Catchment Population import

OpenLMIS provides functionality to update catchment population of specific geographic zones in bulk - via file import. How to do it?

1. Create simple .csv file that will consist of two columns - code and catchmentPopulation:
   
   

   Open

   

    

2. Enter the geographic zone codes along with their corresponding catchment population values.

   • If CATCHMENT_POPULATION_CALC_AUTO is true, only geographic zones at the lowest level can be updated.

   • Otherwise (CATCHMENT_POPULATION_CALC_AUTO is false), updates can be made at any geographic level, allowing manual modifications across all zones.
     
     

   Open

   

    

3. Save file with geographicZones.csv name. It must be geographicZones.csv.
   
   

4. Create a .zip file with this geographicZones.csv file. Here the .zip file name does not matter.
   
   

5. Go to the Administration panel and select Data Import:

    

6. Select Geographic Zones from drop-down menu:
   
   

    

7. Click Select File and choose your zip file created in point 4:
   
   

    

8. Click Import in right bottom corner:
   
   

    

9. You will see an informational pop-up that everything went well or any issue occurred during file processing (e.g. attempt to update non-lowest geographical level).
   
   

10. Go to the Administration panel and select Geographic Zones:
    
    

    
    and verify if data from the file has been reflected there.
