Re: short name in analysis modules

 

Hi Lars,

Just to find out if some progress has been made regarding this issue – I
don’t think it made it to 2.15? or am I wrong.

Hi Dapo,

 

thanks for pointing this out. Aware of the need - we are working on some
underlying changes in our web api to get this in place now.

 

regards,

 

Lars

Hi Lars,

Thought I should resuscitate this as it seems the fix did not make it to
2.14 ( at least as at now) . I think this feature is quite important
especially for use of information in the DHIS . As Knut suggested it will be
better to actually have the option set in each analysis module per user but
implementing that will be quite a task I imagine. The original
`implementation that allows a user to define use of shortname vs longnames
as a global `setting will at least provide some shorterm solution while we
look for more lasting answers.

This should have a high priority, since many charts look quite stupid and
often actually misleading/wrong with long names. Orgunit names present a
particular challenge, as in many countries there is a need to have "double
names" such as Lao+English, since Orgunit names are currently not
translatable.

 

But I'm not sure I would want it to be a universal user choice, would
perhaps feels more natural to have it as an option for each chart or map? Or
maybe as a universal choice which could be overridden for particular
resources.

Hi Dapo,

this feature did not completely make it into 2.13 and was unfortunately
half-done. The setting was removed from 2.13 last week. Will implement as
soon as we get time.

Hi Devs,

Just to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong before reporting this as a
bug. Users should be able to choose whether to use ‘name’ or ‘short name’
for metadata in analysis modules. This should be set by each user under
their profiles……this doesn’t seem to be working – Any similar experiences or
how should this work?
