The community scorecard app is designed to decentralise data entry. The intention is that data is entered by the people facilitating scorecards (or people close to them if that is not possible).
For this reason, the app contains four user roles which can be given to different people using the app. These roles determine what they can see and do within the app.
| Role | Level | Tasks |
| App Manager | App | This role is for users managing the community scorecard app. It enables you to assign other roles (or remove them), to manage the master indicator list and to add new units or cycles. |
| View only | App | This is a view only role. It gives access to all data across all units and scorecards, but does not allow you to do anything. |
| Data entry | Unit | This role operates within a specific unit. The person with this role may add a group, action, outcome or monitor an action plan. |
| Data review | Unit | This role operates within a specific unit. The person with this role may approve or refer back a group, action, outcome or monitor an action plan. |
When you start using the app it is important to assign the App Manager role to the people with an overview of the scorecards you are implementing. They can then add new units (and scorecards within those units) and assign the data entry and data review role to the people working on each unit.
This enables people with the App Manager role to coordinate the process of implementing scorecards on a large scale, while still being able to track closely what data has been entered and what is missing.
