What happens to an inherited results framework when you change the results framework on parent level?

  • What changes automatically?

    • Any changes to Result fields Title, Type and Aggregation status are copied to all child results. The Description field is copied if it is empty on the child.
    • Changes to Indicator fields Title, Description, Baseline year, Baseline value and Baseline comment are copied to the children if the field is empty on the child.
    • Changes to IndicatorPeriod fields Target value, Target comment and Actual comment are copied to the children if the field is empty on the child.
    • NOTE: this leads to the probably unintuitive effect that if e.g. the title of an existing indicator is changed on the parent, the change will not propagate to children that have imported the framework even if the title has not been changed after the import, meaning that it is the same as on the parent before the edit. In other words you can't change a misspelled indicator or indicator period field on the parent and have it propagate to the children.

  • When do you need to re-import the parent results framework?

    • When new results have been created on the parent project.

  • What are the consequences of re-importing: e.g. removing once again n/a indicators?: Actual values previously submitted? Do project specific indicators remain (i.e. they won’t vanish)?

    • When re-importing only results on the parent that don't exist on the child will be imported. Existing results and their child indicators etc will not be affected by the import. In other words you cannot affect existing indicators or their data by re-running the import.

  • Should you not change or remove indicators that you’ve already collected data for? If you do, what happens?

    • See previous answer.

  • Are your disaggregations inherited with the rest of the results framework?

    • Yes.

  • How does re-importing a results framework effect disaggregations?

    • When re-importing only "new" results are added to the child so if changes have been made to disaggregations for an existing result they will not propagate unless the result is deleted on the child.

  • When you inherit a parent/core results framework do you also inherit targets?

    • No.
