Key points from the video
Context
Whether your job is to enter data or review it, the same DevResults pages and tools apply. This video covers how to enter indicator results for "direct entry" indicators (i.e. numerical results) or to enter data table records (e.g. updating training logs, attendance sheets, hospital registers, etc.). You might have only one of these indicator types. Then, learn how to enter narrative responses for the reporting period and how to submit or approve data.
