 General Guidelines
A. Assigning Logins on the Dashboard:
The database containing all the field investigators' and Junior Medical Officers' information
will be uploaded onto the dashboard beforehand. The state coordinators are required to Assign
each of them the respective survey schedules they are accountable for in each PSU. For
instance, Investigator A, accountable for the HH and IYCF surveys, needs to be assigned to
these two respective schedules in PSU X or Y, or both.

B. Accessing schedules on the tab

Once the assignment procedure is completed, investigators will be able to access the assigned
schedules on the tab. Each field investigator, Junior Medical Officer, and lab technician specific
to each state is given a five-digit unique code (investigator’s id). They will obtain these codes
from their respective state coordinators. The investigator's code will serve as the login
credentials to access all the survey schedules on the tab.

Quick overview of APP-based Survey procedure

In each PSU, there are nine schedules to be surveyed: one Enumeration schedule, one Household
schedule, and seven Individual schedules [IYCF, KAP, FIES, Anthro, Biomarker, 24H-recall,
and TDS].
Step 1: Mobile Application on the tab
Begin the survey by entering details into the enumeration schedule within the tab using the
provided credentials.
Step 2: Dashboard
After completing the enumeration for all selected households (HHs) in a PSU, access the
Dashboard portal to generate a sample of 30HHs based on systematic random sampling.
Simultaneously, samples for a repeat diet may also be generated as well.
Step 3: Mobile Application [Household Survey]
Once the 30 sampled HHs are generated, access the HH schedules in the tab using the provided
login details and fill in all the required information.
Step 4: Individual Surveys
Once one HH is filled up and submitted, the HH members' information such as name, age, sex,
etc., will automatically populate in each individual schedule (IYCF, KAP, Anthro, Biomarker,
24H-recall, FIES, etc) for that particular HH. These individual schedules will now be accessible
for the survey using the provided credentials. Begin the individual survey.
Step 5: repeat diet survey (2nd and 3rd recall)
Once the 1st recall is finished, access the repeat 24-H diet schedule through provided login
credentials and conduct the survey for the 2nd and 3rd recalls.
