INTRODUCTION This document describes the Data Management console in the FHF-PRISM application developed for the Fred Hollows Foundation (FHF) to improve the disciplined and effective management of its global programs and projects. It provides the necessary instructions that the administrators and/or users granted with administrative rights should follow in order to ensure successful application data management. Use of this document and compliance with the standards specified herein is mandatory for anyone working with the mentioned application.

OVERVIEW The FHF-PRISM is an enterprise-level management information system that has been developed for the Fred Hollows Foundation (FNF) with the aim of addressing the cross-cutting challenges that the foundation currently faces and that impede the disciplined and effective management of its global programs and projects. The overall objective of the management information system is to centralize and streamline project data to enable efficiencies in collation, extraction, and manipulation of project information in a logical manner. Another objective that the system aims to achieve is supporting improved governance and accountability across programs through the administration of user roles and responsibilities defined by organisational hierarchies. Being a user-friendly, flexible, interoperable, and scalable solution, the FHF-PRISM increases visibility, transparency and accessibility of project information through the implementation of a web-based solution, contributing to improved collaboration and knowledge sharing between geographically dispersed personnel, such as field or other non-HQ based staff. Moreover, the system reduces manual processing of project information through integration with other core FHF systems and facilitates automation of some project processes, thereby, ensuring consistency of data across functions. Serving as a strategic enabler for the organisation’s goals for ambitious growth and greater impact in treating and preventing blindness and other vision problems, the FHF-PRISM facilitates complete project cycle management of FHF programs from performance monitoring and reporting to work planning and resource allocation tasks, as well as organisational decision making and reporting. With the FHF-PRISM, all stakeholders involved in the program and project implementation can easily obtain real-time information on its global projects and results and use insights derived from that information for decision making, learning, programming, and advocacy. Moreover, they can

overcome the challenges that poor visibility, transparency, and accessibility of timely project progress information can pose, thus, avoiding duplication of work, missed opportunities, and impact on collaboration. The FHF-PRISM incorporates business intelligence and data management solutions with comprehensive application administration functions. As such, it is equipped with a number of administrative tools, which aim at providing the application administrators with the possibility of performing their daily assignments in an easily manageable way. One of the administrative tools that the FHF-PRISM is incorporated with is the Data Management console. The Data Management console is a space within the FHF-PRISM application that allows organising the user-defined categories used in the application as well as their items. Through the Data Management console, the application administrator can manage the collection of categories present in FHF-PRISM. They can view the categories used in the application, add new items to existing categories, etc. The administrator can, also, define the currency rates that will be used to convert amounts from one currency and into another. Moreover, administrators and advanced users can take advantage of this tool to manage the indicators and composite indicators that will serve as metrics for assessing the project achievements. The FHF-PRISM provides a web-based user interface and requires the end user to have a web browser pre-installed.

DATA MANAGEMENT CONSOLE This chapter describes the Data Management console under the Settings section, where you can manage the user-defined categories and their items. This way, you may organise the categories present in the system, view their items, add new items to them, edit the existing items, etc. You can also update the currency rates that will be used during currency exchange. Moreover, you can manage the indicators and composite indicators that will be used to measure the project progress towards the goals set.

Accessing the Data Management Console For accessing the Data Management console, go to Settings Data Management (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Data Management Console

The Data Management console consists of the following sub-sections:

• Categories – to manage the user-defined categories existing in the system (see MANAGING CATEGORIES).

INTEGRATED CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM OF IRAQ | Personal Information | User Manual FHF-PRISM | Data Management | Administrator’s Guide

MANAGING CATEGORIES Categories are logical grouping of classified items sharing a common attribute. The Ethnicity, Gender, Location, and Funding Source are examples of categories. Categories usually represent Data Entry fields with pre-defined value sets (e.g. drop-down lists). In the analytical reports, categories are represented as the report rows. They can also be used to group rows, columns, and report tables. This chapter outlines how you can manage categories listed in the Data Management console of the FHF-PRISM application. More specifically, it describes how you can:

• Access the categories sub-section • Search for a category or category item • View existing category items • Create, edit and delete category items

Accessing the Categories Sub-section The Categories sub-section can be accessed at Settings Data Management Categories (Figure 1). Please, note that access to this sub-section is defined by the permissions your role has been granted with. To configure access permissions for this sub-section, see the FHF-PRISM Security Administrator’s Guide in REFERENCES. Once you access the Categories sub-section, you will be presented with the list of all categories recorded in the application (Figure 2).

MANAGING CURRENCY RATES Synergy Indicata M&E Engine based systems are capable of supporting and working with multiple currencies. For user’s convenience, all financial amounts may be entered in Local Currency, as well as any other currency that the funds may be recorded in the original project contract (Reporting Currency, Funding Currency, Transaction Currency, etc.). The currencies are used in all financial tables (Project Budget, Financial Summaries, Financial Planning, etc.), and the currency rates are used by the systems to automatically perform currency conversions while saving project data. Two-way currency conversion is supported by Synergy Indicata M&E Engine. This way,

• All amounts recorded in different currencies can be converted into the Australian dollars (AUD) using the following formula: Amount AUD = Amount (Other Currency) / Rate to AUD

• All amounts recorded in Australian dollars (AUD) can be converted into the Local Currency (LC) using the following formula: Amount LC = AUD x Rate (LC) to AUD

The currency exchange rates are stored and managed in the system on the quarterly basis. The appropriate exchange rates are identified based on a time pointer. The exchange rate for the nearest quarter is used when the appropriate exchange rate is missing from the system. The default rates (i.e. for the nearest quarter) are used unless the data entry user manually provides the exchange rate. The provided rate will only be associated with the particular amount value within the scope of the project and will be stored along with it. However, it will not impact the values in other projects. For more details on how you can manage the currencies rates used in the FHF-PRISM application for converting amounts in the source (original) currency into the target one, see the chapter below. More specifically, it outlines how you can:

• Access the currencies rates sub-section • Add new currency exchange rates • Edit and delete existing rates • Search for a currency rate • Expand / collapse currency year group

Searching for a Currency Rate The list of currency rates can be long and hard to browse in. This is the reason why the option of searching for a currency rate has been designed in the Currency Rates sub-section. The search option is intended for locating the appropriate currency rate for the selected period (year and month) easily and instantly. In order to search for a definite currency rate, you need to enter the year and/or month in the search box above the Currency Rates table. The results returned will display the currency rates that match the search criteria.

Expanding / Collapsing Currency Year Group The Currency Rates sub-section can hold almost unlimited quantity of data related to different periods of time, thus, making the sub-section hard to work in. To avoid this problem, as well to provide the

25

INTEGRATED CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM OF IRAQ | Personal Information | User Manual FHF-PRISM | Data Management | Administrator’s Guide

users with an environment where they can easily drill down the wealth of information to focus on the data that they are looking for, the option for collapsing/expanding the year groups has been designed. In order to expand/collapse a definite year group, i.e. to show/hide the data (month) rows associated with the group, you need to scroll right to the end of the year row and click the Expand/Collapse icon (Figure 15). The selected year group will be shown/hidden.

MANAGING INDICATORS Indicators are presented in IDM7 platform as system categories (Figure 16). Compared with other categories in the system, an indicator is an unstructured entity, as each indicator is marked with a unique structure. This is the reason why in the Indicata’s M&E Engine, each indicator record derives information from two sources: Data and Metadata. The Data source provides such information about an indicator as the indicator name, description, start date, end date, etc. This is the general information that comprises an essential part of the indicator profile and is provided in the General tab of the Indicator data entry form. These data are usually used to search for or refine the list of indicators in the analytical and reporting modules of the FHF-PRISM application. The Metadata source provides such information about an indicator as the indicator disaggregation, data points, and aggregation rules, i.e. the indicator properties that are used to calculate values for definite measurement indices. Every indicator in the system has a unique calculation business logic. These metadata are then used in data entry forms and during data analysis. Based on them, the forms draw the indicator table and calculate the agreeable values for activities and sub-activities, if any. Also, based on the metadata, the analytics and reporting modules draw reports with disaggregates and their aggregated values. The tables both in data entry forms and in reports are based on disaggregates defined for an indicator in a definite order. However, the major different between the way the indicator metadata is used in the data entry forms and in analytical reports is that reports show the disaggregate values and their actual values (often consisting of a numerator and denominator) calculated based on the aggregation rules, whereas data entry forms show the calculated values as a single Actual measure. For more details on how indicators are managed in the FHF-PRISM application, see the chapter below. More specifically, it outlines how you can:

• Access the Indicators sub-section • Search for an indicator • Define the sorting order for indicators • Create and edit indicators

Accessing the Indicators Sub-section The Indicators sub-section can be accessed at Settings Data Management Indicators (Figure 1). Please, note that access to this sub-section is defined by the permissions your role has been granted with. To configure access permissions for this sub-section, see the FHF-PRISM Security Administrator’s Guide in REFERENCES. Once you access the Indicators sub-section, you will be presented with the list of all indicators existing in the system (Figure 16).

Indictor Status This presents the indicator status (Active or Archived).

Indicator Type This presents the indicator category (Outcome, Output, or Impact).

Searching for an Indicator The Indicators sub-section in the Data Management console is enhanced with a reliable and versatile search mechanism that allows locating the indicator recorded in the application based on the keyword search criteria. The search mechanism enables matching capabilities using single words and phrases. In order to search for a definite indicator, you need to enter the keyword in the search box above the indicators table. The results returned will display the indicators that match the search criteria.

MANAGING COMPOSITE INDICATORS This chapter outlines how you can manage the composite indicators existing in the FHF-PRISM application. The composite indicators are a special type of indicators that use other indicators in their calculation formula. That is, a composite indicator is created when individual indicators are compiled into a single index. A composite indicator measures multi-dimensional concepts that cannot be captured by a single indicator. Composite indicators are useful as a tool for conveying summary performance information and signalling policy priorities. They have a number of advantages, such as focusing attention on important policy issues, offering a more rounded assessment of performance and presenting the ‘big picture’ in a way in which the public can understand. In the FHF-PRISM, composite indicators and created and maintained in the Composite Indicators sub-section of the Data Management console. For more details on how composite indicators are managed in the FHF-PRISM application, see the chapter below. More specifically, it outlines how you can:

• Access the Composite Indicators sub-section • Search for a composite indicator • Define the sorting order for composite indicators • Create and edit composite indicators

Accessing the Composite Indicators Sub-section The Composite Indicators sub-section can be accessed at Settings Data Management Composite Indicators (Figure 31). Please note that access to this sub-section is defined by the permissions your role has been granted with. To configure access permissions for this sub-section, see the FHF-PRISM Security Administrator’s Guide in REFERENCES.

Once you access the Composite Indicators sub-section, you will be presented with the list of all multi-dimensional indices existing in the system (Figure 31). The information displayed for each composite indicator includes the following:

Column Name Description

Display Name This is the name of the composite indicator.

Indictor Status This presents the composite indicator status (Active or Archived).

Indicator Type This presents the composite indicator category (Outcome, Output, or Impact).

Searching for a Composite Indicator The Composite Indicators sub-section in the Data Management console is enhanced with a flexible search mechanism. Using the search mechanism, you can easily find the indicator that you are looking for from the multitude of indicator records that may be displayed to you. When creating search criteria, you can enter a keyword or any combination of them to define your query. The search mechanism will return all indicators the names of which have matches to the keywords specified in the search criteria.

Note: Please, take into account that the composite indicator actual and target value representation and periodicity related fields are automatically generated based on the indicators included in the composite indicator structure and cannot be changed. This means that the single indicators comprising the composite indicator should have the same target and actual value representation settings and should have the same reporting periodicity. If the indicators have different disaggregation, the resulting composite indicator will use only the values where the single indicators intersect.

Disaggregations In the Disaggregations tab of the composite indicator data entry form (Figure 38), you are requested to provide such information about the composite indicator as the composite indicator data points. As for the disaggregates that are displayed in this tab, the composite indicator inherits them from the single indicators in its structure.
