Indicator Library
The indicator library is a premium feature: it is reserved for the LogAlto Configured and LogAlto+ plans.
If you are currently using the Free trial or LogAlto complete plan and wish to get access to Premium features, please contact us at info@logalto.com.
The Indicator Library feature in LogAlto is designed to streamline the management of indicators, making it easy to track and organize data across multiple projects.
1. Create categories (tags) for your library
The indicator library lets you to search for indicators by categories, or tags. In the administrative settings, you can define tag groups for these indicators.
2. Determine if any indicator fields are to be included in the library
In the administrative settings, under Indicator Fields , you can choose any system list field to be made available to the indicator library.
If you select Corporate field , when you add a library indicator to a project logframe, LogAlto will:
- Check if an indicator with the same field value exists in the project's affiliated global (or corporate) logframe.
- Convert the library indicator to a corporate indicator linked with the match
2. Create indicators for the library
To access the indicator library, click on the Configuration icon and select the Indicator Library option.
In order to add a new indicator, click on the + sign in the top right to write the name/label of the indicator.
You can then add information to existing fields:
- Data entry: Select whether the user enters progressive or cumulative values for the indicator.
- Select the unit of measurement for your indicator.
- Determine the frequency with which the indicator should be collected.
- Assign a category element to the categories created for your library.
You can also import indicators using an Excel template. Simply generate the Excel file and import it when finished.
3. Add indicators from the library to projects
You can add library indicators directly to your project's logical framework. To do this, first go to your project's logical framework and, in the Indicator option, select Library indicator.
You can search for the indicator categories you've created for the library.
Click on the + sign to add the indicator to your project. You can add more than one indicator at a time.
