Root Indicators

An indicator must be specified as the root indicator for a each artefact type. The root indicator is the top-level mark displayed next to an artefact in the artefact tree.

<RootIndicator 
    indicatorId="MAINTAINABILITY" 
    artefactTypes="APPLICATION;FILE;FUNCTION" />

indicatorId the unique identifier of the indicator chosen as root.
artefactTypes is the type of artefact for which this indicator is the root indicator. It is one or more of APPLICATION, SOURCE_CODE, FOLDER, FILE, CLASS, PROGRAM, FUNCTION, or any other type defined for your project. Note that the indicator must exist for all the types of artefacts specified.

Note

A root indicator must be based on a derived measure, not a base measure. If the measure you want to use as an indicator is a base, add a dummy derived measure as shown below.

Before:

<Measure id="ROOT" targetArtefactTypes="TYPE" defaultValue="0" />

After:

<Measure id="ROOT" targetArtefactTypes="TYPE" defaultValue="0">
<Computation targetArtefactTypes="SOME_OTHER_TYPE" result="B.ROOT" />
</Measure>
