hello DHIS2ers,
I am starting a project and am considering whether to use rapidsms, DHIS2, commconnect.
I know DHIS2 can do cool stuff with java enabled phones, but for this project we will need to rely on cheap-cheap, dumb phones and therefore like to send data via a string formula – like 11052 (siteidnumberofpatients suspectednumbertestednumberpositive) – and then store the data in a database.
Can this easily be done with DHIS2? How much work would that take to set up? Any one have thoughts or similar experience. Full confession, I am not a programmer but have some database experience.
Thanks to anyone who answers!

Hi Bill,
Have a look at Maintenance → Mobile Configuration → SMS configuration. Not sure how self-explanatory the settings are, but we can pretty much define a command exactly the way you are thinking. It is then important to create a user who has the correct mobile phone number and is assigned to only one orgunit (the one which will receive the data).

To follow up, we still don’t support orgunit code as part of the message, which I think we should. We should also support the same date format as we use for the WebAPI, but some more development will then be needed.
We have not fully included the SMS input functionality in the manual yet, but you can read all about it in the following document, particularly the appendix:
