Hi Gita,
on the indicator creation: make sure to create first the indicator source with the proper frequency and then create the indicator. When creating a new indicator, the Frequency field acts like a filter: set the frequency of the indicator and you can only select indicator source with the same frequency. (Leave the indicator frequency empty, and you could select any indicator source.)
Once an indicator source is selected, the Frequency field on the indicator form is no longer visible.
I've tested this on Helsinki patch 3.
On the time series: the 'Fiscal Year to Date' will show in a time series all data points collected for that fiscal year:
(in this example my fiscal year starts at Jan 1, and the indicator has a monthly frequency)
The 'Fiscal Year Sum+' will only show one data point for the whole year because it sums all collected scores:
(So the overall score is the same for both time series: 345 for this running year. As you can see, a yearly score is displayed as a Jan 1 score.)
When there are scores for previous years, they show in the chart as well and thus create a line chart showing the trend based on (calculated) yearly scores.
The 'Year to Date' would show a multi-year trend based on monthly scores and thus show a 'saw-tooth' chart, as at the beginning of the year the score is 'reset'.
I hope this helps.
Cheers, Pieter
