I am trying to configure a new DHIS2 instance, and one of the two datasets I am having trouble with is HR data.
Because the data has entity codes, I am thinking this has to be a part of a Tracker program and uploaded as such. Am I correct? How might I go about doing a batch import of 18,000 records?
Thank you for anyone who might want to help.
(as an aside, the second data set I’m having trouble with is Revenue/Expense data, which I hear should be entered as Events but please correct me if I’m wrong)
It depends. Does this data requires following up with ‘individual’ entities? You need to track the data for each entity across a number of stages? If yes, then it should be a Tracker Program:
At its most basic, Tracker allows the user to define a particular kind of thing (person, commodity, lab sample, catchment area, etc.) that they want to follow over time (a tracked entity), define the data that they want to collect about this entity (attributes, data elements), place the data elements in a specific order with accompanying conditions or logic (program stages, program rules), and determine the analytics that should be produced (program indicators, event reports, data visualizations, etc.) (source)
