Those steps do not relate to the communication channel - only to recipients. What we would like to control is how each specified program notification is sent to the recipients: in some cases you want internal messaging + email + SMS (and in the future Whatsapp, Skype…) - in other cases you want to use only one or two of these channels.
As an example, if I’m using a program notification as an alert to managers that a dangerous disease have been reported and they should view the report (in DHIS) asap - then it might not be relevant to also send that via internal messaging because that means a user is already in the system and the same disease notification is already clearly visible in dashboards etc.

Hi Calle,
Great, thanks! In your issue, please specify what you think should be added for each version separately. The topics explaining program and program stage notifications are:
Maybe the table in step 6 (program notification) or step 7 (program stage notification) could help with the understanding of the delivery method? According to the doc, this functionality has been the same for both 2.25 and 2.26.
Kind regards,
Cecilia

Cecilia,
Will do so, but I’m hoping to get some clarity first on what these hoodlum developers have actually done

Hi Calle,
Could you create an issue in JIRA (on project Documentation for DHIS 2) for the doc changes you would like to see?
Thanks!

and to be even more specific: the ability to select method (Email/SMS) for Program notifications are only available in 2.26 - in 2.25 there is nothing.

Hi,
Just a brief follow-up: I was reading through the user and developer manuals for both program notifications and program stage notifications, but I only looked at program stage notifications in the system.
Now I noticed that
In the Program notification configuration form, you can specify SMS and/or email (it looks like internal messaging is compulsory?). NOTE THAT THIS PART OF THE DEFINITION FORM IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE MANUALS.
The same options are NOT included with the program STAGE notifications - hence my question above. This type of inconsistency looks like more like a bug (omission) than a deliberate design flaw.
Halvdan is no longer working on the new messaging component - has anybody else taken over?
Regards

Hi
I’ve just looked through the user and developer guides for 2.25 and 2.26, but I cannot find any specific reference to how you can control how program notifications and program stage notifications are sent.
In 2.24, you could specify at least whether to send notifications as SMS, Email or BOTH. That option is no longer there after that component has been refactored.
Is the messaging now controlled from the Systems Settings → Messaging (by selecting email and/or SMS)? If yes, I presume that means one standard comm method for all notifications - and that you cannot turn off internal notification messaging…
What I’m looking for is the ability to specify internal messaging and/or email and/or SMS on a per notification basis.
For instance, if you send out alerts by email or SMS to get users to access the DHIS2 for latest developments, then there is no need to fill up the messages list with a copy of the same…
