Gerald,

OK, so there is no intention or requirement to track and analyze such data
per school, then. If the idea is simply to somehow store a list of schools
from where the data originates, and assuming that you are collecting it per
chiefdom and per month, I would rather change the data element you have
already created into a long text field. Capturers can then add school names
in there, separated by a semi-colon or similar delimiter.

Just make sure everybody understands that if the data per chiefdom per
month has not already been aggregated in the input form, then such
aggregation must be done manually during data entry.

Note also that you do have one other possibility, and that is to treat each
school report received as an event - or in other words you set this up as
an Event Program - without registration, presumably - where the school
itself it the entity.

Regards
Calle
