Example campaign setup

Using an example of an agency wanting to give out food packs and vouchers to residents, we will show you how to setup a campaign.

Step 1: What should we call your campaign?

Keep your campaign name under 30 characters.

Go to https://admin.distribute.gov.sg to login to the DistributeSG Admin Portal.

Step 2: Do I have a list of recipients?

If you select YES, distributors using the mobile app will be able to see if recipients are eligible.

Cover

Yes

This means that you will be giving out food packs only to eligible residents. You will also need to have this list of eligible people before the actual distribution takes place.

Cover

No

Anyone who comes to the collection point can receive the food pack. You do not know specifically who will be coming to collect before the actual day of the campaign.

Step 3: How do I identify a recipient?

This will be how you uniquely identify an individual when he/she comes to collect the item. In addition to choosing NRIC or Address, you may also choose Unique Identifier which can support voucher numbers, ticket numbers and handphone numbers.

When a recipient comes to the collection point, they will need to give their NRIC number to the staff at the collection point.

Step 4: Where are the locations for your distributions?

Locations are places where your distributions will occur.

If you selected NRIC, Address or Unique Identifier in your previous step, it likely means that recipients will be coming to a collection point to collect these items.

Hence, the locations you input here will be the various collection points. For example, the different Community Centres recipients can collect the food pack.

More locations can be uploaded once the campaign is created.

Step 5: What items are you distributing?

Use short recognisable names for your items. Items cannot be edited after each campaign is created.

In this example, we will be giving residents one food pack and one voucher. Single quantities of each item.

Each item is listed separately and the toggle for multiple quantities is not selected.

Step 6: Confirm to create your campaign

Click to create your campaign, thereafter you will be able to start adding your allocations.

Step 7: Upload allocations (i.e. "who is eligible to collect the food pack and vouchers")

Select the right tab below based on what you chose in Step 3: How do I identify a recipient.

If you had selected NRIC in Step 3: How do I identify a recipient, you will need to upload a list of NRIC numbers which are eligible to collect the Food Pack and Voucher.

Download the CSV template and fill up the allocations as shown below.

If multiple quantity was selected in Step 5: What items are you distributing, fill up the quantity that each person is entitled to respectively.

Additional information about the items (metadata) can be added as a new column. For example if we need to ensure that the ID of each voucher is tagged to an individual, we will add a metadata column of Voucher ID. All metadata will show up in the DistributeSG mobile app for distributors.

Upload this file and allocations will be automatically populated.

Step 8: Manage your distributors

Distributors can join a campaign location by using a shared location code or through bulk upload of their mobile numbers by campaign administrators.

This method is used if campaign organisers do not know the mobile numbers of distributors before the campaign date.

Campaign organisers will need to share the location code which can be found in the Locations tab with distributors.

Distributors will then need to key in this location code in their mobile app to join the campaign.

Step 9: Make your campaign active

Activate the campaign to enable distributions.

Step 10: Start giving out items from the DistributeSG mobile app

Download the DistributeSG mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

If you had selected NRIC in Step 3: How do I identify a recipient, distributors will be able to scan an NRIC barcode or manually key in a recipient's NRIC number.

The app will show if a recipient is eligible.

The distributor may add optional remarks or pictures.

The distributor clicks Distribute and gives the items out.
