Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Suite on my computer?
Log in at rflgd.org/rfld-suite/, download the Windows, macOS or Linux edition, unzip it, then run INSTALL.bat (Windows), "Install on this Mac" (macOS) or install-linux.sh (Linux). An RFLD Suite icon then appears on the desktop. No administrator rights are needed. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
Can I use the Suite without installing it?
Yes. Open suite.rflgd.org in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. To work online as a team, each member signs in with their email, password and authenticator app code. The installed edition is still recommended to work without internet. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
I forgot my PIN, what do I do?
The PIN of the installed edition cannot be recovered by RFLD. If someone else in the organization knows the admin PIN, they can change it in the home screen settings. Otherwise, reinstall the Suite and restore your latest full backup. This is why the Friday backup matters. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
How do I back up and restore?
On the home screen, click "Full backup": a file with all departments' data is downloaded. Keep it on a USB stick or a separate drive. To restore, use "Restore a backup" on the home screen and pick that file. Do it every Friday. ▶ 11 · Tools, reports and backups
How do I move to another computer?
Make a full backup on the old computer, install the Suite on the new one, then restore the backup. In online team mode, simply sign in at suite.rflgd.org: the data is on the server, encrypted. ▶ 11 · Tools, reports and backups
How do I give my colleagues access?
In online mode, the admin opens "My team", invites each colleague by email and chooses their role (admin, editor or viewer) and departments. The person receives a link, creates a password, sets up the authenticator app and their passphrase. The admin then clicks "Give access". ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
How does the 6-digit code work?
Install Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator on your phone, scan the QR code shown at first sign-in, then enter the 6-digit code each time you sign in. Keep your 8 backup codes somewhere safe: they help if you change phones. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
I lost the phone with my authenticator
Sign in with one of your backup codes instead of the 6-digit code, then set up the authenticator on your new phone. If you have no backup codes left, write to programs@rflgd.org from your account email address. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
I forgot my passphrase
RFLD cannot recover it, because your data is encrypted and RFLD has no access to it. An admin of your organization can give you access again, or import the recovery kit printed when the vault was created. Without a passphrase or recovery kit, the data cannot be recovered. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
Can RFLD see our data?
No. In the installed edition, data stays on your computer. In online mode, it is encrypted in your browser before being sent, with keys RFLD does not hold. RFLD only receives your organization's registration form. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
Is the Suite free?
Yes. RFLD offers it free of charge to registered organizations, with twelve months of remote support, no subscription and no hidden fees. ▶ 00 · Installing the Suite, signing in and reading the home screen
How do I track a grant and its expenses?
In Finance & Grants, create the grant (donor, amount, dates, budget lines), then record each expense against a line. The dashboard shows the burn rate and the reports due. Video 01 shows every screen. ▶ 01 · Finance & Grants
How do I create a project and its activities?
In Programs, create the project, add the work plan, indicators and beneficiaries, then record activities and events as they happen. Video 02 explains each form. ▶ 02 · Programs
How do I use Monitoring & Evaluation?

How do I manage staff and leave?
In HR & Administration, create each person's file, add their contract, then record leave requests and reviews. Home screen alerts flag contracts that are ending. See video 04. ▶ 04 · HR & Administration
How do I record a GBV case confidentially?
The Gender Department is encrypted. Only authorized people can access it. Record only what is needed, with the person's consent, and use a code instead of their name. Video 05 is for the Gender focal point. ▶ 05 · Gender Department (confidential)
How do I handle a safeguarding complaint?
In Safeguarding & Complaints, a confidential encrypted register, record the complaint, protection measures and follow-up until closure. Limit access to the Safeguarding focal point. See video 06. ▶ 06 · Safeguarding & Complaints (confidential)

I deleted something by mistake

A conflict message appears, what do I do?
