I would add a fifth - permissions. Access to particular functions for particular groups can be configured by changing the permission tables. As far as I know, this can only be done through SQL. There's also the "Edit Custom Text", which I think belongs in the same category as Config Tables, but is implemented as a separate function. Not sure if it's been tidied up for PlanZ, but in Zambia I don't think the survey is integrated into the menu by default, so it's up to cons to edit the header to add a menu entry for it. I think it would make sense to add Survey to Phases, so it could be turned on when needed, and turned when no more survey responses are required. |

Yeah, there's a lot of different configuration things. Streamlining that would be a pretty big project. Regarding Survey in the menu - yes, it is now integrated by default. If USING_SURVEYS is true in the db_name.php, then the menu option appears. |

Oh yes, I did notice that setting! It does strike me as something that would fit well with phases. I'm a fan of giving the programme team the ability to control as much as possible without bothering the IT team. On the other had, if we were going to drop one configuration method, phases would probably be the most obvious choice. |

Drop Phases? And replace it how? I mean, it's technically a configuration table with a special screen, so I doubt that you want to just make it a normal config table. So, how would the staff/admin turn on/off certain functionality? I am more in favor of moving as many items out of the db_name.php file as possible and into a config table to allow better control by the PlanZ staff/admin and not having to rely on an IT person. Survey is one of those and making it a Phase item sounds good to me. |

There are 4 ways of configuring the app:
I feel like that's a lot of complexity, and I'd love to see some streamlining there.
