If you are done with data entry for that particular dataset then click the complete button.
NB : if data is already complete done cannot alter the data
Currently targeted for MER, EA, and SIMS
Quarterly reporting for some data (importantly those harmonized with MoH)
Distinction between FACTS Info (USG only, national level and above) and DATIM (partners plus USG – national level and below). Indicators only (FI has lots more).
Hopefully partners will use a a monthly collection tool (like MoH does).
