SORMAS by default splits infrastructure data into four mandatory categories. Starting from the highest administrative division, these are Regions, Districts, Communities, and Health Facilities. In addition, Points of Entry represent places like harbors and airports where people are frequently entering the country, while Laboratories are technically health facilities that are specifically used for sample testing purposes. The Area infrastructure type can be enabled in the feature configuration and adds another optional layer of infrastructure above Regions. Finally, it is possible to add Countries, Subcontinents and Continents to your system if you also want to collect data from outside the country SORMAS is used in (e.g. because you want to record travels or events).

Importing Infrastructure

To import your data for one of the administrative divisions, log in as the default admin user (which is created even when createDefaultEntities is disabled) and open the Configuration menu. Open any of the tabs for the infrastructure data you want to import and click on the Import button on the top right. You can download an import guide from within the popup window that will be opened, containing detailed instructions about the import process and the steps you need to go through in order to successfully import your data.
