Use Wave Filter to Track Distance Travelled Over Time
One of the most powerful features of the progress board is the ability to track how individuals are developing over time, both from their own perspective and from the perspective of others. This is where Waves come in.
Waves represent different points in time, such as Baseline, Midline, and Endline.
To see how responses have changed across Baseline, Midline, and Endline:
In the filter panel, scroll down to Waves.
Select the wave you want to analyse (e.g. “Baseline”).
