In Logframer, you can copy or move text in the following ways:
You can cut, copy and paste text within a cell of the logframe, using these buttons in the Main toolbar.
You can select and cut, copy or paste text in the same way in the Details window.
This way, you can also move or copy text between Logframer and other applications such as Microsoft Word™. However, if you want to copy a lot of text from a logical framework that you’ve made in Excel to Logframer, you’re probably better off using the Import function.
Using the right mouse button, you can copy or move one or more cells within the logframe.
To move one or more cells:
To copy one or more cells:
When you’re moving or copying, you’re not just displacing some cells like you would in a spreadsheet. As we’ve explained earlier, the different items in the logical framework are linked to each other. Logframer will manage these relations for you when you copy or move.
For instance, when you copy/move an indicator to another location within the indicator column, Logframer will copy/move its verification sources with it. However, when you move or copy an indicator to another column, Logframer will only move/copy the text of the indicator to that new place. The verification sources will remain where they were, and instead of the old indicator text, you will see ‘{indicator}’ in that cell.
Note: the following feature is only available in version 1.1 of Logframer
When you create an indicator, you have the possibility to formulate a number of responses or sub-indicators in the Details window. Similarly, you can detail a resource with a number of items and their respective cost.
It is possible that at a later stage you would like to change the order in which these items are appearing. You can do so by using the right mouse button, just like you would in the logical framework. Just press the right mouse button on the item you would like to move, and drag it to the new location. A green indicator line will show you were the item will be inserted when you release the right mouse button.
If you want to copy a response from one indicator to another indicator, select the response in question by clicking on the row header:
Next in the Main menu bar, select Edit → Copy response item, or press <Ctrl><Shift><C>.
Then in your logframe, click on the other indicator. Select the detail window again by clicking on any of the responses. Then go back to the Menu bar and click on Edit → Paste response item, or press <Ctrl><Shift><V>. The response will be added to the end of the list of responses of that indicator.
Let's say you've defined an indicator with a complex structure. In the example below, we see a number of sub-indicators. The response structure is that of a multiple choice question, with five columns or classes.
This response structure may be interesting for another indicator, but you may not want to copy the sub-indicators and their targets. So instead of copying the whole indicator with all its responses, in this case you can copy the response structure (the five columns between the Label and Target columns) to another indicator.
Steps:
You can see that the response structure has been copied, but none of the actual responses.
Note that this action also changes the question type. If the question type of the second indicator was set to Open ended question before, it will change to multiple choice question after you paste.
