Specifying the Aggregation Period and Method
Indicator values are not aggregated by default. You should explicitly state that the values need to be aggregated.
To aggregate values:
1. In the key indicator creation wizard, deselect the Do not aggregate Key Indicator Values check box.
Two additional fields appear in the wizard.
2. Specify the Aggregation period
*An aggregation period is the period over which the indicator values are aggregated to compute the current indicator value and status.
Yearly
Half-Yearly
Quarterly
Monthly
Half-Monthly
Weekly
3. Specify the Aggregation method
*An aggregation method is the mathematical operation carried out over the indicator aggregated values in order to compute the indicator current value and status.
Sum
Average
*Note that new aggregation periods and aggregation methods can be created by your functional administrator.
*Once the key indicator has been created, it is no longer possible to specify another aggregation period or method.
