This is a guide on how to initiate distributions for specific zones, programs, and time periods using the SELV online mode and then access the cached initiated distribution to record data when in offline mode. This allows users to initiate distributions in online mode and then access those distributions to record data when no longer connected to the Internet.

Step-by-step guide
Request a distribution in online mode

  1. Go online
  2. Open Chrome web browser
  3. Go to http://selv.villagereach.org 
    Note: You must access the site using the http URL (rather than https) otherwise the page with the recorded data will not open in Step 1 of "Access Record Data page in offline mode" below. Additionally, distributions initiated using the https

    URL will not be visible when

    URL will not be visible when using http.

     
     

  4. Enter your username and password
  5. Go to Distributions > Manage
  6. Select the delivery zone
  7. Select the program Vacinas
  8. Select the time period, which is the month of the distribution. (The distribution month is the month during which you started the distribution, even if it was at the very end or very beginning of the month. For example, if you left on August 31st, it is an August distribution. If you left on September 1st, it is a September distribution).
  9. Click Initiate Distribution. If you get a message that the distribution has already been initiated, that means the distribution has already been started on another computer.
  10. Once the distribution with your selected zone, program, and period has been successfully initiated it will show up in the “Initiated Distributions” list at the bottom of the page.
  11. You can now go offline. The data for your initiated distribution has been cached and can be accessed in offline mode.

Access Record Data page in offline mode

  1. Choose an initiated distribution from the list and click on Record Data. This will take you to the page to enter data for the distribution. (If no page opens when you click on the link, refer to the note in Step 3 of "Request a distribution in online mode" above.)
  2. The first time you access this page after going offline, the program will not indicate that you are offline. (This would normally appear in the top right-hand corner.)
  3. Go to Distributions > Manage to return to the Initiated Distributions page.
    Note: In offline mode this page will only show only the list of initiated distributions and will not allow you to request new distributions.
     
  4. Click Record Data for the chosen initiated distribution in the list.
  5. The Record Data page will now show "Go Online" in the top right corner, indicating that you are now offline. 

  6. To return to online mode, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and click Go Online.
    Note: You can enter data for initiated distributions on the Recorded Data page in both online AND offline mode.
