Changes, Outcomes and Indicators
| Note |
|---|
Note: we sometimes use Metric / Goal / Sub Goal / Outcome / Indicator interchangeably. But they do have specific meanings as explained in the table below. |
Name in the back-end | Rules | Name in the front-end |
|---|---|---|
Change | In order for a CHANGE to appear on a Project Page, it must be in Stage 1 or Stage 2 If it is in Stage 1 it is called an Activity Change. (The back-end name for Stage 1 is Activity Outputs) If it’s in Stage 2 it’s called a Participation Change. (The back-end name for Stage 1 is Participation Outputs) | Now we are using the term “Goals” We call the STAGE 1 changes “Activity Goals” We call the STAGE 2 changes “Participation Goals (or sometimes Engagement Goals” |
Indicator | Must be of one of three types:
In order to appear in the Create Story page or to be added to a Project, the indicator must be part of an Outcome | Now we call the indicators “sub goals” because we call the Outcome an Outcome Goal |
Outcomes | Must be in Stage 3, Stage 4 or Stage 5. Stage 3 is called Short-term otucomes in the back-end Stage 4 is called Medium term Outcomes in the back-end Stage 5 is called Long-term Outcomes in the back-end | Now we call them “Outcome Goals” |
