Using OrgUnit short names in charts, pivots, maps

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi

I’ve got a bit of a dumb question - WHERE in the menu system can I specify that short names are to be used for OrgUnits, data elements, or indicators in charts, pivots, maps, etc?

It has to be there somewhere, but as is typically the case when you are looking for a really basic/simple function it’s elusive. I’ve searched the various manuals but not found anything - short names are mainly just referenced as fields in the resource tables and not how/when to use them.

Regards
Calle

In user settings we have option to set “Property to display in analysis modules”, may be this is what you are looking?

That is correct……

A note however – this only became possible a little recently ( 2.17 ) , so may not work with older versions.

Dapo/Bharath,

YES - that’s what I was looking for. Silly, really - I looked at all those setting pages but simply did not “see” what was right under my Trollish nose.

Light alzheimer as usual :slight_smile:

Thanks for the heads up

Regards

Calle
