Calculating progress

For a particular reporting period a partner will report progress on an indicator for one or more locations. To capture the progress made on that indicator across all locations, we need a way to calculate it. This is referred to as "calculation method across locations".

Once multiple indicator reports have been accepted or sent back (#1040) for a particular indicator, then we can calculate cumulative progress on that indicator. This is referred to as "calculation method across reporting periods".

There are three methods of calculation that are supported in PRP for both the above:

1. Sum - progress is calculated by simply adding.

2. Max - the max total becomes the progress.

3. Avg - an average of all the totals is taken.

For one indicator report for one location, the progress is always calculated by simply summing the data reported.
