Hi Zubair,

Thanks for the quick response but I don't think it answered the questions I
asked regarding how to specify the OrgUnit and Period at all.

Also, in the case where no OrgUnit is specified in the SMS, I'm assuming
given there is a 'User belongs to more than one OrgUnit' message that DHIS2
attempts to guess the user by the phone number the SMS was received from
and uses the OrgUnit the user is assigned to?

And for the multiple messages then - I assume you need to split the
submission up into multiple SMSs with the same 'header' (command name,
orgunit, period?) and separate lists of the key,value pairs for the data
elements?

As in:

MSG1 = "report <orgUnitCode> <period> de1,1 de2,0 de3,4"
MSG2 = "report <orgUnitCode> <period> de4,2 de5,2" e.t.c.

Which makes it a bit tricky when it comes to considering the submission
'complete' I suppose. I guess then you'd have to allow partial submissions
to complete the form.

Thanks,

- Jasper
