Congratulations to the finalists and many thanks to all for your submissions!
For those participants that were not selected this time, we highly encourage you to share your demo videos and promote your amazing applications by creating a new topic in the DHIS2 Community of Practice. There were many strong submissions and every one of those applications enriches our great DHIS2 community and helps people use DHIS2 for their important work around the world!
Our app wasn’t a finalist for the app competition, probably because it’s so simple—but it’s simplicity is what makes it useful!
The DHIS2 Rich Text and Video Dashboard Widget provides the ability to add formatted text, tables, links, and videos to your DHIS2 dashboards. This allows for dashboards with much more flexible, complex, informative, and attractive presentation.
The only suggestion I’d have for now is to either remove the label of each item (e.g. “Information” title for YouTube videos is not needed) - or even better, let users specify a title for their item. But that’s just a minor thing really, it’s a great app! I probably would have voted for it
Thanks, @bram_piot! It’s so cool to see the Laos MoH dashboard!
We’ll have an update soon that will remove the Information header for versions of DHIS2 2.36 and later. (Unfortunately, that feature isn’t available for 2.35 or earlier.)
@Magoba: No IT or programming skills needed to create the tutorial or customize the landing page. It is all dragging and dropping, writing the content and uploading the graphical materials (screen shoots, videos, or GIFs)
You can all try the app out in our life DHIS2 Play instance: WHO - Standard packages for entomology and vector control
@Amina the App Hub currently only supports web applications. Android applications need to be installed via the Google Play Store or another app distribution mechanism such as manual APK installation
Hi @sele! The app is indeed compatible with DHIS 2.36. When we uploaded it to the App Hub, 2.36 wasn’t out yet, so we couldn’t select a version higher than 2.35.
If you are running DHIS 2.36, I recommend you download version 1.0.6 of the widget, found at:
1.0.6 won’t show the word “Information” in Dashboards. (@bram_piot, you were looking for this too—it’s released!)
We’re working with @austin on getting versions 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 of the widget into the App Hub, but there’s a bug in the uploader that won’t let us add them yet. Hopefully we’ll get that resolved soon!
Thanks @ben , this is very helpfully, I will definitely use the app. It is something I was looking for. Making the dashboards more attractive by using rich text content
