Data elements assignation

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi dhis2 devs,

I have to assign many data elements to a data set, so I would like to automatically do it.

Is there any possibility to do it, like a csv importation?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Diao,

Are you able to use the web api? The section in the developer’s manual ‘Metadata create, read, update, delete, validate’ should be helpful.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Mamadou,

I agree with Michael that the most flexible way is to use the web API and create a JSON structure (e.g. with MS Excel), in particular

https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_metadata_crud.html#webapi_adding_removing_objects_collections

However, if you find this too cumbersome, you could do something like this:

  1. Give your dataelements a unique PREFIX to enable you to filter them out

  2. Import them as CSV

  3. Create a group for them

  4. Go to the group editor, filter and select:

https://play.dhis2.org/2.28/dhis-web-maintenance/#/group-editor

  1. Create your dataset and filter by the group

The problem with this method is the PREFIX which you may not want to keep…

Oops, you cannot select by group anymore. However, you can skip step 3) and 4) and rather do the filtering of data elements directly in 5)
