Edit PRM Mappings

Here you edit the mappings between an investment and the Interior PRM. There are two versions of this screen, for intermediate and end outcomes. The PRM can only be mapped to the investment level, as shown in this diagram.

Text at top

The top of the window shows what system you are working in and where it is. Depending on what you selected in the main screen, this window will show that you are editing either intermediate or end outcomes. Intermediate outcomes are the plateaus on the way to the end outcomes. If the end outcome of your process is to go to the moon, one intermediate outcome would be to build a spaceship. End outcomes have to do with long-term strategy; where you want to be in 5 years. Intermediate outcomes have to do with short-term, tactical plans.

Levels

Click in the checkbox beside a line to map that line. Do NOT check any DOI-tracked systems unless you know what you are doing; once checked, these cannot be unchecked. To make it easier to find checked lines, no line shows up opened into sublevels unless one of the sublevels is selected. This picture has the sublevels opened only for illustration--since some of them are not checked, normally those would not be opened up.

Find

This button opens up the Find popup window to give you a search function. You can select mappings directly from the Find window.

Save

This button saves your mappings and returns you to the main screen.

Cancel

This button returns you to the main screen without saving your work. You will get a popup window asking if you want to discard your changes.

Help

This button opens up the tutorial you are reading now, through the link on this popup window:

Where you go next

"Find" opens up a popup window that eventually returns you to this screen. "Save" and "Cancel" will both take you back to the main screen.
