Note: In order to use this feature, you must have Case Sharing enabled in your app. For more information, please see this page.

Once you've defined a hierarchy, it can be used to simplify managing the project: 

  • Case Sharing can be configured so that cases are assigned to a location. Then higher levels can see cases of lower levels (ex. Mobile workers at a clinic can see the CHWs' cases)

  • Lookup Tables can be assigned to a location allowing all mobile workers at that unit and below it to see that lookup table's data

  • Your organization structure can be displayed inside your forms (ex. Allowing users to choose the village for a given beneficiary from a list).

In the future, "Organizations" will also enable reporting and data exports (allowing you to download data or a view a report for users at and below a particular organization unit).
