Hello Community,

I need help displaying the Enrollment Date, Incident Date, and Coordinates as columns in the Capture app’s list view. Despite configuring these fields, they aren’t appearing in the column list.

Could anyone provide the exact steps or configurations required to ensure these fields are visible in the Capture app?

Hi

The columns can only be for the attributes that have the option ‘display list’ in the tracker program configuration, and there’s the option to add ‘registration date’ as well as ‘organisation unit’.

Hi @Gassim,

I wanted to check if there are any plans in DHIS2 to enable displaying enrollment dates, incident dates, or coordinates directly in the list view. This feature is part of our requirements, and if it isn’t currently possible, could you share any insights into the limitations?

Thank you,

Hey @hio.amakomaya - thanks for reaching out!

This is unfortunately a very common misconception that we see about the working lists. Although it seems very intuitive that enrollment and incident dates should be part of the list, it is not as easy as it seems. When opening a list in a tracker program, you’re actually looking at tracked entities that are enrolled in this program, not the enrollments itself. This means that one row can have multiple involvements since one tracked entity can be involved in a program multiple times.

The working list therefore doesn’t support showing enrollment-specific things because we wouldn’t know which enrollment to pick from. We know that lists showing specific enrollments is a big use case, and we’ll look into how to better support that in the future, but for now, I would try to find workarounds that don’t include very enrollment-specific things. (Searching with attributes, events or even enrollment status).

We’ll try to update our information channels when we have a better solution for this.

Thank you, and please let me know if there are any other questions I can help with.

Hi @hio.amakomaya , we have created a JIRA some time ago for enrollment & incident data. You can add your comments & use case that will help to move it forward.
