Caretakers
Purpose
The Caretakers data-table holds data for farmers who are subcontracted to work for "master farmers" who are KKFU members. It is a child data-table which links to Farmers.
The Caretakers data-table includes data-fields for data KKFU needs to record such as the date the caretaker started working, the caretaker's gender and the type of tenure they have with the master farmer.
A full listing of all the fields in the data-table with their purposes and any automation built into the App is laid out below. To fully understand the purpose of the data-fields please consult this.
How and where to access Caretakers data
The image below shows the "Caretakers" Edit Form. This is accessed via its own entry in the System Entities screen. Caretakers records are used to link a "Farmers" record together with their caretaker. First add the Farmers record, then add Caretaker records including the Caretaker's name, and the start-date for their employment.
