There are five types of Progress Tracker

Type	Indicative (this means that it is designed to indicate progress towards an outcome and therefore must be associated with an outcome)	Back-end term
Activity Tracker	No	activity metric
Attendance Tracker	No	participation metric
Achievement Tracker	Yes	Binary indicator
Multiple Choice Tracker	Yes	Scale Indicator
Numerical Tracker	Yes	Value indicator

Activity Tracker	Use this to track the number of each type of activity or event you do. Examples: “Sessions Run”, “Events Held”, “Workshops Delivered”
Attendance Tracker	Use this to track people’s attendance at your activities and events Example: “Attendees”
Outcome	Use this to describe the difference that your work makes Example: “People increase their confidence”
Achievement Tracker	Use this to track an individual’s progress using a tickbox. This is useful when a subgoal is binary, i.e. it is either Yes or No Example: “Got a Job”, “Got an Increase in Benefits”, “Got a new home”
Multiple Choice Tracker	Use this to track an individual’s progress along a scale with a set of predefined levels. Example: “Level of confidence.” With levels: Low, Medium, High
Numerical Tracker	Use this to track an individual’s track progress using a number. Examples: (Number of) “Presentations given”, (Number of) “Ideas proposed”

Rules that govern where Changes, Outcomes and Indicators appear

Note: we use the terms Metric, Outcome, Indicator, Change and Progress Tracker. They each 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 “Progress Tracker”

We call the STAGE 1 changes an “Activity Tracker”

We call the STAGE 2 changes an “Attendance Tracker”

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

We call the indicators “Progress Trackers” - each type has a different name

Scale Indicator = Multiple Choice Tracker

Binary Indicator = Achievement Tracker

Value Indicator = Numerical Tracker

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

These are called “Outcomes” in the front-end as well as in the back-end
