Data element order in smartphone interface for chrome on android

Hi everyone. Was wondering what in the DB determines the order data elements are displayed in the smartphone version of DHIS2 when the form/dataset is not in sections.

On the desktop the dataset is built using a custom form. I think this will have no impact regarding the order this shows on the smartphone version through chrome on a handset/tablet.

In this instance we did not want to use a section form, which there are other forms that are displayed in the proper order using the sections on the smartphone version.

Is it prudent to create two versions of the form? One for desktop and one for smartphone then assign the dataset to the relevant org units? The elements will store the same data regardless of which dataset the they are entering data against correct?

Any advice regarding the smartphone interface would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

you are correct. You should make a section-based form as well.

On the web data entry, custom forms take precedence over section forms. On android, custom forms are not supported so the section based form will be rendered.

Lars

Same thing goes for the “smartphone” data entry web app, no matter which device it’s used on. Custom forms are not supported so it will fall back to the sections forms.
