Hi there,
We're considering using the SMS Commands functionality of DHIS2 to
receive data from the data capture Android App when there is no
internet connectivity.
I'm working from the documentation here:
http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/user/html/mobile_sms_command.html
Unfortunately it still leaves a few questions:
- How do you specify the OrgUnit and Period? Does the discussion from
this thread still apply?
(https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-users/msg06122.html) If so - how
does the parser differentiate when you specify BOTH OrgUnit and
Period? Where does one assign codes to the OrgUnits?
* SMSCommand is associated with a Parser and parser is attached to
certain Programs (with/without registration).
1. Create SMSCommand
2. Edit SMSCommand
3. Set response messages to be sent to the originating user.
4. Set codes for data elements ( for example age, height,
orgunit etc )
*
- What happens when a message is longer than one SMS message?
* When text is longer then one SMS(160 characters) then it will be sent
as multiple SMSes each having <= 160 characters. *
It'd be great to see these answers in the documentation itself.
Thanks,
- Jasper
