>> TRACKER FEATURES
>>
>> ---
>>
>>
>>
>> *Attribute categories in event capture:* Data set categories can be

>> Screenshot
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/images/221/event-capture-attribute-categories.png>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Sticky right side widgets:* In tracker capture, the right-side widgets
>> can be made “sticky”, meaning that they remain at the top of the screen
>> when scrolling down the page. You can enable this by clicking the “sticky”
>> icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard screen. This is useful for
>> example to display key patient information while entering data.
>>
>>
>>
>> Screenshot
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/images/221/tracker-capture-sticky-right-column.png>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Program rule warnings and errors:* The program rules let you define
>> warning and error messages as actions based on rule evaluation. This is
>> useful e.g. to provide assistance and guidance to health workers based on
>> medical best practises during consultations. It can also be used for data
>> validation purposes, e.g. to provide warnings for values out of range or
>> logical violations between data elements. Program rules are supported in
>> tracker capture dashboard and event capture. Try it out on the demo with
>> the “WHO RMNCH Tracker” program.

>> *Program rules for attributes:* Tracked entity attributes can be used

>>
>>
>>
>> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch31.html>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Attribute inheritance:* Tracked entity attributes can now be defined as
>> “inherited”. In tracker capture, these attributes will be pre-populated
>> when registering new persons in the relationships dialog. This is useful
>> e.g. when registering children in relationship to mothers to avoid having
>> to enter last names / family names.
>>
>>
>>
>> Screenshot

>> *Hide sections:* Program rules let you hide form sections based on

>> skip-logic is needed.
>>
>>
>>

>> *Immediate unique attribute validation:* In person registration forms,
>> unique attributes are validated immediately.

>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>> *Active programs widget:* The dashboard in tracker capture has a new
>> widget for displaying active programs. This is useful to see at a glance
>> which programs this person is enrolled in. You can select which widgets to
>> display on the dashboard from the top-right settings icon. By selecting the
>> “active programs” widget it will be included on the dashboard.

>>
>>
>> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch05.html#d5e995>

>> *Cache instruction per object:* You can set cache lifetime for

>> WEB API FEATURES
>>
>> ---
>>
>>
>>
>> *General-purpose data store:* A new key-value store for JSON data has
>> been introduced in the Web API. This is useful for apps which need storage
>> for app data or settings. The data store provides a namespace, key and JSON
>> value for each record, with optional security per namespace linked to
>> authorities.
>>
>>
>>
>> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s54.html>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Custom logos:* Custom logos for front page and top menu can be uploaded
>> through the new *staticContent* Web API resource. This allows for easy
>> customization of the UI.
>>
>>
>>
>> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s38.html>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Preheat cache option:* All meta-data endpoints support optional preheat
>> of caches, which implies better performance for smaller endpoints.
>>
>>
>>
>> Docs
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s09.html#d5e699>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Enums in data model:* Enums are introduced for all properties with
>> predefined sets of valid options in the the data model. This makes it
>> easier to create apps as you can easily discover valid options for
>> properties through the schemas endpoint. Consult the upgrade notes for a
>> list of changes.

>> TECHNICAL FEATURES
>>
>> ---
>>
>>
>>
>> *Organisation unit hierarchy performance:* Everything related to the org
>> unit hierarchy, including loading of trees, assignment of data
>> sets/programs, org unit search and analytics, now performs much better, as
>> org units are now located in the hierarchy using database queries. A lot of
>> performance improvements have been done in general based on profiling and
>> monitoring.
>>
>>
>>
>> *Temporary resource tables:* Resource tables are written to temporary
>> tables, then swapped with real tables when completed. This removes the
>> timespan when no resource tables were present, causing trouble for SQL
>> views and queries which depended on them.
>>
>>
>>
>> *Translations:* The French UI translation is now complete.
