Hi Lars,

 

Thanks that is what I did. 

A general question – Isn’t this a way to easily add targets for certain data elements with known denominators eg population by setting up a dataset with e.g. Yearly or Quarterly period and then capture the target values as dataset attributes rather than create a new data element for the target which makes analysis more tricky since you need to link the 2 data elements to each other somehow?

 

Regards,

Subject: Re: [Dhis2-devs] Difference between attribute and disaggregate option for category combos

 

Hi Elmarie,

 

the data dimension type on category and category combo indicates whether you want to use these as disaggregation categories (linked to data elements) or attribute categories (linked to data sets). So attributes refers to data set categories.

 

If you would like to create a data set category (e.g. one category option for "preliminary" and one for "validated"), then you need to set these to "attribute". So:

 

Category combo: "Output type" - data dimension set to "attribute".

Category: "Output type" -  data dimension set to "attribute".

Category options: "Preliminary output" and "Validated output".

 

You can now assign the "Output type" category combo to your data set, and the data entry screen will allow you to choose between preliminary and validated before entering data.

 

regards,


Lars

Hi all,

 

I need to set up a dhis2 instance in which we want to capture the data for specific month twice e.g. preliminary output and validated output. We don’t need those to be added together as usual in a data element category combination. 

 

I have been looking into dataset category combinations but that looks a lot similar in the manual to attributes. Would like clarity on the difference between using disaggregate or attribute when selecting data dimension on a catcombo. 

 

Any suggestions on alternatives would be welcome J
