Is Aggregate Indicator¶
Overview
An aggregated data element is a data element that has been created by aggregating multiple single data elements. For instance, if Monthly Payment is a data element that is sent to the platform by the Client’s Accounts Receivable system, then the sum of all payments received in a month is an aggregated data element.
This is created using the Data Element Registry option in Data Vault.
