>> Documentation <http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch26.html> |
>> Demo <http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-event-capture/index.html>
>>
>>

>>
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-program/trackedEntity.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Data approval levels*: You can now configure the levels for where

>> must be approved at the facility and provincial org unit hierarchy levels,

>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-datadictionary/categoryOptionGroup.action>
>>
>>
>>  - *Top menu*: We have added a new, more flexible top menu. This menu

>> devices due to the large icons. You can organize your apps by clicking on

>> Note that your first nine apps will be displayed in the drop-down menu. You

>> out on the demo by hovering the "apps" icon in the top menu.
>>
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dashboard-integration/index.action>
>>
>>
>> - *User account invites*: A new feature for inviting new users to the
>> system has been added. An invite is similar to an account, except that
>> instead of specifying username and password, an email is sent to the
>> invited user, who can pick username and password herself before logging

>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-user/showAddUserForm.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Std dev and variance aggregation operators*: Data elements can now

>> variance. These aggregation operators can also be specified directly in

>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-datadictionary/showAddDataElementForm.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Org unit group counts in indicators*: In indicator formulas you can

>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=hSGuhZLDBSN>
>>
>>
>> - *Custom range axis in visualizer*: In data visualizer you can now
>> specify a new set of options for the range (y) axis, namely the max and min
>> value, the number of ticks to use, and the number of decimals for the axis
>> values. This is useful when e.g. you want to "zoom in" on the upper part of
>> a bar chart in order to highlight differences between org units. Check out
>> the demo chart which shows immunization coverage between 70% and 110%.
>>
>> Documentation <http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch17.html>|
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-visualizer/app/index.html?id=BqUYzUotRlr>
>>
>>
>> - *OpenID authentication*: The system can now be configured to
>> authenticate users through OpenID. This is useful to avoid forcing users to
>> create yet another username and password. OpenID is an open standard that
>> allows users to be authenticated through identify providers, such as Google
>> and Yahoo. The OpenID provider can be specified from settings > access.
>>
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-settings/systemAccessSettings.action>
>>
>>
>> - *CSV meta-data import*: From import-export module you can now import
>> meta-data in CSV format. Supported objects are currently data elements +
>> groups, category options + groups and organisation units + groups. CSV
>> import is quite handy when doing ad-hoc imports from spreadsheets and the
>> like.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch21.html#d5e3265> |
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-importexport/dxf2MetaDataImport.action?importFormat=csv>
>>
>>
>> - *More dynamic attributes*: You can now assign dynamic attributes to
>> data sets and organisation unit group sets. This is useful when you need to
>> capture additional meta-data information beyond what is offered as fixed
>> attributes on these objects.
>>
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-dataadmin/showAddAttributeForm.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Unit intervals*: Data elements now have a new numeric value type
>> called unit interval, which is a continuous number between 0 and 1. This is
>> useful e.g. when you require users to enter a percentage in data entry
>> without having to specify validation rules for each data element.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch04.html#dataElement>|
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-datadictionary/showAddDataElementForm.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Standard comments*: Data elements can now define option sets for data
>> value comments. This means that you can use an option set to define a
>> standard, common set of comments to data values, and let users choose an
>> option by clicking inside the data entry cells and using the regular
>> comment field. You can check it out on the demo for the "facility
>> assessment" form for the "facility infrastructure" data elements.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch04.html#dataElement>|
>> Demo <http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dataentry/index.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Extended sharing*: The sharing paradigm has now been applied to a new
>> range of objects: org unit group set, data element group, data element
>> group set, category combination, category, category option, sql view, user
>> role, validation rule group, option set, tracked entity attribute. The
>> sharing solution enables you to give objects public/private access for
>> reading or writing, and share objects with other groups of users.
>>
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-datadictionary/categoryOption.action>
>>
>>
>> - *Minor* new features:
>>
>> - Data sets have a new setting for forcing users to enter a *comment for
>> missing data values* before clicking complete.
>>  - When importing events you can now specify the organisation unit *identifier
>> scheme*, such as code.
>> - Data visualizer now discriminates between* missing values and zeros* -
>> missing values are displayed as dashes.
>> - DHIS 1.4 import now includes *import of validation rules*.
>> - A new *six-monthly period type* with start in April is now supported
>> for data capture and analysis.
>>
>>
>> ---
>>
>>
>> This version brings a lot of improvements to the *Web API*, which is now
>> richer, more stable and better documented. We have continued on our path of
>> making all system aspects available through the Web API, while rewriting
>> our own clients as light-weight apps.
>>
>>
>> - *Flexible property filtering*: When requesting lists of meta-data
>> objects, the API now allows for flexible filtering on any meta-data
>> property, using any number of filters per query.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s06.html>
>>
>>
>> - *CRUD*: All API resources now directly support create, update, get and
>> delete operations, allowing for modifying resources directly instead of
>> going through the meta-data resource - makes the API more in line with REST
>> principles and more convenient to use.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s08.html>
>>
>>
>> - *Meta-data inclusion / exclusion*: For each resource you can specify
>> precisely which properties and collections you want to be serialized and
>> included in the response - useful e.g. to avoid loading big collections
>> unnecessarily for objects.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s07.html>
>>
>>
>> - *Tracked entity instance query*: A new resource for querying and
>> searching tracked entity instances (e.g. persons, medicines) has been
>> added, which supports free-text queries, queries on specific attributes,
>> programs, program status, events and more.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s34.html>
>>
>>
>> - *Data value set templates*: You can now generate data value set
>> templates for specific data sets, making it simpler to create data entry
>> clients.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s09.html#d5e7828>
>>
>>
>> - *JSON data value sets*: Data value sets can now be rendered as JSON,
>> in addition to the existing XML support.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s09.html#d5e7719>
>>
>>
>> - *Maintenance*: Certain maintenance functions are now available through
>> a maintenance web api resource.
>>
>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s24.html>
