This is the reference page for the XML element indicator.

Definition

The indicator(s) that meet the results. There can be multiple indicators for each result.

Rules

This element must occur at least once (within each parent element).

Attributes

@measure

An IATI code defining the unit of measure in which the value is reported.

This attribute is required.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

This value must be on the IndicatorMeasure codelist.

@ascending

A boolean describing the behaviour of the indicator. It is “true” if the indicator improves from small to large (e.g. clinics built); false if it improves from large to small (e.g. cases of a disease).

This value must be of type xsd:boolean.

Example Usage

Example usage of indicator in a result of an iati-activity.

This element is a parent for other child elements. It is also contained within a result element.

The @measure attribute declares a valid code (1) from the IndicatorMeasure codelist.

The @ascending boolean of 1 also declares that the data is asscending.
