Dictionaries
Most users will have view-only access to certain dictionaries. View access is required to allow users to select items from that dictionary in various fields throughout the system. For example, the Location Dictionary is tied to many fields.
Write access to dictionaries is generally restricted to a limited number of staff at DHSS. This prevents duplicate entries, improves consistency across entries and ensures that dictionary entries can be configured as needed related to other parts of ShowMe WorldCare. For example, Locations and Report Sources must be properly linked to incoming data submitters utilizing those Locations and Report Sources for data to load correctly.
