Hi All, I am designing a database for an organization that works with multiple local NGOs (14 NGOs in all) as the Implementing Partners (IPs) for the said organization. There are 40 districts in all. For the sake of this description, I will name the districts as district_1, district_2, district_3, and so on. and the IPs as IP1, IP2, IP3, and so on. Each of the IPs works in multiple districts; f…

Hi John, You should probably consider using the new feature of the category option group sets. This allows a mechanism to have multiple reports for a single organisation unit and time period, which would be disaggregated by for instance, “Implementing partner” and “Project”. You can take a look at the new documentation here which describes how to set this up. The problem with the approach which…

This allows you to create a category of type attribute called “Implementing Partner”, wh…

Hi Lars, Thank you for the detailed explanation which is quite helpful. As always with new technology, it takes some time to master. I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty with this. Will surely provide feedback and likely need more guidance to pull this through. Thank you once again. Will be back soon. John John Ojo MD, FMCPH Accra, Ghana. Mobile: +233 234691626+233 234691626 …

Hi, The Combination of categories box on the Edit Data Element page is empty and not displaying the data element category combination I created. The following is what I did: Step 1: Created some data element category options (names of the IPs were the category options) Step 2: Created a Category as follows Name: Implementing Partner Use as data dimension: Checked Dim…

Hi John, you must assign to the data set, not the data elements. The attribute category combos are linked to data sets.

Hi Lars & Jason, It Works! I have attached a small screenshot as a proof that the attributes categories concept works so excellently. Wow. You guys are fantastic! Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful tool. Now I can concentrate on my client’s needs knowing that the tool I have can pull the magic! Thumbs up for you all developers out there! Merci beaucoup! John John Ojo MD, FMCPH A…
