This feature provides a powerful approach to analyze and synthesize data from different levels, whether from rings, letters, boards or rooms within your domain. ![QCD - consolidation - 1](https://cdn.document360.io/e61a3dcb-bae0-4a4f-820c-85b0f6ef7f3c/Images/Documentation/QCD%20-%20consolidation%20-%201.png) With consolidation, you can structure your data consistently and assign value to your recipient indicators from scattered information. This article aims to guide you through the essential steps of consolidation: - [Create a consolidated view](/product/docs/creating-a-consolidated-view): configure the source and recipient indicators to initiate the process. - [Trigger your consolidation](/product/docs/trigger-your-consolidated-view) - [Display results](/product/docs/displaying-results): interpret the consolidated data - [Understand consolidation limitations](/product/docs/consolidation-limitation): inderstand the lifecycle of the consolidation configuration. These steps enable you to effectively use the consolidation of your KPIs to structure and assign value to your indicators.
