Outcomes frameworks and indicators - Product News

Screens use Backed's default words. If your organisation has renamed any of them under Settings > Organisation > Terminology, you see your own words instead.

Outcomes frameworks

Settings > Outcomes frameworks is new. Build a framework of domains, the outcomes under each and the indicators under each outcome, each with a unit (Number, Currency, Percentage or People) and a direction. Select Activate when it is ready. Editing an active framework creates its next version as a draft, so nothing already collected changes, and every figure says which version it belongs to.

Attach a framework to a Grant in the new Framework panel on the Grant's Details page, with a baseline and target for the whole Grant. See Outcomes frameworks.

Bind to indicator

On a Milestone template, the Bind to indicator panel ties a Number or Currency deliverable to an indicator. The grantee sees the unit, their baseline and their target beside the field, and approving the Milestone records what they achieved.

Outcomes tabs and the annual export

Applications, Grants and Programs have an Outcomes tab: each indicator's baseline, target and actuals, summed across grants, grouped by Funding Category and laid out by your financial year. Export annual outcomes downloads one financial year as a CSV or a PDF for a Grant, a Program or every Grant. The same figures are the Indicators data source in Data reports. See Outcomes.
