The logical framework allows you to design the structure of your project, containing the following logframe items:
Logframe items are linked to each other in two ways:
When you move items around, Logframer will make sure the vertical and horizontal logic remains intact. This means for instance that when you drag output 2 before output 1, that in the bottom section the activities of output 2 will also be placed before the activities of output 1.
When you move an indicator that has several verification sources and you only select the indicator itself, the verification sources will remain in place and you will see a place-holder text.
To add an item, simply click in an empty box and start to type. At the bottom of each section in each column you will always find an empty text box. If these empty boxes are not visible, select the Lay-out toolbar and click on the Show empty cells button in the View section.
You can edit the text like you would in any word processor using the Text toolbar. You can change the typeface or size, make text bold, underlined, etc. and align the text to the left, right or centre.
If you want to change the appearance of all text in the logframe, or all the text in the Indicators column for instance, use the text selection options to select multiple cells and then modify the text to your liking.
You can move a single item or a group of items from one section to the other or from one column to the other, or simply change the order that the items are displayed.
To select a single item, click on it with the left mouse button. To select more than one item, press the left mouse button and drag. The red selection rectangle will expand to include other cells, but you can only select cells within a single section.
To move items, press the right mouse button within your selection (red selection rectangle) and drag it to the place where you want to insert the items. A green indicator line will appear and show the current location. When you come close to the top or bottom border of the logframe, it will scroll up or down. Release the right mouse button to insert the items you selected.
Another way to move items is to use the Move Up and Move Down buttons in the Items toolbar. You can also move the item one section up or down (for instance from the activities to the outputs section).
You can cut, copy and paste items in three different ways. First select the items you want to cut or copy (see ‘Moving items around’).
