Hi, 
blueprint for groups: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/program-indicator-groups

As for the tracker data element groups, I didn’t quite understand how that would work?

What I was thinking of was for cases where you have for example discharge diagnosis or deaths, and would like to have a table with diagnosis (rows) and age (columns). Or, I imagine, any circumstance where you have program indicator that could be disaggregated by age or sex, you might want to do something similar (vaccine doses for each antigen vs age; ANC visits vs age of mother etc). Would what you describe work on those cases? The simple examples I mention you could get in event reports, but not the ones requiring a bit more logic.

Secondly, in cases where you have data disaggregated by e.g. age and sex, it is currently quite limited what you can do in the pivot table with program indicators - having program indicator groups that could be used as data dimensions (like data element groups) could help resolve that.
