Re: Data integrity question

 

Hi Ed,

I think it is a "bug" in the documentation. The explanation as it stands is
unclear and seems to be misleading.

This integrity check simply looks (or should based on its description) for
data elements which are not part of any groups. This is not intrinsically a
problem, but can present issues if people want to filter data elements in
the pivot tables, it can be come confusing.

Please feel free to submit a pull request to the docs, or create a JIRA
ticket and we will try and fix it as soon as we can.

Regards
Jason
