On this page you will find an introduction to the Data Settings.

You can access the Data Settings under the Administration section in the navigation. Here you will have an overview of all data collections, data structures and value lists on the system.

Add New Category to Data Settings

Projects use many data collections in their MIS tool, so it makes sense to organise them in different categories.

Tip: Use the category “Data Collection” for data pots that store operational data e.g. events, projects or trainings; “Value Lists” for collections used in Data Collections and “Structure” for all static data in terms of geographical regions or institutions.

To add a new categorie to the Data Settings,

click on the Additional Settings Icon in the top right corner and
select Manage Categories and new dialogue opens up. On the left side of the screen you see all the existing categories.
Click on the Add Button to create a new category,
insert the information and
click Save.
