Hi Abyot, We have a similar request from some Android Tracker projects. Will it be possible with the name searching to send only a list of villages within a certain catchment area to a device - so you dont have a list of all villages in a country loading on to a single device.
I also understand that there is a discussion on an org unit data type. Any chance this could also be a solution. In terms of an option set, will you develop the logic to reduce the options to only those villages which a user is responsible for, let say within the catchment area of a certain clinic?
