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.

  1. In the dashboard, go to Settings, under Configuration.
  2. Stay on the General tab.
  3. Find Test workspace is open and turn it off.
  4. Save.

The test workspace then no longer appears when people choose a workspace in the Field App.

Turn the same switch back on when you want staff to use the test workspace - during onboarding or training, for example.

Closing the test workspace changes nothing about real data or normal use.

Keep it closed. Open it deliberately for a training session, and close it again afterwards.
