I have just started using DHIS and I want to develop a dashboard based on DHIS2 data, something like https://data.pepfar.net/. Notice that the dashboard does not have the usual DHIS look and feel.
I have been told that DHIS has a built in facility for doing this but I have not come across it in the DHIS documentation or any training materials.
I need advise on how I can go about this please. Any helpful documentation or training materials that can help with this will be appreciated as well.
To my knowledge, pepfar is not using DHIS2 (are they??).
If you want to change the look of the dashboards, I see three possibilities, ranked from easiest to hardest:
You create a DHIS2 app. In that case you only do some front-end development and use the API to manipulate the data.
You create the entire website (front and back end) and use the API to manipulate the data.
You “fork” DHIS2 and create your own layout. Note that then you would have to merge back all the new bugs fix and features.
If not already done, I would advise to first get a dashboard with the already existing DHIS2 layout before thinking to switch to a new one.
Best,
Edouard
PS: Myself still a newbie with DHIS2. Maybe some other people in this list have better advices.

PEPFAR is using DHIS2 as their database platform. BUT they are also using a lot of other tools on top of that for analysis, reporting, and display.
DHIS 2.29, released last week, has some significant improvements to what had become a somewhat stale/static dashboard design - I would check that out before considering apps and the like (lots of work to develop those)
