The building blocks of a scorecard are containers, and a container can hold either a result or a program.
Note: Users with admin permission can change or add container types and measure types, as well as change icons and other properties of all scorecard objects.
A result is a condition of well being for children, adults, families, communities, or environment. Result examples could include:
- Youth are prepared for productive adulthood
- Children enter school ready to learn
- Residents have internet access
- Aquatic life is abundant and sustainable
In addition to the result itself, a result container also includes one or more indicators used to measure the result.
A program is an agency plan or service system put in place to help achieve the desired results. Examples of a program could include:
- YMCA Parent Education
- ABC After School Program
- Immigrant Achievement ESL Classes
- Healthy Lifestyles Initiative
In addition to the program itself, a program container also includes one or more performance measures used to measure the program.
A result or program container is typically created on the fly, while creating a scorecard. But you can also create a result or program from scratch.
Any existing result or program container in your instance can be added to any scorecard, then edited as needed for that scorecard.
