Registering additional information in the Details window
Once you’ve designed your basic logical framework in the main window, you can complete it with additional information using the Details window in the bottom half of your screen. If this window is not visible, you can press the button on the Lay-out toolbar.
The content of the Details window changes according to which cell you’ve selected in the main Logframe window:
- When you click on any of the goals in your logframe, you can complete general information about your project, such as its title, its starting date and end date (duration), information about your partners and other parties involved in your project (suppliers, donors, auditors…) and contact information.
- When you click on a purpose, you can identify the target group(s) and indicate the number of people (women, men) involved. You can also design the target group identification form here.
- For each output, you can identify key moments in the project, saying what should be achieved by when.
- For each activity, you can indicate when the activity starts, how long it will take, which other activity or event it will follow, how much time you will need to prepare, how long the follow-up period will be, how many times the activity will be repeated and who will be responsible for the execution.
- For each indicator, you can design how the indicator will be measured, using hard values, open ended questions, multiple-choice questions and so on. You can identify standard answers or limit the range of values that can be used.
- For each verification source, you can identify how the information will be measured, by whom and how regular.
- For each resource you have the choice between entering a global cost in the Budget column, or specifying multiple items in the Details window and calculate their total using their unit costs and if necessary the duration (for instance to calculate monthly wages).
- For each assumption, you can make a risk assessment and identify how you will respond should this risk materialise during the course of your project.
All this information is optional, you don’t have to fill out all these details if you don’t want to. However, if you want to print out additional reports, such as the project’s planning, the target group identification form, the Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) or the Risk Register, you will need to complete (at least a part of) this additional information.
