>>> 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.

>>>
>>>
>>> - *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.

>>> - *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.

>>>
>>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s09.html#d5e7828>
