​
Overview

The Configuration page provides centralized management for collection centers, team members, and application settings. This is where you set up the organizational structure that supports your daily operations.

​
Active Collection Center

The most important setting is the active collection center, which determines:
  • Which data is displayed throughout the application
  • Which center receives new tickets
  • Which team members appear in dropdowns
  • Which vehicles are available for selection
  • Which generators are shown in lists

​
Viewing Active Center

On the Configuration page, you’ll see a read-only display of the currently active collection center:
  • Center name: The display name of the active center
  • Address: Full street address
  • City and State: Location information
The active center display is read-only on the Configuration page. To change the active center, navigate to the Dashboard where you’ll find a dropdown to select a different center.

​
Changing Active Center

To switch to a different collection center:
  1. Navigate to the Dashboard view
  2. Locate the active center dropdown selector
  3. Choose your desired center from the list
  4. The application will reload data for the newly selected center
Changing the active center immediately affects all data views throughout the application. Make sure you’re ready to switch contexts before changing centers.

​
System Configuration

The Configuration page is organized into several sections:

​
Collection Centers Management

This section allows you to:
  • Create new collection centers with full location details
  • Edit existing center information (name, state, city, address)
  • Delete centers that are no longer needed
  • View all centers in a sortable table
Fields for Collection Centers:
  • Nombre (Name): Required - Display name for the center
  • Estado (State): The state or province location
  • Ciudad (City): City where the center operates
  • Dirección (Address): Complete street address

​
Team Members Management

Accessed via the “Gestionar Miembros (Modal)” button:
  • Add team members to the active collection center
  • Edit member information (name, ID, phone, role)
  • Remove members who have left
  • View complete roster for the active center
Fields for Team Members:
  • Nombre completo (Full name): Required - Member’s complete name
  • Cédula (ID number): Optional national identification
  • Teléfono (Phone): Contact phone number
  • Rol (Role): Job title (defaults to “Recolector”)

​
Application Preferences

The application automatically manages several settings:

​
Data Scope

All data is automatically scoped to the active collection center:
  • Tickets list shows only tickets for the active center
  • Dashboard metrics calculate based on the active center
  • Generators are filtered to those assigned to the active center
  • Vehicles list shows only the active center’s fleet

​
First-Time Setup

1

Create your first center

Add a collection center with complete location information in the Configuration page.
2

Activate the center

Go to the Dashboard and select your new center as the active center.
3

Add team members

Return to Configuration and add staff members who will use the system.
4

Begin operations

Start adding generators, vehicles, and creating tickets.

​
Data Management

​
Data Isolation

The application maintains strict data isolation between centers:
  • Each center’s data is completely separate
  • Generators belong to specific centers
  • Tickets are linked to the center where they were created
  • Team members are assigned to individual centers
  • Vehicle fleets are center-specific

​
Data Migration

If you’re the first center being created, the system will automatically migrate any existing legacy data (generators, vehicles, tickets without a center assignment) to the new center.

​
Destructive Actions

Deleting a Collection CenterDeleting a collection center permanently removes:
  • All generators assigned to that center
  • All tickets created at that center
  • All team members for that center
  • All vehicles assigned to that center
This action cannot be undone. Export your data before deletion if you need to preserve records.
Deleting Team MembersDeleting a team member removes them from the roster but doesn’t affect historical ticket records where they were assigned as the collector. Use this carefully to maintain data integrity.

​
Configuration Workflow

A typical configuration workflow:
  1. Initial Setup
    • Create collection centers for each physical location
    • Set one as the active center in Dashboard
    • Add team members for the active center
  2. Daily Operations
    • Switch active center in Dashboard as needed
    • Work with data specific to the active center
    • Add new team members when staff joins
  3. Maintenance
    • Update center information if locations change
    • Edit team member details to keep records current
    • Remove inactive members to keep lists clean

​
Troubleshooting

​
”No active center configured” error

If you see this error:
  1. You need to create a collection center first
  2. Then activate it from the Dashboard
  3. Return to the feature that showed the error

​
Can’t add team members

If the “Gestionar Miembros” button shows an alert:
  1. Check that you have an active center set
  2. Navigate to Dashboard to select a center
  3. Return to Configuration to add members

​
Wrong data showing

If you’re seeing unexpected data:
  1. Check which center is currently active
  2. Switch to the correct center from the Dashboard
  3. Data is scoped per center, so ensure you’re in the right context
