Good afternoon All

Hope everyone had a restful holiday. Kindly I wanted to know how to set up custom data entry frequency for a particular dataset in DHIS2. Say for example I want to set the frequency in Epi weeks i.e. week beginning on Monday and ending on Sunday.

Hi Zara,

The only weeks which are currently supported are ISO weeks. These differ from “EpiWeeks” I think since ISO weeks always begin on a Monday and I think EpiWeeks begin on a Sunday.

You can have a look in /dhis2/dhis-2/dhis-api/src/main/java/org/hisp/dhis/period/WeeklyPeriodType.java to see how this one is done. It should not be so difficult to create another one for EpiWeeks, if there is a standard algorithm for generating them. It seems there are a few different definitions of how they are calculated. Is there a definitive reference of how to generate EpiWeeks somewhere?

Regards,

Jason
