I am sick and in DHIS2 I have to enter the symptoms that I am experiencing.
Symptoms are many…
-Fever,
-Coughing,
-Headache,
-etc etc(pls assume that it’s a long long list…)
Now, against “Symptoms” I want to be able to multi select between these options according to what symptoms I am experiencing, Is there some way by which this kind of thing can be implemented in DHIS2?
No that is not possible at the moment. Unfortunately, you have to create as many dataelements as the symptoms you wanted to collect. This is also related to analysis. If you wanted to count and do some kind of analysis/reporting on such dataelement, processing the multiple selections is not possible.
If you are not interested in analysis, then creating an app is also a possibility. What you could do is - make the dataelement to be text type and in your app you can can append the multiple selections.
