Re: Question on tracker dates and effecting limits on dates for which data may be captured

 

Hi Elmarie!

Interesting! 

The mentioned incident and enrollment dates is available in the program rules, with the syntax V{enrollment_date}, V{incident_date} and V{current_date}. See table 30.3 for the full list of supported "variables": http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/user/html/dhis2_user_manual_en_full.html

You want this rule to run on the TEI registration page, preventing the enrollment where there is a sufficiently big gap?

Best regards,
Markus

> For a few of our use cases it would be very useful to limit the data on a program between 2 dates. The dates specified should have some fluidity to it (can be adjusted) as time progress e.g. I would like to specify that users may only enter data for the financial year between 1 April – 31 March of a specific year and next year adjust those dates to the current year. No of periods to allow would not really make sense because that depends on where you are in the year. 
> The implication of leaving these types of dates open to select/enter anything really allows users to capture data for the 1st Century or for 2 years ago and you already concluded an annual report on the data captured for that period which is now being altered by the user selecting an incorrect date. One is not likely to run reports and unless you look for such data in the backend you would never find it.
