FAQs
Can the platform be used for any program or mission?
Yes, the platform is designed for use across domains, sectors, projects, regions or organizations. We call it a context-invariant design, and you can configure the way you use the platform to mirror the needs of your program.
Can I create custom reports and dashboards?
Yes! The platform provides a set of default reports and charts. In addition to that,, all relevant data residing in PDA is available (via a CSV file download or through an API) for programs to generate custom reports and dashboards using any third-party tools – outside the platform.
If you would like to work with our in-house data team to build custom reports and dashboards for your program, please Get in touch
Can participants retain content even after they exit a program?
Participants will be able to retain both their attestations as well as access to the training content for the sessions they attended, even after they exit a program/after a program has concluded, as long as they are active on the PDA platform (see below) – unless they delete their account (after which such data can not be accessed).
However, if the participant is not active for a period of 12 months in any participating program on the PDA platform, the participant may not be able to access the content associated with their attestations, but any attestations stored on their mobile device will continue to be accessible through the Participant app, as long as the user does not delete the app/delete their account.
Can we publish our data on our website?
Yes, data that is generated from your program on the PDA platform can be made accessible on your website through our Open Data Widget. Please get in touch with us for further details on this offering.
What happens to the data if we (the program) cancel our subscription, or if our subscription lapses?
If you (contracting entity) cancel your subscription, your program administrators will no longer be able to access the PDA Program Administration Portal and perform any actions (creating Topics, adding content, scheduling sessions,downloading data etc). However, If you renew your subscription, you (program administration staff) will get access to the portal and to the existing data of your program. You are only required to maintain a minimum number of licenses in order to maintain program administrator access.(Contact us to learn more)
We recommend that you download any data that you would like to store offline for future use before your subscription expires – please refer to terms of use to ensure you understand your obligations related to handling and use of such data.
