Im designing an application for a nutrition survey. The team member goes
into a community and measures the nutritional status of several children in
the area. Currently the paper form has "health district" "council"
"village" and "team" at the top of the sheet, and then the operator fills
in details for several children on the same sheet.
How can I design my forms so that the operator doesn't have to fill in
"health district" "council" "village" and "team" for each child - they can
just do it once for a group of children.....?
One possibility here would be to have the locational information be stored
in its own case type. The operator would fill out one form to create a case
for the location at the beginning of their visit, then select this case
from a case list for each subsequent child visit, having the location data
loaded into the form.
Best,
Will

Thanks very much! Yeah, that makes perfect sense - having locations as the
parents and then multiple children for each
perfect, thanks

Just a clarification on this point - I am currently creating the "location"
forms and the "child cases". So there are 2 forms; 1 with general location
data, and the other about the individual children. Multiple children can be
registered per location.
So, for the children form, I click "updates or closes a case" and then
select "child cases" - but I don't want to see these child cases in the
location case list, so therefore I have to create a new module, right? but
I don't have any other forms to put in this module!?
Am I making sense?? what should I do? Or am I doing it wrong?
Thanks for help,
Natasha

Yes, that's correct. You should create those children cases in a different
module (so they are separated). You should add a new module to your
application and specify a different case type for that new module.
