Custom indicators, as their name indicates, are indicators created by the user. You can use these indicators to analyzed columns through a simple drag-and-drop operation from the DQ repository tree view to the columns listed in the editor.

The management options available for custom indicators include: create, export/import, edit, and duplicate.
