What the words mean

Baseline borrows words from the national reporting framework, so a few of them won't be ones you'd use yourself. The first three are the ones that matter most.

Programme

The thing that runs — a weekly skills session, a tournament, a holiday programme. You set one up once, and it stays there all term.

Where you see it: The lists on your home page: “My recurring” and “My one-offs”.

Session

One single date that a programme ran on. A weekly programme over ten weeks has ten sessions. You don't create these by hand — Baseline makes one for each week when you set the programme up.

Where you see it: The table of dates when you open a programme.

Recurring / one-off

Recurring means it repeats week after week, so Baseline makes a row for every week. One-off means it happens once, on a single date.

Where you see it: The “How often does it run?” question when you add a programme.

Branded

Whether Basketball New Zealand branding was up and visible at the event — signage, uniforms, banners. Only branded events count towards some of the reporting.

Where you see it: The last question when you add a programme: “Was the event branded?”

Subregion

Your patch: Whangārei, Far North, Mid North, Hokianga or Kaipara. It's the area you log sessions for.

Where you see it: You choose it the first time you sign in — on a screen that calls it your “association”, confusingly — and it shows in the top-left of every screen after that.

Association

The whole of Northland — all five subregions together, and one level up from a subregion.

Where you see it: Reporting screens, where figures are totalled across every subregion. Careful: the welcome screen says “pick your association” when what it means is your subregion.

Offering

One kind of thing you intend to deliver, described in the framework's language — who it's for (age band, girls/boys), what sort of thing it is, and at what level. It's a plan, not something that has happened yet.

Where you see it: The rows inside “Edit projection”.

Delivery model

What sort of thing an offering is — skills sessions, an in-school programme, a holiday programme, 3x3, and so on. It's the first thing you choose when adding one.

Where you see it: The “Delivery model” choice in Edit projection.

Projection

What your subregion is planning to deliver this year: a list of offerings, with how many kids you expect to reach in each term. You set it at the start of the year and adjust it as things change.

Where you see it: The “Edit projection” button on your dashboard.

Term

The four school terms. Every date Baseline records falls into one of them, so a year's plan is split four ways.

Where you see it: The four columns in Edit projection, and the term chips on your dashboard.

Band

The age group a thing is aimed at — Tamariki (5–14), Rangatahi (15–18) or Pākeke (19 and over).

Where you see it: The “Age group” choice in Edit projection, and the groupings on your dashboard.

Minimum

The least that's expected to be delivered in a category. Set by BBNZ, not by you — it's the bar your projection is measured against.

Where you see it: As a “min” figure at the foot of the list inside Edit projection.
