Test a Custom Indicator

Before applying the indicator to the reports, you can verify if the formula works as expected.

  1. Click Test to open the relevant indicator details.

In this example, we want to test if M1-3M+14D will display the data requested on the 15th of the 3rd month preceding the reporting date.

  2. Click Test.

In this example, if the reporting date is 2 February 2021, M1-3M+14D equals to 15 November 2020:

M1 - 3M + 14D

= 1 February 2021 - 3M + 14D

= 1 November 2020 + 14D

= 15 November 2020
