The dashboards are only as good as the data behind them. This short eLearning walkthrough covers the cleaning and management practices that get the most out of CommCare-collected data, from the moment a form is submitted to the moment it lands in a report.
Spotting data-quality issues
A tour of the common patterns: duplicate cases, mis-typed names, conflicting follow-up records, and the workflow signals that tell you a form is being filled out the wrong way before the data ever reaches a report.
Routine cleaning and maintenance
How to set up a regular cleaning cadence, who should own it, and which CommCare features (Case Search, Bulk Editing, exports) belong in the rotation.
Structuring case data for reliable reporting
Small structural choices, what is a case property vs a form question, when to use parent-child cases, how to model your follow-up workflow, drive the reliability of every report that comes downstream.
