[Dhis2-devs] Visualisation of Data Element of Value Type - Organisation Unit

Abyot_Gizaw · 25 October 2016 10:16

Hi,

Value types ORGANISATION_UNIT and COORDINATE are new additions. Handling the data entry part is the first step, the next step is the analysis part which is coming.

Probably a mistake to have a half baked solutions. However, there are users who export data and do visualizations using separate systems.

Hi,

We are now using the latest 2.25 DHIS version. The new feature “Data Element of value type organisation unit” proves to be extremely useful to us. We have a use-case where we want to record the geo-locations (villages) of each individual patient at the Heath Centre they attend. And this feature seems a right approach for us, to be used for this purpose where these locations will be part of the master organisation unit hierarchy and can be selected from the list shown for the data element.

We have configured a tracker type data element of value type ‘org unit’, assigned to a Program and stored some data. However, when we tried to visualise this data collected for that data element, through Event Reports and Event Visualiser app, it gives an error saying “No series items selected”. Also, since the value of the data element is a string (which is the UID of the org. unit), we are not clear as to how we could visualise this data element. Ideally, what we need is a COUNT of the number of times a geo-location (some org. unit) selected.

We also tried to use program indicators to form an expression that can give the desired result. But, that data element doesn’t even come up in the box, where we choose data elements and form expressions. Only number type data elements show up here.

Is there any other way we could use aggregation and visualisation for this new data element type?

Could you also please let us know the road map for the visualisation capabilities of this new data element.

Any help here would be appreciated.

We have handled this by creating aggregate data elements in a dataset assigned to the secondary orgunit. With a script , we imported the aggregated data into the secondary orgunit (after aggregating from events),and things worked as normal in the analytics.

It’s a limited approach,but this is one of those issues which is very challenging to make as a generic feature. You may want to consider this type of ETL approach until it’s sorted out in the core .

Jason

Hi,

Thank you for the responses, Abyot, Jan and Jason. Could you please let us know an approximate timeline around which visualisation will be supported for this data element type.

Cheers,

Agree with Abyot that the half baked solution is not a good one.

Will consider a backport for the analysis apps as soon as this is supported.

Abyot,

have you fixed the issue of the uid being displayed for value type ORGANISATION_UNIT instead of as expected the NAME?

I saw when testing 2.25 yesterday the the COORDINATE data type is now having coordinates rounded to six decimals, so that’s fixed.

The double-display of TEXT value fields without optionsets is also critical to fix.

Hi Jan/Abyot,

This feature of DHIS 2.25 is extremely useful for us in terms of knowing and analyzing patients’ geo-locations.

Could you please let us know an approximate timeline around which visualization will be supported for data element of type Organization Unit. Also, which version of DHIS2 will support it?

Cheers,

···

Agree with Abyot that the half baked solution is not a good one.

Will consider a backport for the analysis apps as soon as this is supported.

Hi,

Value types ORGANISATION_UNIT and COORDINATE are new additions. Handling the data entry part is the first step, the next step is the analysis part which is coming.

Probably a mistake to have a half baked solutions. However, there are users who export data and do visualizations using separate systems.

Hi,

We are now using the latest 2.25 DHIS version. The new feature “Data Element of value type organisation unit” proves to be extremely useful to us. We have a use-case where we want to record the geo-locations (villages) of each individual patient at the Heath Centre they attend. And this feature seems a right approach for us, to be used for this purpose where these locations will be part of the master organisation unit hierarchy and can be selected from the list shown for the data element.

We have configured a tracker type data element of value type ‘org unit’, assigned to a Program and stored some data. However, when we tried to visualise this data collected for that data element, through Event Reports and Event Visualiser app, it gives an error saying “No series items selected”. Also, since the value of the data element is a string (which is the UID of the org. unit), we are not clear as to how we could visualise this data element. Ideally, what we need is a COUNT of the number of times a geo-location (some org. unit) selected.

We also tried to use program indicators to form an expression that can give the desired result. But, that data element doesn’t even come up in the box, where we choose data elements and form expressions. Only number type data elements show up here.

Is there any other way we could use aggregation and visualisation for this new data element type?

Could you also please let us know the road map for the visualisation capabilities of this new data element.

Any help here would be appreciated.
