Attendance reporting rate

Hi everyone, we are using SEMIS App to track attendance. what I would like to do is monitor if schools are taking attendance. so, formula for that would be number of attendance (present/absent)/No of School days. School days are configured in the SEMIS calendar but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to count them in the program indicator… HELP!!!

Hi @cgitosh

I had to go through some material related to SEMIS :slight_smile: Thanks for your interest in SEMIS and sharing about your use cases in implementing it.

If I understand your question correctly, you’re looking for reporting rates, similar to what’s described in the video below (at URLtime):

And here…

These are not directly created by the SEMIS app; however, when you first configure the SEMIS app, you are selecting metadata that will be used by the app to collect the data. In the same way, you will use the metadata to create the indicators.

Depending on how you configured and created your metadata, you will be able to create the indicators. For instance, what’s a school here (a data element, a TEI, or another metadata?)

Would you like to check the learner’s guide to program indicators? Learner's Guide to Program Indicators - DHIS2 Documentation I think it shows a basic explanation to how to handle the metadata.
