 Inevitably, as users become more familiar and experienced with the system they will also start to require ''more'' of the system - improvements to existing features, or completely new features.  We expect this, welcome it and have developed iSIKHNAS so that it can grow and change to meet these changing needs and priorities. iSIKHNAS will be able to adapt to users long into the future.
 Even during the system development phase, the Champions and others involved in development were constantly being asked for new features and capabilities to be added.  We are sure that these requests will only become more numerous as the number of users increases.  It is important that we have a system or process for dealing with these requests fairly and efficiently.  This module will help staff to prepare a brief application using standard format which will help the system developers to start to consider the motivation for the changes, the implications to the system and its users,and the follow on effect to other features (including training and documentation).  This module will help everyone wanting changes or requests to do a little bit of helpful background work and preparation '''''before''''' they ask for a new feature.
 Any user can suggest improvements or new features however the best way to do this initially is through the coordinator support structure.  Dinas staff wanting to ask for changes should suggest these to their Kabupaten Coordinator.  Coordinators are in the best position to apply for these changes because they understand the system more deeply.

 This kind of change will require many changes throughout the system: new SMS messages, new database tables, additional documentation, training materials and data standards.  It will take a longer time to plan, design and implement this kind of change and will need to be well justified.  These kinds of changes require higher level expertise in system administration and design.

 '''New way to collect data'''

 ** Adding a local synonym for a particular sign or disease.

 * Example:

 ** Change a translation or expression
 '''Add new entries to the standards lists'''
 * Example:
 ** Additional species, diseases, signs, drugs, treatments.
 These kinds of changes can usually be made quickly and without high level expertise or consultation.  Only the Champions are permitted to make these sorts of changes.

 Your constructive suggestions and feedback are welcomed at all times.  Don't hesitate to pass on any idea, no matter how small it seems.  We are keen to know about any idea that will help you and improve the way you work!
