Printing in version 1.0 and 1.1

The print and print preview interface has been changed since Logframer 1.2. On the following pages, you can find information about how to print in the first two versions of Logframer (1.0 and 1.1)

 

Print and Print preview buttons

Using the Print and Print preview buttons in the General toolbar, you can print or preview:

To print one of these reports, simply click into the related area. For instance, if you want to print your logical framework, you click on one of the cells, and then on the Print or Print preview button.

For the other reports, you must make sure that the Details section is visible by clicking on the Details button button in the Lay-out toolbar. Then click in the Detail window in the bottom of your screen and finally on the Print or Print preview button.

Alternatively, you can use the Main menu, by clicking on FilePrint… or FilePrint preview…

 

 

Page set-up

You can select the paper size, change the orientation of the paper and adapt the printing margins with the Page set-up dialog.

To open this dialog, select FileLay-out Page lay-out…

Page set-up dialog box

 

Printing your logframe

To print your logical framework, simply click on one of its cells, and then on the Print or Print preview button.

Logframer automatically rearranges the width of your columns, so that your logframe will fit the width of your paper. You do not have to worry whether everything will fit on your paper, or make manual adjustments. Secondly, Logframer will also hide the empty cells, to make maximum use of the available space.

Instead of printing your whole logframe, you can choose to print only the first column, or only the objectives and the assumptions, or the objectives, indicators and verification sources, and so on. To do so:

  • In the design window, hide the columns you want to hide using the Column lay-out buttons Show/hide column buttons.
  • Then press the Print or Print preview button

Printing the list of partners

The list of partners is a table with basic information about each partner, including its name, its role in the project and contact information (addresses and contact persons).

To print directly, click on FilePrint...Print list of partners in the Menu bar, or FilePrint preview...Print preview of list of partners to get a preview first. Logframer will show you the following dialog box:


Print partners dialog box

You can choose to print information about all your partners, or just info about a single partner. When you've made your choice, click < Ok > to continue.

Printing the target group identification form

The target group identification form is a form that can be used in the field to identify beneficiaries. This form allows you to identify the beneficiary by his/her name, address and other contact information. You can also add any other relevant information using custom fields. To add custom fields, see the chapter about Identification of your target group.

To print directly, click on FilePrint...Print target group ID form in the Menu bar, or FilePrint preview...Print preview of target group ID form to get a preview first. Logframer will show you the following dialog box:

Target group identification form dialog box

You can select the purpose (if you have more than one purpose) and the target groups of that purpose (if you have more than one target group). Alternatively, you can print identification forms for all target groups of all purposes.

Printing the list of indicators

The list of indicators prints your indicators in the form of a list or a questionnaire. To print this list, click on FilePrint...Print indicators or FilePrint preview...Print preview of indicators. You will then get the following window, where you can select a number of options:

Indicators printing options dialog box

First of all, you can select which indicators you want to include in your list or questionnaire:

Printing options - select which indicators to print

Generally you'll want to use the output indicators to monitor the results of your project. Then, if you've got more than one target group in your project, you can select from which target group you want to print the indicators. This means that you can create a questionnaire specifically for one target group, instead of having all the different indicators mixed up in your form.

Printing options - select target group

Underneath you can see a series of check boxes. These allow you to specify what information you want to include. The first two options allow you to choose whether you want to show the purpose(s) and outputs to which the indicators belong. This is handy if you want to have a clear overview, but if you want to use the list as a questionnaire, you may want to uncheck these options. Otherwise the respondents will know why you ask a certain question and that may influence their answer.

If you want to have a detailed overview of your indicators, including for each indicator the possible answers (responses), value ranges and targets, you should check the last three options. But again, if you want to create a questionnaire that you'll hand out to the respondents, then you may want to uncheck these options. Otherwise they'll see what the 'right' answers are. For an interviewer, it is important to know what the value ranges are, but again you may want to hide the targets so that he or she can't accidentally give away the right answer.

Once you've selected the options that you want, you can press the < Ok > button.

Printing the Performance Measurement Framework (PMF)

The Performance Measurement Framework is a table that presents an overview about:

  • The expected goals, purposes or outputs
  • How you will follow-up progress (indicators)
  • Baseline information and targets at the end of the project
  • What data sources (verification sources) you will use
  • How you will collect data
  • At what frequency
  • Who's responsible for the data collection.

In the Menu bar, click on FilePrint...Print Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) or FilePrint preview...Print preview of Performance Measurement Framework (PMF). Logframer will show you the following window:

PMF printing options

Here you have the option of creating a PMF with:

  • The goals and their indicators, verifications sources, etc.
  • The purpose(s) and its (their) indicators etc.
  • The outputs and their indicators etc.
  • All objectives and their indicators, verifications sources, baselines, data collection methods etc.

Click < Ok > to continue.

  • Finally, you can choose whether you want to show the links (arrows) between the activities and key moments. If you uncheck the box the links won't show.
Printing options - select output Printing options - show key moments and/or activities
