Hi Lars,
We have a requirement where in, we have to add few charts developed in dhis together as a report with a small user commentary about them. Finally we want to save them in dhis. Is this possible in the current dhis?
Thanks and Regards,
Sultan Ahamar.
Hi Sultan,
that sounds interesting. Are you open to use the HTML standard reports for this?
My suggestion is to use an HTML report in combination with the charts plugin. The comment could be regular (raw) data values. You can create a data element of type TEXT (e.g. called “Chart Malaria Comment”). In your HTML report you can have a javascript function that saves the comment text for the appropriate data element, period, org unit. The HTML report can be made print-friendly and saved as PDF.
Just an idea.

Hey Lars,
That looks good. Since we have to prepare many of these reports with multiple charts, to make it more user friendly we have to build wrapper around API(as our users cannot write code) to make it a small app that shows all the charts and user selects few of them. Then commentary can go in data element as you have said. Is this something good? or you can suggest something good if we have missed exploring some functionality.
Thank you for taking time to reply on generic talk like this at the time of release. It means a lot.
Regards,
Sultan Ahamar.

Thanks Sultan.
Sounds like a great idea. Now if you can make that app generic (meaning reusable for others) then we are more than happy to put it on the app store 
regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
That was certainly a good idea. Our client MSF OCA needed that app to even more simpler for their users to use. So the requirement is like, user comes to app and selects time period ( month, and year). App should fetch all relevant charts to their org units. For app to recognize the charts, app is relying on the naming convention of charts and a dataset. This is not a generic thing now. 
This app is configurable but not completely. We can discuss on the app more if you are interested.
Regards,
Sultan Ahamar.
