    Data aggregation for entities in Japan

    If an ESG reporting disclosure manager wants to understand the total emissions for an entire year for a particular location in Japan and if the location has sub-locations, you can make this process easier by using related fields. To add related fields, select the field that you want to set a dependency with. For instance, select the City field and add the Country field as a related field. Now, when you select Japan as the location's country, the options for the city field will be limited to only cities located in Japan. This setup helps ensure that the data aggregation for Scope 1 emissions is focused on Japan and its specified sub-locations, such as Tokyo and Kyoto.
