Create an Activity Tracker

You can create as many Activity Trackers (also known as Activity Outputs or Activity Metrics) as you need.

Activity Trackers are used to track the quantity of a particular activity that happens on your project

For example, common Activity Goals are:

  • Sessions Held

  • Workshops Run

  • Events Produced

Steps

  1. Click the Create button in the top menu

  2. Select Show More Options

  3. Select Tracker/Outcome in the expanded menu that appears to the side

    1. You arrive on the Create Tracker page and the first tab is the Activity Trackers tab

  4. Enter the name of the Activity Trackers in the first field, e.g. “Sessions Held”

  5. Optionally open the Advanced section to

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

    2. Assign to Projects → this is if you want to start using this Progress Tracker on one or more projects straight away

      1. Simply type in the name of each project where you want to track progress towards this goal

      2. Makerble will identify projects you have Editorial Control over and allow you to add the goal to those projects

    3. Hide from other Organisations → tick this box if you do not want your Progress Tracker 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.

    4. Add custom icon → Makerble will automatically assign an icon to your Progress Tracker 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 the icon is displayed:

      1. Progress box on the My Home page

      2. Card on a Progress Board

    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 Goal, 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 Goal

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

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

      2. Professional (a Goal that relates to work)

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

  6. Pressing the Save button will create the Goal and redirect you to your Personal Goals Library

  7. Pressing the Save and Add Another button will create the Goal and redirect you to a blank version of the Create Progress Tracker page on the Activity tab
