Re: moving data from one facility to another

 

Hi,

I am not sure this should go into the dataadmin module if that is what you
are thinking Lars.

I understand your reasoning I guess, but the most common use case is a data
entry clerk e.g. at a district that is filling in forms for 15 clinics every
month and makes a mistake like selecting the wrong clinic or month and needs
to change back without first deleting and then filling all the data again. I
assume that this user does not have access to the data admin module at all
and that this functionality should be offered in the data entry UI in a
restricted manner based on which orgunints the user can manage, and which
data sets these orgunits are assigned to.

Another less common use case that I can see now is more of a data cleaning
exercise done by an administrator where this user has found that data for
one or more months have been registered for the wrong orgunit, or for the
wrong year and then needs to move these to the correct orgunit or month.

If possible I would suggest that we offer this functionality from both
modules, with the data admin being a bit more advanced with batch features
where collections of form instances can be moved around. I suggest we start
with the simple case in data entry where one specific form instance, the one
the user has opened, can be moved to a different orgunit and/or period given
that this new instance does not already have data in it.

What do you think?
