Let’s look at the Analyze Data and Reports features in Kinaki!
Analyze Data
You can start on the Analyze Data page to look at your indicators and explore your data. Make sure to submit your datasets to make them available for analysis by going to Collect data > Data Management once you are ready.
If you want to add your analysis to a Report, we recommend you go to the Reports page and create a report first. So that when you analyze your data and run any calculations, you can save and add them to the report you have already created.
After creating your report, go back to Analyze Data and select a Data Collection Tool and the associated indicator from the drop-down menus. You can read how to select an indicator for analysis here.
Setting your report up first also helps you think through what types of calculations you will need.
For example, you might set up an Annual Report, and therefore want to ensure you group and aggregate results accordingly.
You can create as many reports as you want, to fit your needs.
Setting Calculations
Once you have selected an Indicator, choose your disaggregation, calculate your results and if you are pleased with what you see – you can save your calculation. You can review your calculation and add it directly to your report(s)!
Our result visuals give you a detailed view of of your calculations, and you can export your results or export your data from Kinaki into Excel or a PDF.
Note: Be sure to consider the needs of your organization and donors when deciding which calculations you will generate, by reflecting on each related Indicator and Question.
Customizing Reports
Back in Reports, you can check out what you have created so far!
When going through your report, you can perform various actions like edit columns and sections, add multiple additional Indicators, group datasets and aggregate datasets.
Exporting Reports
Kinaki’s latest report sharing feature makes it easy to share your Project Report with people within and outside of your team with a URL link.
Go to Projects > Reports and click on the Share option on the top left of the screen. With three accessibility choices, you can choose the best option that fits your needs:
Member Only (accessible to people registered with Kinaki)
Password Protected (accessible via a password protected link)
Public (accessible to anyone with the link)
You can choose the language(s) for the report and customize the report by adding your organization’s logo!
Once you have chosen the access type, language, and logo, click on Publish Report. On the next screen you will get a link that you can copy and share. You can also email the report to multiple people. You will see the email text/info the recipients will receive and click on Email Report.
