This guide aims to gather all the essential features of the Toovalu Impact tool so that you can be as autonomous as possible in collecting your data.
As a reminder, our tool consists of two parts:
The first one we will call Admin which encompasses all the configuration features.
The second part, Tool, represents the operational side with Collection, Analysis of your results, and the Strategy to be implemented within your organization.
This is the part of the tool that we will detail below.
C'est parti !
To begin with, you can see that there are several pillars that make up your homepage. The Collection - The Verification (Pilot only) - the Analysis - the Climate Strategy
These elements represent the steps for developing your assessment.
We can see this as a timeline, with actions to be performed within these steps.
We will review these steps, specifying how and what the features you will be asked to use are for. Each action will direct you to FAQ articles that will detail these various actions.
The collectors only have access to this part of Toovalu Impact
