- CommCare Supply on a mobile app is designed for mobile agents who are assigned to collect and report logistics data of products in facilities. They are created by supervisors on CommCare Supply web.
- Once they log into the CommCare Supply mobile app with the credentials provided by supervisors, their associations with given products and given facilities are synced to their mobile app.
- Data cannot be edited by the agent once it gets submitted. The phone syncs with the server automatically when there is internet connectivity.
