Budget

Understand the basics

It’s important to understand that Budget is not only the name of the component, but is also an entity of the component. Indeed, a same Budget component can contain multiple budgets.

This allows to create complex workflows and answer several use cases.

Konfiguration

Once you created your Budget component, you are redirected to the Budget list. There, you can create and manage the budgets of your component. Depending on the process you want to organize, you can choose:

To create a unique budget, where all your projects to be voted on are displayed.
To create multiple budgets, with dedicated projects inside each of them.

The first thing to do is to create your first budget, by clicking the "New budget" button.

Budget creation

Table 1. Neues Budgetformular
Feld	Typ	Beschreibung
Titel	Benötigt	Wie lautet der Titel dieses Haushaltsplans. Zum Beispiel "Bezirk A"
Bestellposition	Optional	Which order it has in relation to the other budgets. Eine niedrigere Zahl bedeutet eine höhere Priorität. For instance, if you have two budgets, "Budget a" with weight "10" and "Budget b" with weight "0" then "Budget b" is first when ordering.
Beschreibung	Optional	The description of this budget, only displayed visible by participants if there is multiple budgets.
Gesamt Budget	Benötigt	The total amount of money available for this budget.

Budgets verwalten

On the budgets list in the administration panel, administrators can see:

Name: Name of the budget.
Total budget: The total budget allocated to the budget.
Projects count: The number of projects included in each budget.

This page also lets you see the finished and pending votes that the various projects have received across all budgets.

You can also export all the projects of the component in different formats in CSV, JSON and Excel formats.

Aktionen

Table 2. Aktionen
Icon	Name	Definition
	Bearbeiten	To edit the budget.

	Vorschau	To see the budget page in the user interface.
	Löschen	Dieses Budget löschen. Can only be done when there aren’t any projects.

Workflows

Ein nettes Feature der Budget-Komponente ist die Möglichkeit, eigene Workflows zu definieren.

This means that you can define multiple Budgets, for instance one for every city neighborhood or district, define multiple rules regarding how people can vote on those Budgets. By default, three workflows are available:

Stimmen Sie in einem: ermöglicht den Teilnehmern die Abstimmung in jedem Haushalt, aber nur in einem.
Stimmt insgesamt: Erlaubt den Teilnehmern, in allen Haushaltsplänen abzustimmen.
Vote in einer zufälligen Komponent: Erlaubt den Teilnehmern, nur in einem Budget zu wählen, zufällig ausgewählt.

This can be extended in your application by a developer, by developing your own Workflows. Zum Beispiel für die https://www.decidim. arcelona/processes/PressupostosParticipatius[2020/2021 partizipatorische Budgetverfahren in Decidim Barcelona], die Menschen konnten in zwei Bezirken wählen: in dem Bezirk, in dem sie lebten und in dem sie sich entschieden haben. Dies wurde in der decidim-barcelona Applikation definiert.

You can read more about Workflows in decidim-budgets README.md.

Sie möchten nur eine Abstimmung ohne große Komplikationen haben? Wie eine städtische Abstimmung? Don’t worry: if you define only one Budget, then people are redirected directly on the projects list.
