Raising Complaints
An illustrative guide to using the Complaints Module (Mobile)
Users can file a complaint using the HCM app. There are a few assumptions:
Not all complaints will be logged using the complaints module. Users may prefer raising complaints on WhatsApp groups/calls, and may not be registered in the system.
Complaints are most likely to be logged by users on behalf of other users (Most common use case: Supervisors raising complaints on behalf of users).

When the user clicks on the complaints, she is navigated to the “My Complaints” screen, which consists of two actions:

View previously logged complaints.
File Complaint Workflow
Complaint Type
When the user clicks on file a complaint, the complaint type screen appears. The user must select the type of complaint from the list, which must be configurable (to be configured during implementation as per program requirements).
There is a ‘Next’ button at the bottom of the screen, clicking on which, the user is navigated to the complaint details screen.
Complaint Details
Once the user has selected the type of complaint and clicked on ‘Next’, this screen appears, where they need to provide the complaint details.
The date field is auto-captured by the system, which must be non-editable.
The administrative area is also auto-captured but it is editable. It is editable in case the user is creating the complaint on someone’s behalf. The dropdown displays a list of boundaries that are assigned to the user.
The user needs to select whether she is raising a complaint for herself or on behalf of another user.
If the user wants to raise a complaint for herself, then she must provide the following details:
Name (must be populated if already available in the user’s profile else must be blank).
Contact number (must be populated if already available in the user’s profile else must be blank).
Supervisor’s name and contact number.
If the complaint is raised on behalf of another user, then her details must be captured in the above fields. The user has the option to upload images describing the issue along with a text-based description. If the user wants to change the type of complaint, they can click on the ‘Back’ button and return to the previous screen.
After filling in all the details, the user needs to click on the ‘Submit’ button to file the complaint.
Confirmation Screen
When the user clicks on the submit button after providing all the complaint details, the confirmation screen appears, which provides information on whether the complaint has been submitted or not.
If the complaint has been submitted, then it must show the message to sync the data for generating the complaint number. There must be a back to home button below the message. When the user clicks on it, she must be navigated to the home screen.
If the complaint has not been submitted, then there must be two buttons available; Retry and Back to Home.
