What are Spider Plot outcome charts?

Spider Plot outcome charts enable you to see story_indicator_beneficiary data for all the indicators within one outcome. Each outcome will appear as its own Spider Plot chart; this is why it is called a Spider Plot outcome chart.

In the example below there are two Outcomes:

• “Animal Outcome” which contains three Scale Indicators called Elephant, Tiger and Horse

• “Country” which contains three Scale Indicators called India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan

In the image below, the Spider Plot displays a coloured line for each story about each beneficiary that has story_indicator_beneficiary data from the Scale Indicators within those Outcomes

1. Create Multiple Choice subgoals that use Shared Lists

2. Add several Multiple Choice subgoals that use Shared Lists to the same Outcome
