Case sharing by module

Users

Hi All,

Is there a way to specify case sharing for different groups by module? I
would with users to only share cases for a specific case type. Is there
anyone who has done this before or is this an existing feature on CommCare?

Regards

Mourice,

Unfortunately we don't support this use case out of the box easily on the
app builder.

However, you can configure this manually by specifying the "owner_id"
property for new cases which you don't want to share to be set to the id of
the current user (defined in the form as a hidden value) in the normal case
property configuration screen. That will result in those cases not being
shared.

You can retrieve the value of the current user id inside the form by
setting its calculated value to be

instance('commcaresession')/session/context/userid

Thanks Clayton. This may work to sort out the challenge of case sharing.
My only issue is that the form leads to different outcomes which would lead
to different child cases to be formed bases on the response. Example is if
its a live birth then a new child and a postnatal mother is created which
should be under this CHW. If the mother dies then a verbal autopsy is
meant to be opened but this is the only one that needs to be completed by
someone else. Any advice how I can set this up will be appreciated.

Mourice,

I would recommend creating the Verbal Autopsy as a separate module.

Instead of setting the case management configuration to "opens a case", you
can try "opens a case in a different module". You can create two different
case creation blocks, one with the custom property, and one without. One
representing the live birth, one representing the verbal autopsy.

Does that make sense?
