Achievement Trackers (Binary Indicators) are used to track one-off achievements
For example, a common Achievement Tracker (Binary Indicator) is:
Found a new job
Achievement Trackers (Binary Indicators) cannot be added to a project unless they are part of an Outcome
To create a new Achievement Tracker (binary indicator)
Go to the Create Metric page. You can get there by
Clicking Create in the top menu
Then Select Show More Options
Then Select Tracker/Outcome in the expanded menu that appears to the side
You arrive on the Create metric page and the first tab is the Activity Tracker tab
Select the 4th tab: Achievement Tracker
Enter the name of the Achievement Tracker in the first field, e.g. “Found a new job”
In the outcome field: choose the outcome(s) you want to assign this indicative progress tracker to
Optionally open the Advanced section to
add a Cover Image → this is the photo that appears if the Tracker is shown on the Explore Goals page
Hide from other Organisations → tick this box if you do not want your Tracker to be available to other organisations to add to their own projects. The advantage of sharing Trackers 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 Tracker’s icon is displayed:
Progress box on the My Home page

Owner → choose whether the Tracker will be owned by you or your organisation. If you want other Organisation Admins to be able to edit the Progress Tracker, set the owner as your Organisation. This determines who has permission to edit the Tracker, 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 Tracker
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 Tracker 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
