How to Create a Dataset in DHIS2 | Step-by-Step Tutorial | DHIS2 Metadata Series

Following up on my last post exploring whether we can effectively measure healthy behaviors in DHIS2…

…the wait is over! The full video tutorial is now live. :rocket:

As a continuation of the DHIS2 Metadata Series, this episode moves from theory to practice. We take the physical activity scenario we discussed (tracking daily step goals like 5k, 7.5k, and 10k) and build out the complete aggregate solution from scratch.

If you want to see exactly how all the foundational blocks fit together, we walk step-by-step through:

  1. Creating the foundational Data Elements.

  2. Setting up the disaggregation layers using Category Options, Categories, and Category Combinations.

  3. Compiling everything into a clean, functional Dataset ready for monthly data entry.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed interest in the teaser! You can watch the full step-by-step implementation walkthrough here:

I’d still love to hear your thoughts: How is your organization handling behavioral tracking or NCD prevention data in DHIS2? Let’s discuss in the replies!

Could you do a tutorial on how to use the DHIS2 to create datasets, which includes importing and exporting, creating dashboards, and basically how to create a project as a beginner? And please tag me to it so I can see it immediately. Thank you!
