Re: dxf

 

Thanks Bob,

Sort of related to this, do we have a blueprint for improvements to DXF,
specifically adding new types of metadata to DXF and the import/export
process (reality as you call it)?

There are still some important metadata that are not supported in
DXF/import-export which makes updating DHIS installations harder for the
implementers, like (if no changes have been made to this recently):

Data entry forms
all GIS metadata (for the new module)
Charts
Dashboards
and probably more?
