Geographic reference data
The Geography group of the side menu manages the administrative divisions and infrastructure used throughout the GIS: forms, filters, reports and the map.
What the group contains
Geography
├── Regions
├── Sectors
├── Localities (villages, neighbourhoods, tabancas)
├── Schools
├── Health Centers
├── Water Points
└── Police Stations
Each entry appears only to users who hold the matching view permission, for example viewing regions. The add, edit and delete buttons depend on the create, edit and delete permissions of the same screen (Settings → Roles).
A shared layout
Every screen in the group works the same way.
| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Export | CSV, Excel or PDF menu |
| Add | Opens the creation form |
| Figure cards | Total, items with GPS and one indicator specific to the screen |
| Filters | Region, sector or locality depending on the screen |
| Search | Filters the displayed rows across all their fields |
| Table | 50 rows per page (the full list on one page for health centers and police stations), with Edit and Delete icons |
The form opens in a window. Required fields carry an asterisk. Deletion asks for confirmation.
Search applies to the displayed page. To find an item across several pages, narrow the list with the filters first.
GPS coordinates
Coordinates are entered in decimal degrees, for example a latitude of 12.1 and a longitude of -15.2 in Guinea-Bissau. The GPS column shows a badge with the coordinates, or a dash when they are missing. An item without coordinates does not appear on the GIS map.
Export
The export uses the table columns and the active filters. It covers the whole filtered set, across all pages.
