Two questions:

1. If one is to take a simplified view and prefer to implement the thing
through meta-data definition, how would you advise the community? I would
say it will be challenging, because typically Results framework can have
multiple levels and typically are flexible in design unless the user is
deciding on a fixed format.. We actually faced issues with this, some of
them given below:

   - Project was created as "Org unit group" >> this led to projects list
   show up in pivot table and other places within org unit.
   - Outcomes and objectives which are levels of the results framework and
   have group of indicators under them were made as Data indicator groups.
   Again these started showing up in pivot tables etc.
   - Major issue was, one indicator can be mapped to multiple projects. For
   example, Number of consultations provided is an indicator under all
   projects. Therefore, one indicator has multiple targets, baselines, source
   of verification etc (for different projects).Creating new indicator for
   each new project was a complete no-no for us.
   - Handling targets was difficult because, target for a certain indicator
   and certain project is valid for the project lifetime. Now, projects can
   have any start and end dates, therefore, target datasets had to me made
   monthly.
   - generating a valid logframe report, when different indicators belonged
   to different org unit. We had logframe where different levels belonged to
   different org units. for example, Objective A is for Org unit A, and
   Objectve B is for org unit 2.Here, the user had no options other than
   choosing the right org unit from a selection window, again and again for
   different indicators.


2. If the app you are is in some sort of working state, is is something
that you could share to the community? I am not sure at this moment, but
ours is very specific to our needs and is not generic.
