Comment: Text about bulk adding locations, removed old screenshot

There are two ways creating mobile users: Manual creation and Bulk upload. You should use bulk upload tool if:

...

  1. Basic input: username and password
  2. CommCare Supply settings: clicking the username of the newly created mobile user, select 'CommCare SupplyLocations' to the right of 'BasicGroups' and associate the mobile user with a specific supply point and program

Bulk Upload

This tool would allow you to create mobile workers in bulk and associate them with different locations all in one go. Go to Users and select Bulk Upload. Download excel file.

In sheet users, username and password are two required columns. All else are optional (phone-number would also be required if you are using CommCare Supply SMS instead of mobile app).

Once you are done with the sheet, go to sheet locations and associate each mobile worker with facilities. It is necessary to fill in username and location-sms-code columns.

Once you are done with these two sheets, upload it and click 'Create Mobile Workers'. After you see the line "Your bulk user upload is completed!",  go back to Mobile Worker page and check if they are associated with facilities you assigned them.

Displaying all the facilities that that person is linked to is a future feature, but is not currently implemented. Right now CommCare Supply can display the association with one of the many facilities that the mobile worker is associated with. In matt's case, Go to CommCare Supply and you would see the Supply Point he is associated with clinic 6.

Fill in the other fields as necessary and note that a user can be assigned a location (Supply Point) through the location columns. A user can be assigned multiple locations if desired, though for each additional location a new column must be added in excel (location_code 2, etc.)

Once you are done editing the download, upload it and if there are no errors, you will be shown a screen like the image below.

On the Mobile Workers page, selecting that worker's user name will bring you to Edit Mobile Workers. The Locations tab on this screen will show you what Locations (or Supply Points) are assigned to this user. Here, you can also see that user's primary location and any associated Program.
