You can create several Multiple Choice Trackers and then

When you add an outcome to a project or strategy template, it adds the Multiple Choice Trackers within that outcome to that project or strategy as well.

The Create & Edit Page

  • This is the page you arrive on whenever you create or edit a Multiple Choice Tracker.

 

How to create a Multiple Choice Tracker

  1. Select Create in the top menu

  2. Select Show More Options

  3. Select Outcomes/Trackers

  4. Or, choose Metrics under My Apps

  5. You arrive on the Create Tracker page in the Activity Tracker tab

  6. Select the 5th tab: Multiple Choice Tracker

  7. Enter the name of the Multiple Choice Tracker in the first field, e.g. “To what extent do you agree with the following statement: I find it easy to get up in the mornings?”

  8. Set of choices: there are two options to choose from:

    1. Create a completely new set of choices: this is the default option which allows you to create Answer Choices

    2. Start with an existing set of choices: if you select this option, you will be prompted to select an existing set of Answer Choices rather than creating your own new ones. For guidance on using this option, select Multiple Choice Trackers that use Shared Lists (Answer Choices)

  9. In the first column called Level enter the Answer Choice for that question, e.g.

    1. Strongly Disagree

    2. Disagree

    3. No Opinion

    4. Agree

    5. Strongly Agree

  10. Press the pink Add Another Level button to add more Answer Choices to the question

  11. Description column: you can leave this blank unless you want to display a definition for what each level refers to

  12. In the Outcome field, you can choose which outcome(s) you want to associate this tracker with

  13. Optionally open the Advanced section to

    1. Add a Cover Image → this is the photo that appears if the Tracker is shown on the Explore Goals page

    2. 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.

    3. 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?”

    4. 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:

      1. Progress box on the My Home page

      2. Goal Card on a Progress Board

      3. Watch the walkthrough on adding a Custom Icon https://www.loom.com/share/53cd1809401b48f2be4c74aca144db08

    5. 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

      1. Name

      2. Custom icon

      3. Cover image

      4. Hidden status from other organisations

    6. Editorial Control → choose whether you want other people to be able to edit the Tracker

    7. Department → choose the purpose(s) that the Tracker is for, i.e.

      1. Public Impact (a Tracker that has a positive impact on society)

      2. Professional (a Tracker that relates to work)

      3. Personal (a Tracker that relates to an aspect of life)

  14. Pressing the Save button will create the Tracker and redirect you to your Personal Goals Library

  15. 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
