Resources are the data sources that supply time-series values for indicators. Each resource has a name and a defined coverage period (startPeriod and endPeriod). A single resource can be shared across multiple indicators, and one indicator can have multiple resources. Resources are managed per indicator. Navigate to the resource management page for a specific indicator by clicking its name in the Indicators management table, or go directly to /resources-management/:indicatorId.

​
The resources table

The table shows all resources currently linked to the indicator, with the following columns:
ColumnDescription
NameThe resource’s display name.
Start periodThe start of the data coverage period.
End periodThe end of the data coverage period.
TypeThe resource type (e.g., API, file).
StatusThe wrapper execution status (e.g., completed, error, no wrapper).
OptionsDetails and delete action buttons.

​
Adding a resource to an indicator

1

Open the resource wizard

Click Add Data (the AddDataDropdown action) on the resources page. This opens the ResourceWizard modal.
2

Create a new resource or select an existing one

To create a new resource, fill in the required fields:
FieldDescription
NameA descriptive name for the data source.
Start periodThe earliest date for which this resource provides data.
End periodThe latest date for which this resource provides data.
A new resource is created with POST /api/resources.
3

Link the resource to the indicator

After the resource is created (or if you are linking an existing resource), the wizard sends:
POST /api/indicators/:indicatorId/resources
Content-Type: application/json

{ "resource_id": "<resourceId>" }
This links the resource to the indicator. The resource will now appear in the indicator’s resources table.

​
Viewing resource details

Click Details in the Options column to open a detail modal for the resource. The modal shows:
  • Resource information: name, type, start and end period, resource ID, wrapper ID.
  • Wrapper status: current status, creation time, completion time, and any error messages.
  • Source configuration: source type, API URL, date field, value field, and auth type (if configured).
  • Metadata: domain and dimension context.
  • Advanced logs: expand the Advanced: View Wrapper Logs section to see the last 200 lines of wrapper execution output. Click Refresh Logs to reload.

​
Unlinking a resource

Click the delete (trash) icon in the Options column. The system:
  1. Deletes the resource with DELETE /api/resources/:resourceId.
  2. Removes the link from the indicator with DELETE /api/indicators/:indicatorId/resources/:resourceId.
The current implementation deletes the resource itself in addition to unlinking it. If you want to remove a resource from only one indicator while keeping it linked to others, use the API directly:
DELETE /api/indicators/:indicatorId/resources/:resourceId
This unlinks the resource without deleting it.
