I am currently exploring DHIS2 and want to know if it supports task assignment and scheduling functionalities. Specifically, I am looking for a way to:
Assign tasks to data collectors
Schedule tasks for specific dates or times
Automatically send notifications when a task is assigned
If these features are available, could you guide me on how to configure and use them? If not, what workarounds or recommended approaches can help achieve similar functionality?
Any insights or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.
It’s great to hear that you exploring DHIS2 as a solution for your project. It could help experts respond if you mention more details about the project field domain such as education, health…etc
Additionally, there are many ways to approach this but this depends on the data model you are using. The first question would be whether this Aggregate or Tracker data?
In short, yes, it’s possible to assign Organization Units and Datasets for scheduled reporting where datasets having a reporting period. This is covered in the (Aggregate Customization Fundamentals](Aggregate Customization Fundamentals | DHIS2 Online Academy) free online self-paced digital course.
I am exploring DHIS2 for a health-related project where I need to implement task assignment and target setting. The data model I am working with primarily involves Tracker data.
Based on your suggestion, I have gone through the Aggregate Customization Fundamentals course and have tried customizing the system accordingly. I am now working on configuring the Organization Units and Datasets for scheduled reporting. However, I would appreciate further guidance on sms notification to data collector.
Good to know that you’ve found the course helpful. The course is more specifically focused on aggregate data. Since you are primarily handling Tracker data, if you would like to learn more about tracker configuration, there are additional academies to take such as (Tracker Configuration Fundamentals), see Academy Schedule - DHIS2 & Previous Academies - DHIS2.
