• Incorporate all your indicators from the data collection plan into your data analysis sheet
• Conduct data collection exercises based on your plan 
• Automatically link your online survey results to another sheet (data storage). 
• Insert relevant formula (sum / average) to obtain total / results figure
• Link total/results figure in data storage sheet to actual data in the data analysis sheet
• Compare actual data with either target or trigger values to determine indicator status (on track or not).
• If not on track, indicate the action status (e.g. follow-up or investigate), and describe the actions taken. For example, analyse negative data patterns to pinpoint specific areas for review exercise
