Accessing The GTS Admin Console

When you sign in, the GTS opens on the Tracking Round selection page (Map Wizard). The Administration Console is where focal points configure their Organization, Field Activities and Tracking Rounds.

To open the Administration Console:

  1. Click the Menu button (three lines) next to your user name, in the top-right corner of the GTS banner.

  2. Click Admin.

The Admin entry is only shown to dashboard accounts that can change something in at least one Organization. With the default roles, these are the Organization Focal Point and the Field Activity Focal Point. Accounts that only have the Member, Data Analyst or Logistics Support roles do not see it (see Dashboard User Roles). The tabs and buttons available in the console depend on the role.

In the console, the same menu offers Map to go back to the Tracking Round selection page.

Tip

From the map of a Tracking Round, click the gear icon next to the Tracking Round name (Open Tracking Round Administration) to open the administration of that Tracking Round directly. The Tracking Round selection page shows the same gear icon on each row.

The Administration Console has four levels: GTS, Organization, Field Activity and Tracking Round. Each level has several tabs; Logistic Support (phone preparation tools) is a tab of the Tracking Round level.

Some tabs are only shown when they apply: for example Team Codes only when the Field Activity uses team codes, and the Base Layers, Targeted Areas, Geocoverage Indicators, Field Staff, Teams Deployment and Microplan tabs are not shown for the default “All tracking data” Tracking Round.

The GTS level is only shown to accounts that belong to several Organizations; otherwise the console opens directly at the Organization level and the breadcrumb starts with the Organization name.
