Create an indicator

Creating an indicator

To create an indicator you need first to have a logframe.


Logframe design menu and options

The image below shows the main actions that can be done in the logframe design page:

  • Add a goal/first analytics level (from the top menu)
  • Add an outcome or output / 2nd or 3rd analytical levels (from the + button next to each item)
  • Add a "root" indicator  - an indicator that is not placed under any item (from the top menu)
  • Add an indicator under a goal, outcome, output (from the + button next to each item)

Add indicators under a goal, outome, output, etc.

If you wish to add the indicators directly in the corresponding level, click on the + icon next to where you wish to add the indicator and select the indicator option.


Add indicators at "root" level (not under another item)

You can add a "root" indicator by clicking on the   + Indicator button.

Indicators added with the add indicator button in the top right corner will be added as “Root” indicators, IE: not linked to any goal, outcome or output. 

You can always drag and drop root indicators to their corresponding level if needed.
