What indicates an indicator is configured to ignore certain data?

An indicator configured to ignore certain data typically does so through constraints that filter what data should be included or excluded in its calculation. When "Element Security" constraints are applied, they establish permissions regarding which data elements the indicator can access. This means that if certain data elements are not permitted due to security settings, the indicator effectively ignores that data when processing.

When evaluating the nature of filters and constraints within platform analytics, it is important to recognize that security settings inherently restrict visibility to certain data, thereby impacting the overall result of the indicator. This ensures that sensitive or irrelevant information does not skew the findings or insights derived from the analytics.

On the other hand, the other options refer to different states or configurations that do not directly represent the concept of "ignoring" data. For example, setting an indicator's status to inactive means it won't be active within the analysis but doesn't specifically filter out certain data. Similarly, unchecking the "Follow Interactive Filter" only affects whether an indicator adheres to dynamic filters during a session, and grouping an indicator with an incompatible breakdown also doesn't inherently imply data is ignored; rather, it suggests a misconfiguration that might prevent proper aggregation.
