Option, option set and dataelement

GROUT_Lise · 22 May 2016 15:31

Dear all,

Sorry for this basic question but I prefer to ask for confirmation.

Can we use the same option in different option sets (for example positive/negative in different option Sets) and the same option sets in different dataelements (for example the option sets results for different tests)?

Thanks!

Lise.

Dear Lise

We don’t have uniqueness in options across different option sets. So it’s possible to use same options names in different options sets.

Hi Lise!
You can use the same Option Set in multiple data elements. This will in turn mean that you use the same options for these data elements.

Using the same options in different option sets is not possible through the UI - do you have a use case for this?

Best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thank you very much for your quick help!

Very simple use case: the option “unknown” is used in most of my option sets. Can I use the same “unknown” or do I have to create one “unknown” per option sets. The option 1 would be more logical, but I don’t know how it will work in the analysis.

Thank you!

Lise.

I think your instinct of reusing options is sound. However, in the database we are connecting each option to exactly one option set - and you will have to duplicate your common options for now.

Hi Lise,

It is possible to re-use the same option set for several data elements, for example you can have option-set called “Test Result” with these options: “positive,Negative, Not applicable”…this can be applied to different data elements like "“Pregnancy test”,“HIV Test” so that they both pick the same option-set.

Hi Lise,

at the moment you must create a new “Unknown” option. You can give it the same name and code though as the other Unknowns. The uid will be different.

It is debatable whether this is the right way. We are considering whether to change the design to allow for re-use of options.

I think (semantically) the correct way is to create a new "Unknown"
option, though it should have a different code and uid from other
unknowns. The displayed label just happens to be the same but the
underlying concept is different. That is, they actually represent the
likes of "Unknown age", "Unknown test result", "Unknown sex" etc.
Despite sharing the same text label, they are really quite different
options.

There is a similar issue we have grappled with
categories/categoryOptions which is resolved in a different (also
slightly unsatisfactory) way.

My longer term view is that options should be able to be reused in
different optionsets, but not in a completely free manner.

There is some experience of the problem outside of dhis2 and I believe
the established consensus is that
(i) codes/options in a controlled vocabulary are contained in a code
list. Every item in that list should be uniquely identifiable.
(ii) these items should relate to a specific concept (age, disease,
test result etc)
(ii) value sets (such as categories and optionsets in dhis2) should
be selected from one and only one codelist. There can be any number
of valuesets for any one codelist. This allows for reuse of items but
disallows a valueset with mixed concepts (ie you couldn't construct an
optionset containing 'Malaria','Male','under5','Unknown')

If we do get to re-examine our model in this area, this is the
approach I would advocate.

Hi Lars,

can you kindly verify your explanation about uniqueness of option codes?

It would be great if they hadn't to be unique system-wide, but I just tested it
on snapshot, and it seems to me that option codes codes must still be unique.
Which is in fact not really interesting: this way you cannot use simple F and M
for female/male as F might stand for False in another category. This is
especially difficult when you are dependent on the codes that are coming from a
source system.

My temporary solution is to prefix each code with a code for the category e.g.
GEN.F/GEN.M for gender female/male and HPY.T/HPY.F for happy or not happy. But
that's not really nice for the outputs and exports. Imagine having a simple
number code (like Month) that is presented as MON.10, Mon.11 etc. in charts and
pivots ...

Thanks and regards,

Uwe

Agree. That is in fact what address in my proposal. codes (and
labels) should be unique within the scope of a codelist. Many
categories can draw off a codelist. There can be many codelists.
Codelists represent a list of possible codes for a given concept (
age_group, gender, disease, stock status etc).

Codelists should be importable/exportable to other systems. Hence
there are no uniqueness requirements across codelists.

Your temporary solution is probably best you can do at present.
