# PSE Sustainability Mechanisms

#### Location

This panel appears on the following dashboards:

* [SNAP-Ed Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/snap-ed-dashboard.md)
* [Extension Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/extension-dashboard.md)

#### Modules Included

* PSE Site Activities (Sustainability data)

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only PSE Site Activities the current user has permission to view are included.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

* **Verified** — The PSE module does not have a verification status field.
* **Session Date Range** — PSE Site Activities do not have session occurrences.
* **Primary Curriculum** — PSE Site Activities do not have a curriculum field.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable PSE Site Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. Sustainability records are examined for each PSE record.
3. Each sustainability mechanism category is tallied by its response level (e.g., the degree to which the mechanism is in place).
4. A stacked bar chart is displayed where:
   * The x-axis shows the sustainability mechanism categories.
   * Each stacked segment represents a response level.
   * The segment height represents the count of PSE records with that response for that mechanism.

#### Additional Notes

* Sustainability mechanisms represent the long-term structures and practices that support the continuation of PSE changes after the initial effort.
