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

  1. You have more than a certain number of mobile users (anyway, a lot)
  2. In your project each mobile user is associated with multiple locations / programs

Manual Creation

Go to Users screen and select "New Mobile Worker". Two steps are included in this manual creation process:

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

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 CommTrack 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 CommTrack can display the association with one of the many facilities that the mobile worker is associated with. In matt's case, Go to CommTrack and you would see the Supply Point he is associated with clinic 6.
