Understanding the structure of the logical framework

When you fill out the cells in Logframer, you have to understand that the different items are interlinked to each other (contrary to when you fill out a table in a word processor or a spreadsheet application). Logframer keeps track of these relationships, which brings about a number of benefits:

• Automatic numbering when you add cells, or when you move, cut or duplicate them.
• When you rearrange outputs, the activities linked to each output will move accordingly (vertical integrity).
• When you rearrange the purposes, the outputs and activities linked to each purpose will move accordingly (vertical integrity).
• When you move a goal, purpose, output or activity, its indicators, verification sources and assumptions will move too (horizontal integrity).
• When you move an indicator, its verification sources will move along (horizontal integrity).
• When you copy a purpose or an output, you can choose whether you want to copy all its dependencies (outputs or activities) too, or just the purpose/output itself.
