To log in to Primero/GBVIMS+ you will need a username and password that should be assigned to you. Click in the username box and type in your unique username. Then, enter your password in the field below.
Previously, we went over an overview of the system, now let’s look at the system more closely.
To use GBVIMS+ the rollout will need to be endorsed by the GBVIMS Steering Committee. Once that happens and the criteria and resources required are met, then the system will be set up by a system administrator. That administrator will provide log-in information for users to access the system.

2. Navigating GBVIMS+ Dashboard or Home Page
Clicking on the Primero icon from any page will take you back to the dashboard.
Let’s look further into navigating the system.
Clicking on the Primero icon from any page will take you back to the dashboard or home page. This is where you can quickly find information about the cases and incidents you have access to. This includes recently created or modified cases or incidents.

3. Navigating GBVIMS+ Header Navigation Bar
The header navigation is the dark bar across the top of the screen in which you can navigate to your home page (or dashboard), cases, incidents, and reports. It also has a quick search field that can help you find a specific case quickly.
Below that, depending on your role (casework, supervisor, coordinator, etc.) your dashboard or header navigation bar will look a little different. The header navigation bar functions just like a menu bar on any website. Clicking on any part of the bar will direct to that page.

4. Navigating GBVIMS+ Logout, My Account and Contact & Help Links
Above the Header Navigation bar, there are small links that bring you to pages that allow you to logout of the system, help to manage your account and contact information, as well as find out who is your organization system admin.
To the right of the header navigation bar is information about your account, contact and help and a way to logout of the system.

When you want to see a list of the cases or incidents you have access to, click on ‘cases’ or ‘incidents’ from the header navigation to see a list.
Below the header navigation bar, if you click on cases or incidents you’ll see the list view. This shows you all the cases or incidents you have access to. This list can be filtered or sorted. You can also click on any ID to look at that case or incident individually.

6. Navigating GBVIMS+ Filtering

This allows users to perform action on an individual case or multiple cases.
The possible actions, depending on your permission, include:
Flag
Import
Export
Refer
Transfer

Next we have the action buttons and anchored header. The action buttons are located just below the header navigation bar. In what is called the Anchored Header, meaning it stays at the top of the screen when scrolling. This is a list of the actions a user can perform on an individual or multiple cases. These actions are dependent on your role in the system. Some users don’t have the ability to transfer for example so that button would not appear for them.

9. Navigating GBVIMS+

Flagged cases will appear with a flag on the cases or incidents page. You can un-flag a case by clicking on the case and including a reason for unflagging the case. The system will automatically keep a record of flags for each cases or incident. You can also filter to flagged cases or incidents in the filter panel. .

10. Cases and Incidents
GBVIMS+ allows for incident recording and managing cases over time
Cases are individual cases for case management
Incidents are individual act of violence as reported by survivors for tracking like the existing GBVIMS Incident Recorder
