Clarification on "Report date"

 

Hi Devs,

There are a range of dates available for use in program indicators (see
below).


We want to use the "Report date" to simplify things a bit, rather than
using another data element to record the event. We had created a date for
"Admission date" but the default "Report date" is not really important for
analysis purposes, but rather simply the admission date. We can essentially
get the "Report date" from the date the event was created if we really need
it, but like I said, its not important for us. The admission date is really
what counts.

I am assuming that "Description of report date*" in the program stage UI
refers to "Incident date" but I am not quite sure. Are all of these dates
different somehow than "Report date" which is mandatory for events?

Regards,
Jason
