# How to create an indicator based on a ratio?

You want to create your first indicator based on a ****ratio****. This article is for you! 👇

In the editing part of your dashboard, go to the Indicators area and click on the "Create an indicator" button.

You have the possibility to create 7 different types of indicators.

Once you have chosen the type of indicator, the interface for creating your indicator will change to adapt to your needs... /!\ Once your indicator has been saved, you will not be able to modify this step.

# Create an indicator based on a ratio

This option allows you to create your indicator by building a ratio with a numerator and denominator based on existing indicators.

## Basic settings

* Indicator name (e.g. Target coverage)
* Description __(optional field)__

## Computation

From the first drop-down list, select the indicator that will be your numerator. In the second drop-down list, select the indicator that will be your denominator.

A good performance is by default defined as "higher is better". If this is not the case (which is rarely the case), check the "lower is better" option.

## Periodicity

By default, the indicator is considered as not periodical. If you wish to customize the periodicity of your indicator, choose the option "Indicator is periodical: follow indicator over regular time intervals (ex: month by month)".

## Display mode

Then select the display mode of your indicator from the proposed models (Absolute or Absolute - Bar chart).

⭐ Little tip: Think about "Display a call-to-action" to redirect users to a page where they can improve on this indicator… In this case, be sure to fill in the label and URL of your call-to-action!

Finally, click on "****Create****" and voilà... You have just created an indicator based on a ratio!
