Microplan Assumptions

The Microplan Assumptions step is designed to streamline the process of defining critical campaign-related hypotheses based on the selected Resource Distribution Strategy and Campaign Type. This step consists of two substeps:

Step 1: Registration and Distribution Process Selection

This screen adapts based on the Resource Distribution Strategy chosen during the Campaign Details step.

1. Mixed Strategy:

For campaigns following the Mixed Strategy, the system prompts users to provide details for both the registration and distribution processes. They can choose from three options: Mixed, House to House, and Fixed Post. Both registration and distribution processes can be Mixed. However, the same method cannot be selected for both in the case of Fixed post and House to House.

Prompts:

1. How is the campaign registration process happening?

   • Users are required to select from predefined options such as House-to-House, Fixed, Mixed, etc.

2. How is the campaign distribution process happening?

   • Users must select a different option (when the campaign registration process is not Mixed) from the registration process, tailored to the distribution method (For example: House-to-House, Fixed, Mixed, etc.).

This distinction ensures that the two processes are appropriately differentiated and configured.

2. Fixed or House-to-House Strategy:

For these strategies, users are prompted to specify the relationship between registration and distribution processes:

Question:

• Is the registration and distribution process happening together or separately?

  • Options:

    • Together

    • Separately

The response determines how the system pre-configures subsequent assumptions.

Step 2: Assumptions Form

Once the registration and distribution process is selected, users proceed to the Assumptions Form, which dynamically adapts based on campaign-specific parameters.

Configurability of Assumptions Data (Categories and Assumptions)

The form fetches data from the MDMS and includes categories and assumptions customised according to:

• The Campaign Type (For example: Bednets, SMC)

• The Resource Distribution Strategy (For example: House-to-House, Fixed, Mixed)

Examples of some dynamic categories of Assumptions:

1. General Assumptions:

   • High-level parameters that apply to the overall campaign.

2. Registration Assumptions:

   • Assumptions are specific to how and where registration activities occur.

3. Distribution Assumptions:

   • Parameters defining the methodology and logistics for distributing resources.

4. Commodities Assumptions:

   • Details about distributed items, such as the number of bednets per household.

Features of the Assumptions Form:

1. Input Values:

   • Users must input specific values for each assumption.

   • Validation Rules:

     • Assumption values must:

       • Be numerical and are mandatory. and fall within the range of 0 to 1000.

       • Contain at most two decimal places (For example, 12.34 is valid, but 12.345 is not).

       • Adhere to a specific format, ensuring they match the pattern of a valid decimal or whole number (For example, 123.45 or 678).

   • Tooltips:

     • Each category includes input parameters with tooltips that provide detailed information when users hover over the respective field.

2. Manage Assumptions:

   • Users can add new assumptions or delete existing ones based on campaign needs.

   • Initiate Adding an Assumption:

     • Users can click the "Add New Assumption" button from the assumptions management interface.

     • Assumption Details Input:

       • A popup/modal is displayed with the following fields:

         • Choose Assumption: A dropdown or selection box to choose an existing assumption or create a new one.

         • Assumption Name: An input field where users specify the name of the new assumption.

     • Confirmation Options:

       • Cancel: Discards the changes and closes the popup/modal.

       • Add: Saves the new assumption after passing validation checks.

     • 

       

       

• Deleting Assumption

  • Users can click the 'Delete' button from the assumptions management interface.

  • Confirmation Options:

    • No: Discards the changes and closes the popup/modal.

    • Yes: Deletes the assumption.

  • Recovering deleted assumption:

    • Users can click the "Add New Assumption" button from the assumptions management interface and select the deleted assumption from the Choose Assumption dropdown.

  •

Customisation and Management:

Each assumption category and its parameters are dynamically tailored based on:

• The selected Campaign Type

• The chosen Resource Distribution Strategy
