One more thing, I would like to clarify as per your raised question, DHIS
is a community driven, community based web application with a very wide
applicability, AND unfortunately, this community does't support any IS:IS
activity at any point at any way across.

Hi Anne,

Let me clear your point which need to put your attention and
understandability about setting up a 'min-max' value and defining
'validation rule' in global context of DHIS.

Setting 'min-max' value for a data element doe,t implies, you are defining
a validation rule for that data element in belonging dataset, its just a
range of value with certain predefined set of numeric interval for that
data element without any mathematical operator or mathematical expression,
if and only if data element is of number type or its variant type like
flot, int, double etc. It can be varied dataset vs organisation unit wise
for a specific data element with different period if you think in multi
dimensional context. It only prompt with multi colours indicative popups
during data entry, if and only if, the entered value does't belong to that
predefined specified range of entered data value before or after pressing
'dataset completeness' button available in data entry form.

Setting 'Validation Rule' in DHIS means defining a mathematical expression
or formula like indicators which include all the time at least one or more
data elements as mathematical operand with some predefined mathematical
operators. Validation Rule in DHIS acts like a filtered condition which is
uniform for all organisation unit and datasets for any period but depends
upon defined period type. This would show you both weather validation rule
pass or fail with list which can be exportable in multiple formats like PDF
, CVS, Work Book etc. You can make validation rule group with multi
validation rules and can perform and operate group wise validation test for
checking data quality but officially, this activity is not recommended and
banned in some of the countries is. Group Wise Validation Analysis.

I think, you should prepare to define validation rule in Data Quality for
these data elements, because 'min-max' is for different purpose like
setting up a target for specific data element for a period for specific
organisation unit.

Could You guide me in please!
