Why this helps
Weather response categories and reference details can be scattered across documents, making consistent field coordination harder.
- Create a structured reference for program-defined response information.
- Reduce searching across separate guidance documents.
- Keep the table's contents tied to details your team provides.

- 1Connect AccuWeather and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create a CommCare lookup table using the response categories and reference details your program supplies.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with the approved reference data and review the created table.
