Menu & Form Types
...
Before you build a CommCare form, you will need to decide what kind of menu you want your form to be nested in. Your options include the following:
Surveys
For one-time data collection. You can read more here: Surveys
When building surveys in CommCare, all forms are nested within a Survey Menu that can only add other survey forms.
...
Case List
To structure forms that register and follow-up on items or people of interest over time, via Case Management.
When you select a case list, your application will always start with a registration form. In building out other forms, you have the option to select another registration or follow-up form.
...
Shadow Modules
Mimic any of the menus that you have already set up
Naming Conventions
Users will navigate the application using form and menu names.
Names should clearly describe what the menu or form doesÂ
They should be short names (fit on one line of the phone's screen)
Use the same name for forms with similar functions (ex. registration in different modules)
Menu Settings
All menu types can be managed in Menu Settings. To find Menu settings, click, the top-level menu item and it will bring you to the settings.
