To add a new Data Collection Tool, if you already have some Data Collection Tools, click “+ Data Collection Tools” OR if this is your first time adding a Data Collection Tool, click “Add Manually” or use the MEL Design Wizard. Fill out the fields you need within the pop-out box. Frequency means how often this data collection tool should be used, for example “Quarterly” or “Baseline, Midterm and Endline”.
To add a copy of a Data Collection Tool, click “+ Data Collection Tools”, and select “COPY DCT” at the bottom of the pop-up window. With this feature you can copy a DCT from one Project to another or copy a DCT within the same Project. Follow the instructions in the modal to select the Organization, Project and DCT you would like to copy. When complete, Kinaki will copy the DCT you selected into your current Project, you can then edit as/if needed. For more detailed steps on using this feature, visit the Copying Data Collection Tools page.
To edit a Data Collection Tool, click on its name in the list or the Edit box with the pencil icon beside it, and edit the information you need within the pop-out box.
To delete a Data Collection Tool, click the “x” on the right from its name and confirm. If the Data Collection Tool has Indicators assigned to it, it cannot be deleted- however, you can delete it if you change the indicators assigned to it. If personal indicators that are assigned to this Data Collection Tool will now be unconnected, a new Data Collection Tool will have to be assigned to those indicators in the future.
