Yes, that is the point. Each orgunit should have a population for a
specified time period (for instance, yearly population values).  So,
the indicator formula would look something like this

Numerator = Whatever data element
Denominator = Population


If you enter at level 3, you will not be able to get level 4
indicators, but values will be able to be aggregated up the hierarchy.
