Functionality of the Complete button in Data Entry

Hello DHIS 2 Team!

I am not sure what exactly the functionality is of the Complete button in Data Entry. From what I have read in the DHIS 2 User-Manual, I understood that the Complete button is a subjective approach to calculating completeness, meaning that the data will be saved even if I do NOT click the Complete button after entering the data.

Could you please provide me with more detailed explanation of the Complete button if I did not understand its functionality correctly?

Thank you for your time addressing my question!

Best,

Rae

Hi Rae,

The data are saved regardless, but clicking the button allows you to indicate that you are indeed done filling in data, even though it might look as though some data are missing - because you actually have nothing to report. This is also related to the question of whether to require people to report zero (0) - and whether that is significantly different from not reporting anything (NULL).

Others can complete the picture.
