Dear DHIS2 Community,

We are excited to announce the release of Dashboard app version 100.4. This update introduces several user experience improvements and exciting new functionality.

Dashboard v100.4.0 Release notes:

Updated Dashboard app design with improved user experience | Jira

  • Streamlined dashboard bar: We’ve moved to a single, fixed dashboard bar, freeing up valuable vertical space and ensuring it remains accessible as you scroll.
  • Efficient dashboard menu: The list of available dashboards is now located in the left-hand menu, providing a faster and more intuitive way to search for dashboards.
  • Enhanced dashboard grid: The grid now has a more modern look and makes better use of the available space.

Dashboard slideshow: | Jira | Docs

The dashboard can be displayed in a slideshow by clicking on the Slideshow button. When you enter the slideshow, you’ll find navigation buttons and an exit button in a navigation bar at the bottom of the page. You can also navigate with the forward and back arrow keys on the keyboard, and exit the slideshow with the esc key. Any filters that are applied will be displayed in the navigation bar. Note that messages and spacer items are not displayed in the slideshow.

The dashboard grid and slideshow are excellent additional features, particularly the slideshow, which enhances live presentations on the DHIS2 dashboard. It would be beneficial to incorporate a timed auto-slide function for seamless display on external smart screens. Would you happen to know of any applications that support displaying a DHIS2 dashboard on an external smart display, such as a SMART TV?

Thank you in advance for your insights

Hi @Solomon_Kassahun

Welcome to the community! Thank you for your nice comments, and this is indeed a nice feature. Are you displaying DHIS2 dashboards in slideshows? Sharing about the experience Implementation - Implémentation would be helpful promoting this, and you’re welcome to create a feature request here.

There’s been a similar topic about this… before @Scott suggested using an app that’s dedicated to this, you can check it out: DHIS2 Visualizations on Samsung/Sony Smart TV - #2 by Scott

I also wrote a script as a workaround, if you’d like to ‘autoslide’ the new slideshow feature. It’s not official - only a workaround:

Script to Autoplay DHIS2 Slideshow dashboard
  1. Paste this to your console
const next=document.querySelector('button[data-test="slideshow-next-button"]');function slideshow(t){let e;const o=document.querySelector('button[data-test="slideshow-next-button"]'),s=()=>{o.click(),e=setTimeout(s,t)};this.start=()=>{s()},this.stop=()=>{clearTimeout(e),e=null}}
  1. Initiate and Configure time
const slides = new slideshow(5000); // 5 seconds
  1. Play
slides.start()
  1. Stop
slides.stop()

Here’s quick and short tutorial …
