This thread is for discussion, questions, and comments from the DHIS2 Tracker Level 1 configuration academy hosted online by HISP India. All participants and facilitators are encouraged to introduce themselves!
A bit about myself:
I have a background in Public Health, Health Informatics and Adult Education. I work for the University of Oslo based in Canada. I support the development of learning content, standard configuration packages and implement tracker projects in the Pacific Islands. Due to the time difference, I will be providing background support to the team in India who is leading the instruction and training. Looking forward to working with you all over the next 2 weeks!

I have been wanting to help the healthcare sector especially in Bangladesh from an IT angle and am looking forward to implementing a Covid-19 Tracker system soon.

Hi Facilitators and colleagues, I’ve some questions that you may want to answer:
1- What is the difference between Event visualizer & Data visualizer as long as I can find Event data items in the Data visualizer?
2- Can Events-Web support offline mode? If yes, then how many events can be saved offline in the browser cache and being synced later on when the Internet is up?
3- In case of Event data are submited mistakenly to incorrect OrgUnit, is there anyway to clone events or to copy it from an OrgUnit to another OrgUnit?
Event visualizer is mainly focussed on the analysis of event data, where you could select all data elements used in the program supporting all value types, such as number, text with option sets, etc. for selection, whereas in Data Visualiser it supports analysis of data pre-aggregate through use of program indicators, and indicators. In Data Visualiser, you cannot select data element which has option sets associated for analysis as they are not supported, therefore for such cases you need to use Event Visualiser. Also, if you create program indicators, and combined indicators using program indicators in the formula, there Data Visualiser is the preferred analysis tool.
The Capture app on the web supports offline data entry, in the scenario of Internet connectivity dropping in middle of a online session, the data gets stored in the browser cache, the amount of data stored depends on the local storage, if there is a documented limited, we will get back with details.
No, as of now such mechanisms are not available, in such a scenario, you can delete the event from the wrong organisation unit, and create again at the correct one.

I have finished creating the Event Program for the assignment of Day 3, but I’m not sure what is required for the submission (in the response section) since the “Malaria Line List Data Model Template filled” has already been provided. Can you clarify please?
