Logframe Hierarchy

DonorDesk uses four levels: Goal → Outcome → Output → Activity.

Goal
└── Outcome
    └── Output
        └── Activity

Rules

• Each item has one parent (except top-level items).
• Every item has a unique code within the project.
• A goal can have several outcomes, an outcome several outputs, and so on.
• Indicators attach to any level, usually outcomes and outputs.

Working with the tree

• Drag an item to reorder it, or drop it on another to change its parent.
• Use Move to (including top level) if you prefer menus or a keyboard.
• The order you set is kept and used in the indicator table and reports.

Importing

The Excel template's Logframe sheet has one row per item with a code, level, title and parent code. Existing codes are skipped, so re-importing is safe. See How to build a logframe.
