Using data dimensions as filters in GIS in DHIS2

Hi all,

The GIS UI does not allow for filtering specific indicators by data dimensions. E.g. if you added an attribute for funder as a data dimension it is available as a filter in Pivot table and Data Visualiser but in GIS there is no such filters. I can understand that GIS would be limited to selecting one attribute as a filter similar to how you can only select one indicator per layer but this would be a nice feature to have because without it GIS becomes not usable for scenarios where you use attributes.

Would it be possible to consider this so that I can add a Jira issue for it?

Use case:

I would like to map an indicator e.g Cost per unit by different Principle recipients of a specific grant (Attributes) and would create e.g. 3 layers one for each Principle Recipient but to do this I need to be able to filter the indicator on each layer for one of those Principle recipients (Attributes).

Hi Elmarie,

yes agree that this needs to be done. We had thought about this earlier, it is planned for 2.27 or 2.28:
