Technical Information

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 above, 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
