We’re developing a Forestry M&E System and currently analyzing the possibility of using DHIS2 for this purpose.
During our first try-outs of the functionalities of DHIS 2.15, it seems there’s no available data elements when creating a program stage. The program user has been set to Superuser (covering Admin role) and program OrgUnits are all available OrgUnits. Can anyone give a hint as to how to add data elements to a program stage and what we missed?
when creating/editing the data element, make sure you set “domain type” to “patient”. This is not completely logical and has been changed to “tracker” in the upcoming version.

Lars

Thank you for the quick reply, that did the trick. However, does this mean there is currently no way to track aggregated data?
I have been looking to use the “Option Set” functionality instead, but I’m not sure about its use for comments. Where precisely is it used and is it possible to use multiple “Option Set for comment” fields for 1 dataset, simulating a combined category as for aggregated data?

don’t worry - we use “tracker” type data elements in tracker and “aggregate” type for routine/aggregate data. You can later aggregate event based data into routine data.
You can specify option set for comments per data element, meaning that there can be multiple appearing for a single data set. You will see the comment in aggregate data entry by clicking directly in the data input fields.
