CCE Knowledge Transfer

1 June 2017 - Chongsun takes us on a CCE journey through his experience with VIMS


  1. Equipment types 
    1. Added new type called CCE
    2. Might already be equipment in the system, but only this CCE type would have PQS devices
    3. Had to map equipment types and programs together
      1. each Program has different equip types associated with it. If program and type aren't matched, then that prog isn't managing that type of equpiment

  2. Equipment list
    1. dropdown to see catalog items
    2. specify program dropdown, then only equipment types that match that program are shown
    3. you can Add New equipment
      1. Equip name, Manufacturer, Model, Energy type
  3. Equipment inventory
    1. Functional status
      1. Functional, Non functional, Functional but not installed, Waiting for repair, Obsolete
        1. Obsolete was how VIMS dealt with "archiving"
        2. Obsolete items still show up in inventory list
        3. If you change status to Obsolete it bring up pop up with input for decommission date
        4. System needs to know "good" and "bad" status so that we can do additional logic if needed
    2. Should v3 have a delete button?
      1. Maybe to deal with equipment that had been incorrectly added to inventory list
    3. Moving equipment between facilities
      1. There were permissions in place to allow reassigning facility for a CCE device, but that was turned off to disallow people from doing that within VIMS
  4. Permissions within CCE
    1. Is this the same as with Requisitions? Or is supervisory hierarchy different than CCE management for some countries?

Nick your comment only came to me.

from Josh Zamor to Everyone:

Mary Jo:  to your dashboard question, I believe that yesdashboards in vims used this cold chain info.

from Josh Zamor to Everyone:

CHAI did build a number of reports, and we also tied this in with Requisition's Cold Chain tab, which I think powered a dashboard widget.

from VillageReach Admin to Everyone:

ok, thanks Josh.
