Goals are the sub-categories of Needs and answer the question, “what are the desired outcomes?” The Intervention is how the Goal will be met. This link can be created from the Needs & Goals grid or from the Interventions grid.

  • A Goal is linked to one or more Interventions. PARIS does not enforce Goals to be linked to any Interventions.
  • An Intervention must be linked to at least one Need & Goal.  PARIS does enforce that an Intervention is linked to at least one goal.

Correct Linking Mistakes

In the case of a Goal being linked to an Intervention by mistake, the Goal and Intervention can be unlinked as long as the Intervention is linked to another Goal. These corrections can be made from the Needs & Goals grid or from the Interventions grid.

  • Unlink a Need & Goal from an Intervention

IMPORTANT: This should only be done if the Goal has been linked to the Intervention by mistake, and not when the Goal or Intervention has ended.

You cannot unlink a Goal from an Intervention if the Intervention is not linked to another Goal.

1. Expand the Needs & Goals section. (You can do this from the Interventions section as well by selecting the incorrect Interventions and following the same steps).

2. Select the incorrect Need & Goal and click Modify row. The 'Needs & goals - entry' window appears.

3. Click the Link_Goal_to_one_or_more_Interventions.png button. The Link to interventions window appears:

4. Deselect the one or more Goals that are incorrect and click select. The deselected Interventions will now be removed from the Linked Interventions field.

NOTE: If you attempt to remove a link that cannot be removed, a message will be displayed.
