This is a note for FM/Biz Dev folks who want to set up a CommTrack workspace with beautiful inventory reports using commtrack-demo-2014 workspace as an example.
Why we need to set Default Monthly Consumption Values?
Because we need beautiful inventory reports to demo external users and self-starters.
- Go to Setup, select 'Upload Locations from Excel', download your current location data 'locations.xlsx'. At supply point level (the last sheet in the location file you downloaded, in this case it is sheet clinic).
- Add a new column after site_code: PROGRAMNAME_PRODUCTNAME (e.g.: default_pp)
- Fill in values for each cell in this column. This is the estimated consumption value of a specific product per month for this location
- Save and upload the excel file
- Manual check: Go back to Setup, select 'Manage Locations', select Edit at each clinic. You should see Default Consumption Values for each product the location is associated with, which are unchangeable.
- Repeat all these steps if you want to change Default Monthly Consumption Values - there is no other UI for now.
- Deploy the push_demo app and submit data to get the graphs running!
Side note: the demo app is built in French. To change the language: 1). log in the mobile app with a mobile worker's credential; 2). click upper right and select 'settings'; 3). Change locales and select English.
