CommTrack FM & Dev Roles
- Unlike in CommCare where FMs can build forms and manage case properties, CommTrack app building would be mostly done by developers. FMs would only need to setup locations, products, and programs for the system.
- Location is the case in CommTrack. Unlike in CommCare where cases are registered, updated, and closed by mobile users, location in CommTrack can only be created by web users.
- Product is NOT case. It is fixture item.
