The Field App test workspace
Each organisation has two Field App workspaces: the main one, holding real data, and a test one for training.
The failure mode this page prevents: a field officer picks the wrong workspace and a day of real collections lands somewhere that isn’t your supply base. If the test workspace is still open, the Field App shows a warning on the workspace picker before you continue.
Close it
Section titled “Close it”- In the dashboard, go to Settings, under Configuration.
- Stay on the General tab.
- Find Test workspace is open and turn it off.
- Save.
The test workspace then no longer appears when people choose a workspace in the Field App.
Open it again
Section titled “Open it again”Turn the same switch back on when you want staff to use the test workspace - during onboarding or training, for example.
The main workspace is not affected
Section titled “The main workspace is not affected”Closing the test workspace changes nothing about real data or normal use.
A reasonable default
Section titled “A reasonable default”Keep it closed. Open it deliberately for a training session, and close it again afterwards.
