summing over these would lead to double-counting.

You can mark a column as non-aggregatable by un-checking the Can aggregate check-box. It is checked by default as most columns are fine to aggregate over.

"Can aggregate" unchecked.

This will mean that indicators from this dataset will automatically have a filter for this subindicator group, unless this group is used as the indicator variable (in which case it is already disaggregated).

Unlike user-added filters, filters added to disaggregate non-aggregatable columns can not be removed.

A filter for non-aggregatable "age goup" and user-added gender filter

You can specify which value should be the default to be matched in the filter in indicator configarrow-up-right. E.g. to ensure that the latest financial year is the default value filtered against. Users can still choose other options if they wish.
