There are two ways creating mobile users: Manual creation and Bulk upload. You should use bulk upload tool if:
- You have more than a certain number of mobile users (anyway, a lot)
- 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:
- Basic input: username and password
- CommCare Supply settings: clicking the username of the newly created mobile user, select 'Locations' to the right of 'Groups' and associate the mobile user with a specific supply point and program.
Bulk Upload
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.
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 Program they're associated with.
