The CAPI Dashboard is a 'view' which can be selected (if enabled) in the Command Center's main Dashboard. It comprises a number of reports on the state and progress of CAPI (face-to-face) collection operations. It also provides access to tools for managing the transfer of files between the server and interviewer laptops through the File Management button in the upper toolbar, which also provides access to the CAPI Synchronization Logs, which can be useful for tracking cases in detail.
When you first select the CAPI View it defaults to the display by Projects. Radio buttons allows you to switch to the view by Interviewers and vice-versa.
The table on this page provides a summary of project progress broken out by CAPI collection module. The toolbar above the table provides access to Respondent (Case) Synchronization Logs and the Tracking Report (also available in the Reporting tools). The View Interviewers Assignment button will list the interviewers assigned to the CAPI module currently selected in the table.

This table lists the interviewers assigned to the CAPI module currently selected in the Project list.
This table lists case synchronization events for the CAPI collection project currently selected in the Projects list. The filters and columns are mainly self-explanatory. The Status option comprises three states: OK, Error and Warning. The Warning state applies to cases that the system has disregarded due to some logical inconsistency such as a date on the server being greater than the date on the laptop.,These cases should be investigated.
If you double-click on any case in the Case Synchronization History (shown in the above screen-shot), this opens the page detailing the last synchronization session which affected it. As can be seen in the screen-shot below, the session involved more than one project.
The table on this page provides a summary of the progress of each interviewer. The toolbar above the table provides access to Respondent (Case) Synchronization Logs. The View Projects Assignment button will list the projects assigned to the interviewer currently selected in the table.

The CAPI Synchronization logs are accessed from the CAPI Dashboard. The logs are consist of a listing of synchronization sessions made between laptops and the server. The filters above the listing enable you to narrow down the display to show only those in which you are interested. You can generate a CSV file of the listing, and also 'clear' the logs.
