Tick-box sub goals (Binary Indicator) are used to track one-off achievements
For example, a common Tick-box sub goals (Binary Indicators) is:
Found a new job
Tick box sub goals (Binary Indicators) cannot be added to a project unless they are part of an Outcome Goal
To create a new Tick-box sub goal (Binary Indicator)
Go to the Create Goal page
Click Create in the top menu
Select Show More Options
Select Goal in the expanded menu that appears to the side
This takes you to the Create Goal page and the first tab is the Activity Goals tab
Select the 4th tab: Tick box sub goal
Enter the name of the Activity Goal in the first field, e.g. “Found a new job”
Optionally open the Advanced section to
add a Cover Image → this is the photo that appears if the Goal is shown on the Explore Goals page
Hide from other Organisations → tick this box if you do not want your Goal to be available to other organisations to add to their own projects. The advantage of sharing Goals between organisations is that it enables benchmarking to happen.
Rewrite as a survey question → if you add a sub goal to a survey, you can express it differently. For example, for the sub goal of “Found a new job”, when it appears in a survey you might want to phrase it as “Have you found a new job?”
Add custom icon → Makerble will automatically assign an icon to your goal unless you upload an icon. This should be a small file and should be a graphic icon rather than a photograph. There are several places where a Goal’s icon is displayed:
Progress box on the My Home page
Owner → choose whether the Goal will be owned by you or your organisation. This determines who has permission to edit the Goal, i.e. change its
Name
Custom icon
Cover image
Hidden status from other organisations
Editorial Control → choose whether you want other people to be able to edit the Goal
Department → choose the purpose(s) that the Goal is for, i.e.
Public Impact (a Goal that has a positive impact on society)
Professional (a Goal that relates to work)
Personal (a Goal that relates to an aspect of life)
Pressing the Save button will create the Goal and redirect you to your Personal Goals Library
Pressing the Save and Add Another button will create the Goal and redirect you to a blank version of the Create Goal page on the Activity tab
