In preparing a revision workshop, I stumbled upon Management Constants in the administration menu … I wanted to know if it can be used for what? I want to have a use case!

Hi Riddy,
the constants can be used inside indicator and validation rule expressions to make them more maintainable.
One use-case: In ARV stock management, one recons that a quantity of drugs ordered will cover 4 persons. This value is used in hundreds of indicators but is likely to change some time in the future. In order to keep this maintainable and be able to change this in one place in the system, one creates a constant “Persons per quantity” = 4 and insert that constant into the indicators.
regards,
Lars
