Outcomes
Read an Application's, a Grant's or a Program's outcomes against their targets by financial year, and export them for your annual report.
Last updated
The Outcomes tabs show what your grants have achieved against the indicators of the outcomes
frameworks attached to their Grants. Every figure is an actual recorded when a Milestone bound to
an indicator was approved. To set frameworks up, see Outcomes frameworks.
Grant, Application, Milestone, Program and Funding Category are your organisation's own
terms if you've renamed them.
Before you start
- Attach an
Activeframework to the Grant and bind the Milestone templates' fields to its indicators. Until a bound Milestone is approved, the tabs show targets but no actuals. - Anyone who can open the Application, Grant or Program can read its
Outcomestab.
An Application's outcomes
Open the Application and select Outcomes. Each indicator shows its baseline, its target, the
actuals by period, the cumulative actual and the percentage of the target reached so far.
An actual's period runs from the due date of the previous bound Milestone (or the Contract's start) to the Milestone's own due date.
Set an Application's baseline and target
On the Application's Outcomes tab, select Edit targets to set the Application's own baseline
and target for each indicator, in place of the Grant's, then Save targets. You need to be able to
edit and publish the Grant. The framework must be attached to the Grant first.
A Grant's and a Program's outcomes
Open the Grant, or the Program, and select Outcomes. For each indicator you see:
- the approved actuals and the targets summed across the grants (a
Percentageindicator is averaged over the grants reporting instead, and says so) - how many grants are reporting
- the figures grouped by Funding Category
- one column per financial year, with the year you choose beside the earlier ones
A Program's tab covers every Grant in the groups assigned to it. When a framework has more than one
version, each version's figures are labelled with it. A Currency indicator shows one figure per
currency, and amounts in different currencies are never added together.
Financial years
Years follow the Financial year start in your organisation's settings, or the calendar year when
none is set. An actual belongs to the year its period ends in.
Export
Download CSVon a Grant'sOutcomestab downloads what the tab shows.Export annual outcomesdownloads one financial year's outcomes as a CSV or a PDF, for a Grant, a Program or every Grant, with the year before's actuals beside them. You need to be able to see every Grant the export covers. Each export is recorded in your organisation's audit log.
In Data reports
The same figures are the Indicators data source in Data reports, so you can build your own
tables and charts from them.

This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
