Re: Org Unit count

 

So how is "Number of health facilities in the catchment area"  populated?
Do people enter this data or is it populated with some script? As Lars
says, DHIS2 will not calculate this somehow automatically, so it must be
coming from somewhere,either by data entry or population by an external
script.

Regards,

Jason
