Re: flexible start-of-week?

 

Hi Johan,

I think this would be something the developers would need to do,
although it is not too difficult to implement. Source is available
here

\dhis-2\dhis-api\src\main\java\org\hisp\dhis\period

And by the four weeks period, you mean something which starts on a
Sunday, not on a Monday?

It sounds like this is really a bigger blueprint, namely the ability
to dynamically define period types somehow through the user interface.

Regards,
Jason
