Hi Mike,

the indicators have parameters (startDate, endDate, location). Probably 
they aren't displayed on the Indicators Over Time page because I am not 
saving them independently of the ReportDefinition.

Using your wording the different ways I was talking about:
1) "saving a ReportDefinition using ReportDefinitionService"
2) "saving independently of the ReportDefinition"

If I understand right, if you save an indicator independently of the 
ReportDefinition you will have the serialized indicator definition twice 
in the database.
For example (column serialized_data):
<indicator id="327">
<parameterizable 
class="org.openmrs.module.reporting.indicator.CohortIndicator" id="328" 
retired="false">
<name>HIVPatientsOnIndinavirDrugIndicator</name>
<parameters reference="4"/>
<type>FRACTION</type>
<cohortDefinition id="329">
<parameterizable 
class="org.openmrs.module.reporting.cohort.definition.CompositionCohortDefinition"
 
id="330" retired="false">
<name>HIVPatientsOnIndinavirDrug</name>
<parameters reference="23"/>
<log class="org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLocationAwareLog" 
reference="26"/>
<searches id="331">
<entry>
<string>patientsInHIVProgram</string>
<org.openmrs.module.reporting.evaluation.parameter.Mapped reference="28"/>
</entry>
<entry>
<string>patientsOnIndinavirDrug</string>
<org.openmrs.module.reporting.evaluation.parameter.Mapped id="332">
<parameterizable 
class="org.openmrs.module.reporting.cohort.definition.SqlCohortDefinition" 
id="333" retired="false">
<name>patientsOnIndinavirDrug</name>
<parameters id="334"/>
<query>select distinct o.patient_id from orders o,concept c where 
o.concept_id=c.concept_id and 
c.uuid=&apos;3cd3ef46-26fe-102b-80cb-0017a47871b2&apos; and 
o.discontinued=0 and o.voided=0</query>
</parameterizable>
<parameterMappings id="335"/>
</org.openmrs.module.reporting.evaluation.parameter.Mapped>
</entry>
</searches>
<compositionString>patientsInHIVProgram AND 
patientsOnIndinavirDrug</compositionString>
</parameterizable>
<parameterMappings reference="37"/>
</cohortDefinition>
<denominator reference="38"/>
</parameterizable>
<parameterMappings reference="39"/>
</indicator>

Do you recommend to save indicators always independently?
Is the report definition in the database updated if you modify an 
indicator in the UI which was saved independently?

Thanks,
Peter
