Presupuesto

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.

Configuración

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. Nueva forma de presupuesto
Campo	Tipo	Descripción
Título	Requerido	¿Cuál es el título de este presupuesto? Por ejemplo, "Distrito A"
Posición del pedido	Opcional	Which order it has in relation to the other budgets. Tener un número más bajo significa una prioridad mayor. 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.
Descripción	Opcional	The description of this budget, only displayed visible by participants if there is multiple budgets.
Presupuesto total	Requerido	The total amount of money available for this budget.

Administrar presupuestos

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.

Acciones

Table 2. Acciones
Icono	Nombre	Definición

	Eliminar	Para eliminar este presupuesto. Can only be done when there aren’t any projects.

Flujo de trabajo

Una característica clara del componente Presupuestos es la capacidad de definir sus propios flujos de trabajo.

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:

Votar en uno: permite a los participantes votar en cualquier presupuesto, pero sólo en uno.
Votar en todo: permite a los participantes votar en todos los presupuestos.
Votar en un componente aleatorio: permite a los participantes votar sólo en un presupuesto, seleccionado al azar.

This can be extended in your application by a developer, by developing your own Workflows. Por ejemplo, para el https://www.decidim. arcelona/procesos/PressupostosParticipatius[2020/2021 Participatory Budgeting Process in Decidim Barcelona], la gente podía votar en dos distritos: el donde vivía y uno de sus opciones. Esto fue definido en la decidim-barcelona aplicación sí misma.

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

¿Sólo quieres votar sin muchas complicaciones? ¿Como una votación en toda la ciudad? Don’t worry: if you define only one Budget, then people are redirected directly on the projects list.
