Measured indicators – These indicators provide certain quantifiable metrics that measure the performance of your project in real time. Targets can then be set against this, giving you a visual depiction of how your project is performing.
To add a new Measured indicator, click on By indicator within a project. On this page, all existing indicators will be listed under the Measured Indicators sections. Within the Tools section on the right of the page, you have the option to Add a new Measured Indicator..
This will take you to the Add Measured Indicator page, where you can input the name of the indicator and select the relevant fields.
Indicator Type - Select one of the indicator types from the drop down menu to choose the kind of targets that you would like to track. A short description for each of the different indicator types can be found below:
•
Contact hours: This refers to the number of hours that an attendee spends in a session. For example: If a session lasts 2 hours and five people attend, that is 10 contact hours.
•
Number of accreditations gained: This refers the number of accreditations gained by participants on one or more activity, i.e. Level 1 FA Course.
•
Number of attendances: This refers to the number of times participants have attended sessions and can include filtered details such as age and ethnicity.
•
Number of attendances on headcount sessions: This refers to the number of times participants have attended headcount sessions.
•
Number of hours delivered: This refers to the number of hours an activity has been delivered for.
•
Number of referrals from body: This refers to the number of referred participants on your project from a particular external body.
•
Number of referrals from programme: This refers to the number of referrals from an internal programme, to another programme.
•
Number of referrals to body: This refers to how many participants from your project have been referred to an external body.
•
Number of referrals to programme: This refers to the number of referrals to your programme from an internal source.
•
Number of sessions delivered: This refers to the number of sessions that have been delivered on one or more activities within your project.
•
Number of teams: This refers to the number of teams created within your project.
•
Number of unique attendees: This refers to the number of individuals that are attending your activities. If the same person has attended 6 of your sessions, they will still only be counted as one unique attendee.
Below is an example of how you may want to set up an indicator that is measuring the number of unique attendees that have attended a specific activity.
Adding a Target
Once you have created an indicator, you will need to give it a target. This can either be done when creating the indicator, by clicking
SAVE AND ADD TARGET as shown on the screenshot above, or at a later date.
Note: A measured indicator will not show on any of your dashboards until you have given it a target.
To do this at a later date, go into your project and click on
By Indicator.
Here you will see all your Measured Indicators listed. You can then add targets to the
Measured Indicators.
You can always add more than one target to an indicator, e.g. you might have a target for this calendar year and then next.
Measured Indicators - Your Attendee Data Fields
For Indicator types that track information around participants, you have the option to add filters to define the criteria for an indicator.
As mentioned in the Adding Indicator section, you have the option to include any applicable fields from your registration form. These can be fields created by yourselves found under
Your Attendee Data Fields or fields linked to your
Facilitating Organisation.
Plan Tab
The Plan view is a great way to manage and visualise your Measured Indicators across different time periods, making it easy to identify targets and deliverables that have been achieved.
Creating Time Periods
Within your project, click on
Plan followed by
Time Period. Any Time periods previously created will appear on this page.
To create a new Time period click
ADD A TIME PERIOD.
Once you have defined your Time period, you can either click CREATE TIME PERIOD ONLY or CREATE TIME PERIOD WITH DELIVERABLES which will also add existing deliverables to your new Time period.
