Overview of Results in Amp Impact

Results track the progress on Project Indicators. Often, organizations compare Results data to Target or Baseline data values by Project Indicator.

Depending on an organization's impact measurement processes, they can enter Results by Project Indicator for different timeframes (Reporting Periods) and locations (Geographic Areas).


Add Results Page Options: Visualforce Page vs. Lightning Web Component

As with Frameworks and Indicator pages, Amp Impact comes with two options for displaying and managing Indicator data: Visualforce and Lightning Web Component. Depending on which option your organization uses, you would need to navigate to different sections of this guide to ensure the steps outlined here corresponds with what you’ll see in your system. Check with your System Administrator if you’re unsure which option you are using.

Add Results for Project Indicators using the Lightning Web Component Lightning Web Component

Before you can add Results for your Project Indicators, there are a couple of Project setup-related tasks to complete:

  1. Set project-specific Reporting Periods

  2. Create Geographic Area records

  3. Set up Project Indicators

If any of these elements are missing, you’ll get a message saying: “The Project is not linked to at least one Project Indicator for a Reporting Period and Geographic Area.”

System Admin Note: Ensure that Disaggregated Project Indicator records have been created. If Disaggregated Project Indicator records are missing, you’ll get an error message saying “Something Went Wrong”.

Here is a screenshot of what you’ll see if the data setup is done correctly: When the Add Results table is loaded, the “Reporting Period” and “Geographic Area” dropdowns have default values selected. The Project Indicators corresponding to these selections are displayed on the Add Results table.

  1. Select a “Reporting Period” that you want to enter Result values for from the dropdown. Only Reporting Periods that are related to Project Indicators will be displayed in this list. The first Reporting Period is selected by default so remember to check and update the Reporting Period value if you’re adding Results for another period.

  2. Select a “Geographic Area” that you want to enter Target values for. Only Geographic Areas that are marked as “Active” will be available. Results can only be set for one location at a time. The first value in the list of Geographic Areas is selected by default so remember to check and update the Geographic Area value if you’re setting Results for another area.

  3. Select from “Baseline” or “Targets” in the “Compare With” dropdown. It allows you to compare Results with either Targets or Baseline values set for project Indicators. Read more about it here.

  4. The list of available Project Indicators that are related to the selected Reporting Periods and Geographic Areas will be displayed in the Add Results table. the indicator would be available for reporting on AddResults LWC irrespective of the Data Track field value.

  1. Each Project Indicator is hyperlinked to its record. Clicking on it will open the Project Indicator record in a new tab.

  2. Each Project Indicator also has an Information icon in the Project Indicator column. When you hover over the icon, a pop-over displays the additional information stored on the Project Indicator record. By default, Objectives, Guidelines, Disaggregation Groups, and Cross-Disaggregated by Sex are shown.

  3. There is a Search and Filter box at the top of the table that can be used to find specific Project Indicators to add Results for. Refer to this section if you want to make changes to this interface or filter functionality.

Compare Results Data with Target or Baseline Data Lightning Web Component

The “Compare With” dropdown allows you to compare Results against either Targets or Baseline values of Project Indicators. The “Compare With” dropdown will only be displayed on the Add Results Lightning Web Component if a Reporting Period for the Baseline is created.

By default, “Target” is selected in the “Compare With” dropdown. It will load the Add Results table with an additional Target column to the left of the Result column. Target and Result values can then be seen and compared side by side. 

Result Values can also be compared against Baseline values. To compare Results against Baseline Values, select the Baseline option in the “Compare With” dropdown and the additional Baseline column will be visible for easy comparison. Only Project Indicators associated with the selected Geographic Area, Reporting Period, and that has the “Has Baseline?” checkbox selected will be displayed on the table. 

Enter Result Values For Project Indicators Lightning Web Component

Once your Project Indicator and related Project data setup are done, you’ve set Targets, and Baseline values, you are ready to start entering Result data. Typically, there are two kinds of Project Indicators to add results for:


For both disaggregated and non-disaggregated Project Indicators, Result values need to be entered depending on the Data Type of the Indicator. This is defined on the Project Indicator level and summarized in the table below. These Result values are saved in the Result record.

Multiple Users Making Updates Simultaneously: Refresh the Add Results Component Lightning Web Component

Often, there are a number of users in the system, entering and managing data simultaneously. If another user makes and saves updates on a component or a related component (like the Framework or Project Indicators) while you’re working in the system, you’ll see a notification that alerts you that changes have been made. Click on the “Refresh” icon to load and reflect the latest data on the Add Results component along with all the Results that have been previously recorded.
