Indicators not displaying in "Data Entry" module – Aggregation from Tracker

Support - Assistance technique

Hi, everyone,

I’m currently working on a setup where several indicators are calculated based on data entered through a Tracker program, with the goal of producing a quarterly aggregated report.

These indicators have been correctly assigned to a dataset in order to be used for validation or reporting purposes.

However, when I open the Data Entry module and select the dataset, these indicators do not appear in the form. I was expecting to see their automatically calculated values, at least for verification or reporting.

Details:

  • Tracker program: used for case-based data entry
  • Dataset: “TB - Quarterly Report”
  • Purpose: to generate aggregated reports from Tracker data via indicators
  • DHIS2 version: 2.40.7

My question:
Can calculated indicators be displayed in the Data Entry module when linked to a dataset?
Or is it only possible to view them through other modules (like Data Visualizer, Custom Reports, or Dashboards)?

Thanks in advance for your help and insights!

Best regards,

Hi
Yes, it should be possible to include indicators in the dataset; however, there are other factors that might be causing this:

  1. what’s the indicator’s expression and the where the values are being retrieved?
  2. If analytics tables export ran properly?
  3. Any possible cache issues?
  4. Sharing access for the user…

I’d recommend to start with the simplest and most basic indicator and dataset for testing and keep updating it to test what’s going on, and best to start with one indicator at a time.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

Hello @elmoujarrade - except I am missing something. Have you implemented a data transfer using analytics/dataValueSet.json endpoint? There are dhis2 apps and solutions for that.

Cheers,

Abumere
