Step One
- Login to LogAlto at: https://ADRA.LogAlto.com
- If you aren’t sure you have a username use the forgot password link
- If you don’t have a username and aren’t sure who in your office (normally the Country Director) can add you then contact [email protected], and CC your Country Director
Step Two
You will by default be shown the Global Dashboard with an overview of the networks Projects; to view the Projects click on the projects (looks like a folder) menu on the left.
Note: you can swap between Grid and list views at the top right.
Step Three
You can Edit a project by clicking on the project; or add a project by clicking the + icon.
Step Four
You will see the project Information window where you can enter the projects details, ensure you enter all the required fields.
- Code
- Title
- Start Date
- End Date
- Status
- ADRA Office(s) – All ADRA offices involved with the project, this will be used to count all countries involved in COVID-19 responses. NOTE: You will only be able to edit the project if your Country is included in this field.
- Locations – Enter the location the project is being run in; this can be at the country level only.
- Partners – This is used in the dashboard to count all partners involved in the COVID-19 responses and recovery; we are particularly interested in Church Involvement.
- Sectors
- TAGS – COVID-19 or PIVOT-COVID-19
- Project Budget
- Project Budget Currency
- Donors – This helps us understand if the funding was within ADRA or external to ADRA. NOTE: Only add an ADRA office if they are using funds raised by themselves, if accessing funds from a government then do not add the ADRA office but the government office.
Step Five
Adding beneficiaries counts supported by your projects open the project (click the project from the project list (point 2 above) and select the LOGRAME menu at the top right. You can then select the Data Entry menu at the top right to enter the Primary and/or Secondary beneficiaries. Primary is considered people directly helped by your project, secondary would be people that benefit because of a primary beneficiary (it is not always easy or possibly to assess this and can be left empty).
NOTE: It is ideal to be able to desegregate the beneficiary counts, but if not possible then you can deselect the Automatically calculated field to enter a total value.
Step Six
Adding project costs can be done when adding or editing a project (as point 2 above) you can click the more > Project Budget menu option at the top right.
NOTE: You can add multiple per project, these will be summed and typically displayed as an annual figure. This is the field used to report on, the Project Budget is normally the total budget for the project which typically runs over multiple years.
You can then click the Add Project Expense, and fill in the details.
- Project – should be preselected, if not search for the project code
- Date – this is the general date for of reporting
- Amount – the value
- Currency – the currency that amount (above) was recorded in
- Fund Origin – this field highlights if the project funding was sourced within the country the project is being implemented (Local) or outside the implementation countries borders (External)
- Donation Type – Typically only Monetary funds are recorded, but in the case your project allows for In-Kind donations you have the option to specify that here.
NOTES
You can search and filter your list of projects by clicking the magnifying glass at the top right.
If you aren’t seeing the projects you expect, then check the scope (All ADRA Office(s) in the screen shot above) and also check that you haven’t set a Search/Filter which will be indicated with the message top centre.
You can customise which fields you see in the Project Grid view by hovering your mouse over the column headings until a down arrow appears, then select Columns and then select all fields you are interested in.
