Complaints Management
Table of contents
Background
This document describes the need and scope of a digital platform for health campaigns, explaining the product’s features, specifications, purpose, and functionality. It also provides a descriptive view of the application along with the specification of each element.
Target Audience
This document is intended for the engineering and platform (tech teams), product management, and implementation teams to agree on requirements for the Health Campaign Management Platform (HCM).
Assumptions and Validations
Logging complaints
Not all complaints will be logged using the complaints module. Users may prefer raising complaints on WhatsApp groups/calls, and may not be registered in the system.
Complaints are most likely to be logged by users on behalf of other users (Most common use case: Supervisors raising complaints on behalf of users
Resolving complaints
There is a support helpdesk set up by the programme which will receive all complaints raised by system users.
The support helpdesk must be responsible for reviewing all the complaints in the inbox.
Depending on the complaint, the helpdesk can either resolve, reject or assign the complaint to the respective actor
Helpdesk users may create complaints on the user’s behalf, which are received over call/WhatsApp messages.
Role-Action Mapping
Registrar: Create, view, update and cancel complaints.
Field Supervisor:
a. Create, view, update, and cancel complaints.
b. Resolve complaints, re-assign complaints back to the helpdesk, and reject complaints.
Supervisor:
a. Create, view, update, and cancel complaints.
b. Resolve complaints, re-assign complaints back to the helpdesk, and reject complaints.
Helpdesk user:
a. Create, view, update, and cancel complaints.
b. Resolve complaints, assign complaints, and reject complaints.
Statuses in the Workflow
Submitted (TBD depending on design approach)
Status when a complaint is submitted but hasn’t been received by the helpdesk (to support offline use case).
Pending assignment.
Pending Assignment
Status when the complaint has been received by the helpdesk (in the event of a completely online system), the pending assignment must be the first status in the workflow.
Resolved, rejected, assigned.
Resolved
Status when the complaint has been addressed and closed successfully.
NA
Rejected
Status when the complaint is found to be invalid and rejected.
NA
Assigned To < >
Status when the complaint is assigned by the helpdesk to other roles in the workflow.
Resolved, Rejected. The possible status will depend on the workflow configured during implementation.
Cancelled
Status, when the user decided to delete the complaint, created.
NA
Process Flow
Solution
Complaints: For mobile users
Creating a new complaint:
Any campaign staff (with access to the complaints module) must be able to create a complaint using the mobile app for themselves or on behalf of other users.
Users can only create complaints for users in the same boundary hierarchy.
2. Viewing “My Complaints”:
Users must be able to view the complaints created by themselves in the mobile app and the web portal.
Users must be able to filter, sort, and search complaints.
Helpdesk view: (Web app and mobile responsive app)
All complaints raised by any system user in the system must first be routed to the helpdesk.
Helpdesk user must be able to filter, sort, and search complaints.
The helpdesk user must review all complaints received in the helpdesk’s inbox and perform one of the following actions:
Resolve: For complaints that can be resolved by the L1 support helpdesk, the helpdesk user must be able to view the details mentioned in the complaints, mark them as 'Resolved' and add resolution details.
Reject: If the helpdesk user determines a complaint to be false, irrelevant, or invalid, the user must be able to mark the complaint as 'Rejected' and give proper justification for rejecting the complaint.
Assign: For complaints that cannot be resolved by the L1 support helpdesk, the helpdesk user must be able to select the appropriate role and assign the complaint. Once the helpdesk user assigns a complaint, the status must be shown as 'Assigned.'
a. Workflow to be set up during implementation.
b. The core product would offer the following workflow: Create→ Submitted to L1 Helpdesk→ Assign to L2 support.
c. The workflow must be configurable to support additions of more workflow states: (For example, assign to programme managers, supervisors, etc).
4. Helpdesk users must be able to create new complaints. The new complaint created must be visible in the helpdesk user’s inbox to take action on. (Use case: Helpdesk user receives a complaint over call and creates a complaint in the system for tracking on the user’s behalf).
5. Report generation: (Good to have for v1 since already covered in the dashboard)
a. Helpdesk performance report: Report generated on the following parameters:
1. Time range
2. Status of the complaints
3. Username

HCM Home screen
After logging into the application, the user lands on this screen which displays daily performance (number of households registered). The progress bar must reset daily at 00:00 hours and start from 0 registrations. The action buttons related to the beneficiary are present, which include:

Call supervisor
Complaints
At the bottom, there is a card that shows how many records are unsynced for the user’s convenience to sync data. The help button is on every screen of the application. By clicking on it, a user can get the walkthrough of the elements on that screen.
On the top right, the administrative area assigned to the user is displayed, which will be based on the level of hierarchy. The hamburger button on the top left corner covers some other actions mentioned further.

Complaint Details
Once the user has selected the type of complaint and clicked on ‘Next’, this screen appears, where they need to provide the complaint details.

The administrative area is also auto-captured but it is editable. It is editable in case the user is creating the complaint on someone’s behalf. The dropdown displays a list of boundaries that are assigned to the user.
The user needs to select whether she is raising a complaint for herself or on behalf of another user.
If the user wants to raise a complaint for herself, then she must provide the following details:
Name (must be populated if already available in the user’s profile else must be blank).
Contact number (must be populated if already available in the user’s profile else must be blank).
Supervisor’s name and contact number.
If the complaint is raised on behalf of another user, then her details must be captured in the above fields. The user has the option to upload images describing the issue along with a text-based description. If the user wants to change the type of complaint, they can click on the ‘Back’ button and return to the previous screen.
After filling in all the details, the user needs to click on the ‘Submit’ button to file the complaint.
Confirmation Screen
When the user clicks on the submit button after providing all the complaint details, the confirmation screen appears, which provides information on whether the complaint has been submitted or not.
If the complaint has been submitted, then it must show the message to sync the data for generating the complaint number. There must be a back to home button below the message. When the user clicks on it, she must be navigated to the home screen.
If the complaint has not been submitted, then there must be two buttons available; Retry and Back to Home.
