Classification tag on Indicators - 2.22

Dapsyjorge · 27 January 2016 21:27

Hi Devs,
Looks like use of indicator group sets as data dimensions in analytics is still not supported - How and where can the new classification tag (Input,Activity,Output,Impact) on indicators in 2.22 be accessed in the analysis apps?.
Thanks

Hi Dapo,

unfortunately we do not have this on the immediate roadmap. It is a bit more complicated than it sounds. Indicator values are calculated on the fly based on data (element) values. So if an indicator is classified, and its expression several data elements which are not classified in any group sets, how do you make a meaningful aggregated indicator value?

What you can to currently (altough not ideal) is to classify the data elements which are part of the indicators in group sets, and use those group set dimensions in combination with the indicators.

Perhaps if you could provide some detail about your use-case we could start thinking around it.

regards,

Lars

Thanks Lars,

I understand the complexity of implementing this as explained. Using DE group sets is an option but not very neat - the ideal will be to use a form of Indicator groupsets or tag the indicators with custom attributes as an option set and be able to pull that into analytics.

Interestingly , there is a similar discussion on a thread talking about analysis along the lines of M&E Logical Frameworks (for agriculture) - that is precisely the use case here! I think it will be very useful for analysis and data use if this indicator groups or attributes can be used as data dimension analytics rather than possibly resulting to complex scripting in custom reports. Hopefully that will be possible in the near future!
