Re: [Dhis2-users] Tracker - Identification number

 

Thanks Emma and  Ola Hodne for your reply.
Both answers well explained and satisfactory.
I want to get printed out put of clinic number to apply on patient clinic
books, that including org unit and program eg: "CP/GA/RA/PSY/2014/002" .
Is there any way of getting printed out put in a this format ?
Is it available in current version?
