>> TRACKER FEATURES
>>
>> ---
>>
>> Tabular data entry widget: Tracker capture has a new data entry widget
>> that allows for tabular-style data entry. It displays the list of program
>> stages as left-hand side labels. Events will be listed in table for
>> repeatable program stage, and allows for in-line edits of event data
>> values. The widget can be enabled from the tracker dashboard by going to
>> gear icon > Show/hide icons and selecting “Tabular data entry”.

>>
>>
>> Improved program rules: There are two new types of actions for program
>> rules. These allow consolidated errors and warnings when events is
>> completed (in tracker capture) and saved/updated (in event capture). This
>> is useful when there is a combination of things in the form that should
>> trigger an error/warning, whereas each single data element might be legal
>> in itself. One such example is conditional mandatory fields. Check out the Antenatal
>> care visit program program on the demo.
