Linked Data

Link data collections to a pathway.

In Pathways, you can link a data collection from the Data Manager. This allows you to use data in a Data Activity or in Data Tracking.

How to link data in Pathways

To link data, you first need to create a Data Collection in Data Manager.

1. Open Pathways and go to Linked Data.

2. Select the + icon (bottom right).

3. Select a Data Collection that has been created in Data Manager. Use the dropdown menu to make a selection.

4. Indicate the data source type: primary or secondary.

5. Specify the User Identifier Type and the Corresponding Column. This ensures that a unique identifier can be matched to a corresponding column name in your data upload.

6. Specify the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) column. This allows you to track, visualise and match data in relation to goals, targets or dependencies. Data Targets can be set in a Data Activation Activity on a Pathway.
