A “Project” is what users can write stories about. Makerble is designed around projects. At the moment a project is only created by a charity. A project can have Project_Reporters and Project_Editors who can write stories about the project and administer it respectively.

Projects_changes
What it is: A “Project Change” is a Change which is a planned impact for a project. This means that it has been added to the project as a Change which the project wants to achieve. There may or may not be a numerical goal assigned to the Change.
How they are added to a project: Project_Changes are added to a project on (1) the Manage Theory of Change page, (2) if they are within a Template which is applied to the project on the New Project Form or (3) directly from the New Project Form by selecting that specific Change from the dropdown list. If it is added on the Manage Theory of Change page it will still be visible on the New Project Form, and vice versa.
How it is used: Because it is a Project_Change, it means that this Change will now be pre-selected on the New Story form for that project. Also, on the Project Page and on the Impact Dashboard, the progress bar for the Project_Change will be displayed, even when zero Story_Change has been logged for it. Currently there is a bug preventing the zero progress bars from being displayed but it is being resolved by this issue: https://github.com/MakerbleDev/makerble/issues/833

Projects_changes_ratios
What it is: A Project_Change_Ratio is a Ratio Set that has been applied to an Indicator which has been applied to a Project.
How they are added to a project: On the project’s Edit Ratios page e.g. https://www.makerble.com/charities/aa-testing-impact-tracker-charity/projects/testing-teaching-children/edit_ratios . A summary of all the Project_Changes_Ratios and Project_Indicators_Ratios can be viewed on the charity’s Manage Ratios page e.g. https://www.makerble.com/charities/252/manage_ratios
This is the Edit Ratios page for a project

This is the Charity’s Manage Ratios page: the icon shows the icon for the Change or Indicator which is a Project_Change or Indicator_Change.

Projects_indicators
What it is: A “Project_Indicator” is an Indicator which is a planned impact of the project. It is an Indicator which the project wants to achieve. The project may or may not have a numerical goal for that Indicator.
How they are added to a project: Project_Indicators can only added to a project on (1) the Manage Theory of Change page or (2) if they are within a Template which is applied to the project on the New Project Form. Unlike Project_Changes they currently cannot be added to the project from the New Project Form.
How it is used: Because it is a Project_Change, it means that this Change will now be pre-selected on the New Story form for that project. Also, on the Project Page and on the Impact Dashboard, the progress bar for the Project_Change will be displayed, even when zero Story_Change has been logged for it. Currently there is a bug preventing the zero progress bars from being displayed but it is being resolved by this issue: https://github.com/MakerbleDev/makerble/issues/833
Projects_indicators_ratios
A Project_Indicator_Ratio is a Ratio Set that has been applied to an Indicator which has been applied to a Project.
Projects_makes
A “Project Make” is one budget item applied to one project
Projects_outcomes
These are the Outcomes that have been added to the project. Outcomes can be added to a project in several ways:
By adding a Template to the project which contains that Outcome
By adding the Outcome from the project’s Edit Theory of Change page
...
Projects_reporters
These are Project Reporters, people who have permission to write stories about the particular project that they are a Reporter of.
Projects_sub_causes
These are the Sub Causes which have been assigned to the project by the Project Editor when they were creating the project. The reason they do this is because they want their project to be seen by as many people as possible on www.makerble.com/explore. Eventually on Makerble we will enable people to search for and browse projects according to the Sub Causes that they have; and so for that reason it is in a project’s best interests to have as many relevant Sub Causes attached to it as possible.

Unsure - but is this when a voucher can only be redeemed to a particular project?
