Drupal CMS

Drupal is content management software. It's used to make many of the websites and applications
you use every day. Drupal has great standard features, like easy content authoring, reliable
performance, and excellent security. But what sets it apart is its flexibility; modularity is one of
its core principles. Its tools help you build the versatile, structured content that dynamic web
experiences need.

It's also a great choice for creating integrated digital frameworks. You can extend it with any
one, or many, of thousands of add-ons. Modules expand Drupal's functionality. Themes let you
customize your content's presentation. Distributions are packaged Drupal bundles you can use as
starter-kits. Mix and match these components to enhance Drupal's core abilities. Or, integrate
Drupal with external services and other applications in your infrastructure. No other content
management software is this powerful and scalable.

Simple or advanced database structures


With the database builder non-technical programme managers, information management officers
and monitoring and evalution officers can create and update the structure of their databases, any
time. This ensures that the platform can evolve just as quickly as the needs of the programme,
without relying on technical consultants.

Design Forms and Subforms to collect the data you need. Link Forms to each other to create
advanced structures and add Subforms within Subforms to create even more advanced structures.
Use Key fields or Serial Numbers to identify unique data.

Invite your team or other partner organizations and assign Roles to them to control their access
and activities. Assign users to other users such as Case Workers to Supervisors or Reporting
partners to Sector leads. Override predefined permissions of selected users and create more
refined permissions and user Roles.

Design surveys
The Form Designer allows you to get up and running quickly without depending on IT staff.
Non-technical staff can quickly define what information needs to be collected from the field and
most importantly, you and your team can easily update your Forms as your programme evolves.
With an easy-to-use interface, you can quickly define both the structure of your data and how the
Form will look to your users reporting from the field. With Reference fields you can link one
Form to another and combine information in many ways.

User Management
Define exactly who has the permission to view or edit your Database, Folders and Forms and
refine the design and user management permissions of colleagues.

Use the available Database templates to quickly start with predefined Roles for monitoring and
evaluation, case management or multi-partner programmes. Create new Roles to meet specific
needs or customize permissions for individuals users.

Create groups of users and assign them to another user, such as Case Workers to Supervisors or
Reporting partners to Sector Leads. Assign specific cases to individual users for your case
management system.

Change the visiility of your Forms from private to public or turn them into reference data.

The system will automatically send invitation emails to the new users you invite to your
Database if they don't have an ActivityInfo account yet and you can select the language in which
they will be invited.

Built-in Geodatabase
The system will provide a common, built-in geographic Database for all countries that includes
all official administrative levels, from Provinces or Governorates or whatever is relevant to your
programmes.

This ensures that all data collected with throughout your organization can always be harmonized
and you can avoid duplicates.

Having a common geographic reference database also ensure that data across your organization
can be effortlessly compared geographically without having to waste time harmonizing between
different spellings or outdated lists.

Save time with simple, centralized data entry


Your staff and partners report results through a simple web-based Form on an ad-hoc or a
repetitive basis. The common structure helps ensure that everyone reports results consistently
and completely and you avoid duplicate effort and harmonizing reports.
Your team will save time on reporting compared to Excel and email-based workflows and you
can make sure that there are no duplicate or outdated entries.

You can sort and filter Records to quickly find what you need and you can export the added
Records if needed.
