Countries and projects

Below the organisation sit your countries, and inside each country are its projects. One project maps to one region. This page covers how administrators create and manage both.

The Countries link in the sidebar opens the My Countries page.

The My Countries page

The page is titled My Countries and shows a card with a table of every country in your organisation, sorted by name. Each country name is a link into that country’s dashboard. There is a delete control on each row, and a New country button to add one.

Creating a country

Click New country to open the new-country form, which is a four-step wizard. Step 1 captures the country details (Country Name, Region Label, District Label, Country Code and Year start month). Step 2 adds one or more regions and their districts: enter a Region name and its Districts (comma-separated), then click Add region; the region appears in the Added regions and districts table, and you can repeat this for each region. Step 3 lets you copy an existing school form spec: for each existing country that has form specs, the page offers its school forms as checkboxes so you can reuse one or more as the starting point for the new country, rather than building the monitoring form from scratch. Step 4 records the current or last term dates (Start and End date). A Cancel link returns you to the home page without creating anything.

Reuse a form where you can

Copying an existing school form spec saves a lot of setup. If a similar country already exists, start from its form and adjust afterwards.

Projects setup

Each country’s projects are managed from the country’s Configuration menu, under Projects (see The Configuration menu). One project is created per region.

On the Projects page you can:

• New Region: add a region. You give it a Name (at least 3 characters), and a project is created automatically for that region.
• Edit: change the Name and the class-size settings (the Average Primary One Class Size and the Average Early Years Class Size).
• Delete a project.

A project can only be deleted when it is empty

Deleting a project is only allowed when it has no managers, no forms, no staff and no schools. If any of those exist, remove or reassign them first.

Deleting a country

Deleting a country is permanent: it cannot be undone. The dashboard asks you to confirm before it goes ahead.

A country can only be deleted when it has no officials, no forms and no regions. Remove those first if you need to delete the country.
