Display indicator in another dataset

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi,

I have an instance where I calculate an indicator from data of one dataset (TB08) and display the indicator in the same dataset as well as in another dataset (TB10) in the same quarter
​ at data entry form​

.

My issue is on the data entry form of TB10, the value of that indicator is displayed as zero. I have tried completing the
​other ​

dataset
​ (TB08),running the analytics and clearing all the cache. I can see the data value in the dataset report of TB10, issue is not displaying at the data entry form.

Is this a bug or DHIS cannot use one indicator in two data entry forms? I have attached screenshots.
​ I’m running 2.18 on postgres.​

Thanks

Pramil

Dear Pramil,

I am not sure if indicators can just be used for data entry in DHIS2. In DHIS2, indicators are calculated from data elements which are instead used in data entry.

In this case, your indicators can be used while generating your reports e.g. using pivot table or any other analytics packages of DHIS2.

Thanks

Yes, Agreed totally. But my requirement is to display the value in the form only. Not to enter a value. I think that is the purpose to have indicators available in the “Design Data Entry Form” page.

In my case it is to used as a guide in data entry. I know that can be done using validation rules, but prefer to have it while entering the data.

Thanks

@Amza

Thank you for the question! This post is since 2015 but it seems that with the new Data Entry app it might be possible to find a solution. I experimented with this in the old Data Entry app but it doesn’t seem to work; however, when I used the new Data Entry app in version 2.39, it showed the indicator in both datasets assigned to the same OU.

Please test it out in the new app: https://play.dhis2.org/2.39.0/dhis-web-aggregate-data-entry/

@Gassim, thanks for following up with this. However I tested it with the new data entry app in 2.39 and it is still not working.

I created an indicator in ART monthly summary dataset, see picture below :

Then I put the same indicator in another dataset called HIV Care Monthly, see picture below :

As you can see, in the 1st dataset value is displayed while in the 2nd dataset the indicator shows 0

Hi @Amza

Please take a screenshot with the log from the Network tab.

Are you using the new data entry app?

If you are then please make sure the related data elements are also added to the data set where the indicator is.
