Web API Pivot Table Layout

Hi Guys

I’m using the Web API to design an html report displaying pivot tables. How do I adjust my url call so that the pivot table rendered can display in the same way it was designed.

Using the DHIS2 demo for example, if I use the url http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/analytics.html?dimension=dx:Jtf34kNZhzP;cYeuwXTCPkU;fbfJHSPpUQD;hfdmMSPBgLG&dimension=ou:USER_ORGUNIT_CHILDREN&dimension=pe:THIS_YEAR I get this view :

Yet I would like the Pivot Table to have a layout like this :

Hi Farai, such layout is produced by the pivot tables client, so you cannot get it directly from the server.

Thanks Jan for the feedback. Noted.

The following querystring parameters “tableLayout=true&columns=dx;ou&rows=pe” found in the Web API documentation just provided what I was looking for :

api/analytics.html?dimension=dx:fbfJHSPpUQD;cYeuwXTCPkU&dimension=pe:2012Q1;2012Q2&dimension=ou:O6uvpzGd5pu**&tableLayout=true&columns=dx;ou&rows=pe**

One more question : If I setup a chart using the Data Visualizer and I have saved it as “favourite”, how do I call that chart favourite from my html report passing a dynamic org unit parameter to it?

Hi Farai,

If you look in the second table on this page, you will see that there is a dynamic parameter called ou:

Sorry, I misread your question a bit. In your case, you can only pass width and height if you wish to work with stored charts, like this:

So that means I can’t pass dynamic uid parameters then? Such a facility would have greatly assisted me to quickly create my html report leveraging off the charts already created and saved as favourites in the Data Visualizer. I would only need to dynamically pass the uid to it and get the relevant result. Now looks like I will have to reconstruct the charts from scratch?

Does it have to be a parameter? If I understand you correctly, you can get your stored charts by passing the chart uid as part of the url: http://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/charts/UlfTKWZWV4u/data

I think what Farai would like is to use the favorite as a template of how the chart should look, but then be able to get the same chart with different orgunits and for different periods. This would vastly improve the usability, especially in the case of reports - it’s hopeless to have to define a favorite for each of the possible combinations.

Hi Farai, the following parameters are supported for the chart resource:

Need to include this in the docs.

That’s great - I thought they were not supported for the stored charts, because I tried a bit and did not see any difference. Could you provide an example URL for the demo?

Hi Lars

Does the ou parameter for the chart resource accept multiple ou_ids or a parent ou ids? The charts I’m seeking to create will in most cases display multiple facilities in a single chart.

Is there a work around at the moment that I can use to create a template chart and then pass dynamic parameters to it to generate multiple charts for many facilities?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated as I’m pretty much stuck at the moment.

Regards

Farai
