DHIS2 CSS roadmap to customisation

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi,

We are using DHIS2 for an MSF project. We would like to make some UI enhancements to the web app and we have a couple of queries regarding the same.

  1. Could you please let us know your roadmap for enhancing the UI of the various web apps on DHIS2.
  2. Will all the apps be migrated to being an open app like Event Capture?
  3. Currently, we cannot add custom CSS or JS to Event Capture app. If so, going down the line, when apps are migrated, will we be able to add custom CSS and JS to the individual apps (e.g. Event Capture), and what is the scope?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

In the near future we are working on migrating all modules which handle metadata configuration into a new maintenance app. The maintenance app is currently named “Data elements and Indicators” and will be renamed to “Maintenance” when we get support for handling of all metadata objects in there.

The metadata configuration apps referred to are:

dhis-web-maintenance-dataset (data sets and sections)

dhis-web-maintenance-organisationunit (organisation units, groups, group sets)

dhis-web-validationrule (validation rules, groups)

dhis-web-maintenance-program (programs, attributes, tracked entities)

  1. Will all the apps be migrated to being an open app like Event Capture?

Eventually yes, all modules will be rewritten as open web apps. We do not have an exact estimate of when that will happen but hopefully within a years time.

  1. Currently, we cannot add custom CSS or JS to Event Capture app. If so, going down the line, when apps are migrated, will we be able to add custom CSS and JS to the individual apps (e.g. Event Capture), and what is the scope?

Yes, we will add this to trunk shortly.

best regards,

Lars

Lars,

“we cannot add custom CSS or JS to Event Capture app”

is this supposed to be possible? and also is this supposed to be something we need to allow for in the “new” apps? Because we currently do not include this custom js/css in the new apps.

Regards,

Mark
