Moderator Getting Started
moderator

Welcome, Moderator

You oversee one or more zones during Project AMRIT events. Your Admin has assigned you specific states, zones, and permissions — you can only see and manage sites within those areas.

Quick-start checklist

  1. 1Log in with your phone number and PIN. If you haven’t received your PIN, ask your Admin.
  2. 2Open the Moderator Dashboard to review sites and volunteers for your zone.
  3. 3Navigate to the Edition Workspace for the current event. Select the edition with ‘Planned’ or ‘Live’ status.
  4. 4Review the sites list under the Coverage tab. Confirm site details are correct for your zones.
  5. 5On event day, use Submit Data to enter site reports as they come in from the field.
  6. 6If you have View Reports permission, open the Control Center to monitor real-time progress.

Your permissions

PermissionWhat it allows
Add SitesSubmit new site entries within your assigned zones
Edit SitesModify existing site records in your zones
Bulk ImportUpload CSV files to add sites in bulk (typically for senior moderators)
View ReportsAccess the Control Center, analytics, and CSV export

Event day essentials

  1. 1Confirm site coordinators are present at their locations with volunteer headcounts ready.
  2. 2Enter data via Submit Data as coordinators phone in their reports.
  3. 3Check the Control Center periodically to track your zone’s progress.
  4. 4Escalate any site issues (coordinator unreachable, safety concerns) to your Admin immediately.

If a feature is greyed out or you see a ‘Forbidden’ error, your Admin has not granted you that permission. Contact them to request access.

Coordinator Getting Started
coordinator

Welcome, Coordinator

Thank you for joining Project AMRIT! Your role is to participate in water body cleanup drives and log your site data through the dashboard.

Getting started

  1. 1Your Admin or Moderator will create your account with a phone number and PIN.
  2. 2Log in with your 10-digit phone number (without +91) and PIN.
  3. 3You’ll land on the Coordinator Dashboard with your recent submissions and stats.
  4. 4To submit data, navigate to the event workspace and click Submit Data.
  5. 5Select your zone, state, city, branch, and site from the dropdowns, then enter volunteer count and other details.
  6. 6Click Submit. Your data appears in the Control Center in real time.

If you’re at a site with poor network, note down the data on paper and submit it once you have a stable connection.

Keep your PIN confidential. If you suspect someone has used your account, inform your Admin immediately for a PIN reset.

How to Log In

Edition Hub
adminmoderatorcoordinator

What are Editions?

Each yearly occurrence of an event is an Edition (e.g., ‘Project AMRIT 2025’ and ‘Project AMRIT 2026’). Editions let you track sites and volunteers independently while reusing shared data like zones and cities.

Edition statuses

StatusMeaningWhat you can do
DraftBeing set upImport sites, configure targets, edit freely
PlannedConfirmed, countdown shownFinal site adjustments, moderators review sites
LiveEvent is happening nowSubmit data, Control Center active, ticker scrolls
CompletedEvent finishedData locked, achievement banner, export available
CancelledCalled offData preserved but inactive

Navigating to an edition

  1. 1Go to the Events page and click on an edition card to enter its workspace.
  2. 2All workspace pages (Overview, Submit, Coverage, Monitor) are scoped to the selected edition.
  3. 3If the event has multiple editions, use the edition selector to switch between them.

Completed or Cancelled editions become read-only. You can view and export data but cannot submit or edit.

Submit Site Data
adminmoderatorcoordinator

Submitting site data

The Submit Data form uses cascading dropdowns that narrow your choices step by step: Zone → State → City → Branch → Site. This prevents mismatched data across hundreds of sites.

How to submit

  1. 1Open Submit Data from the edition workspace.
  2. 2Select a Zone. This filters the states available.
  3. 3Select State → City → Branch → Site (each filters the next).
  4. 4Enter volunteer count, water body type, area cleaned, coordinator name, and coordinator mobile.
  5. 5Add optional notes for any observations or issues.
  6. 6Click Submit.

Key fields

FieldRequiredNotes
Zone / State / City / Branch / SiteYesCascading dropdowns — each filters the next
Volunteer CountYesTotal volunteers at this site
Water Body TypeNoRiver, Lake, Pond, Canal, etc.
Area Cleaned (sq.m.)NoApproximate area in square metres
Coordinator Name / MobileNoOn-site location coordinator details
NotesNoFree-text observations or issues

If your site doesn’t appear in the dropdown, verify you selected the correct zone, state, city, and branch. If it’s genuinely missing, ask your Admin to add it.

Submissions cannot be edited by coordinators after saving. Contact your Moderator or Admin for corrections.

Admin: Create an Edition
admin

Creating a new edition

An edition represents one occurrence of an event (e.g., ‘Project AMRIT 2026’). Only Admins can create editions. The parent event must exist first.

Steps

  1. 1Go to Events and find the parent event.
  2. 2Click Create Edition.
  3. 3Set the edition name, year, and event date.
  4. 4Choose scope: National or State (select specific states).
  5. 5Enter target locations and target volunteers — these power the progress rings.
  6. 6Optionally set a ticker message for the live dashboard.
  7. 7Click Create. The edition starts in Draft status.

Key fields

FieldRequiredNotes
NameYese.g., Project AMRIT 2026
YearYesMust be unique per event
Event DateNoPowers the countdown timer
ScopeYesNational or specific states
Target LocationsNoSite registration goal
Target VolunteersNoVolunteer goal
Ticker MessageNoScrolling text on the live dashboard

Set realistic targets — they drive the progress indicators that motivate teams on event day. Targets can be updated in Draft or Planned status.

Each event can only have one edition per year.

Admin: Bulk Import Sites
admin

Bulk importing sites from CSV

Upload hundreds of sites at once via CSV. The import runs a 3-phase process: zones → Khetriya Sanchalaks → sites.

Preparing your CSV

  1. 1Download the sample template from the import page.
  2. 2Fill in one row per site: zone_no, zone_name, state, branch_city, site_location (required). Add optional fields like water_body, volunteer_count, coordinator info.
  3. 3Remove empty rows and trailing commas.
  4. 4Save as CSV with UTF-8 encoding.

Running the import

  1. 1Navigate to the Import page within the edition workspace.
  2. 2Verify the correct edition is selected.
  3. 3Upload your CSV file and review the row count.
  4. 4Click Import. A progress indicator shows each phase.
  5. 5Review the completion summary: zones upserted, KS upserted, sites imported, and any errors.

For large imports (1,000+ sites), the process may take 15–30 seconds. Don’t close the tab.

Imports are not reversible. Duplicate sites (same site_location + branch_city in the same edition) are skipped, not overwritten. Always verify your CSV and edition selection before clicking Import.

Admin: User Management
admin

Managing users

Create, edit, and deactivate user accounts from the User Management page. Each user has a unique phone number as their login identifier.

Adding a user

  1. 1Click Add User.
  2. 2Enter full name, 10-digit phone number, and a numeric PIN (4–6 digits).
  3. 3Select a role: Admin, Moderator, or Coordinator.
  4. 4Optionally assign a zone (important for moderators and coordinators).
  5. 5Click Save. The user can log in immediately.

Common tasks

TaskHow
Edit a userClick Edit, change fields, click Save. Changes apply immediately.
Reset a PINEdit the user, enter a new PIN, Save. Communicate the new PIN securely.
DeactivateEdit the user, toggle Active off. They’ll see ‘Account is inactive’ on login. Data is preserved.

When promoting a coordinator to moderator, change their role here first, then go to Moderator Mapping to assign zones and permissions.

Changing a user’s phone number changes their login credential. Make sure they know.

Admin: Moderator Mapping
admin

Assigning moderators to zones

Assign users with the Moderator role to specific states, zones, and branches, and control their permissions with four toggles.

Creating a mapping

  1. 1Click Add Moderator and select a user (only unmapped moderators appear).
  2. 2Check the states this moderator should cover.
  3. 3Select specific zones within those states.
  4. 4Select branches within the scope.
  5. 5Toggle the four permissions: Add Sites, Bulk Import, Edit Sites, View Reports.
  6. 6Click Add Moderator to save.

Permissions

PermissionDefaultWhat it allows

A user must have the ‘moderator’ role before they can be mapped. Change their role in User Management first.

Admin: Edition Lifecycle
admin

Managing the lifecycle

Every edition progresses through statuses that control what actions are available: Draft → Planned → Live → Completed.

Status transitions

  3. 3Planned → Live: Opens data submission, activates Control Center and live dashboard.
  4. 4Live → Completed: Locks all data, displays achievement banner. Export still available.
  5. 5Cancelled: Can be set from any pre-completed status. Data preserved but edition is inactive.

How to change status

Go to Events, find the edition, click Edit, change the Status dropdown, and Save. The change takes effect immediately.
