Hi,

first thanks to Jason for the nice work on upgrading our docs.

In this case John its also relevant to look at the new "attribute" type
categories. The categories as you know them are now referred to as type
"disaggregation" - the new type is referred to as "attribute" and should be
linked to a data set.

This allows you to create a category of type attribute called "Implementing
Partner", where you can include category options for each of your partners.
Remember to tick "use as data dimension" and dimension type "attribute"
when creating the category. Then wrap this category in a category
combination also called "Implementing partner" and assign this category
combination to the data set where you collect your partner oriented data
(in edit data set screen > category combination).

Now when opening data entry you will see that you must, in addition to org
unit/data set/period, select the partner that should be "attributed" the
data, before the data entry form appears. After entering data and running
analytics, the partner dimension will also become available in pivot table
and visualizer for data analysis.

All this is available in 2.14.

In 2.15 we will introduce more features like access control per category
option (preventing partners to see each others data) and category option
groups + group sets (like Jason indicates, for further classification and
analysis of category options, for instance by funding agency).

We are interested in feedback on these features so let us know how it goes.

regards,

Lars
