Mapping Facts from a Source Indicator

This section will explain how you can map facts from a source indicator to other indicators, or to a field of a categorized indicator.

Use Cases

Mapping facts from a source indicator can come in handy when you want to,

• Take the output of a calculation and using it as part of another categorized indicator

• Disclose the facts as part of another indicator that cites to a different standards framework

Initiating the Mapping

In this example, we see a categorized indicator, "Total energy consumption by energy type", which is an indicator categorized into 4 components, Electricity, Heating, Cooling, and Steam.

"Total energy consumption by energy type", which is an indicator categorized into 4 components, Electricity, Heating, Cooling, and Steam

Our cooling component is required to be calculated before being used in this categorized indicator. To initiate the mapping of the calculated output,

1. Click on the cell that is to be the destination of the mapping. In this case, "Cooling".

2. Click on the Link icon button

The link icon button is right next to the tick button

1. In the subsequent modal, select the source indicator to map from and click 'Save'

   • If there are existing facts, there will be a confirmation popup. Click, 'Remove' to confirm.

Search and locate the source indicator to map from and select it

Any existing facts will be overwritten by the mapped indicator's facts

After the facts have been mapped, you will observe that the input field will no longer allow direct manual inputs and it will have a link icon to show which source indicator it is mapping from.

Successful mapping and resulting display of the mapped indicator

Unmapping Indicators

To unmap the indicator, simply click 'Unmap' in the tooltip of the mapped indicator.
