Hi,

Value types ORGANISATION_UNIT and COORDINATE are new additions. Handling
the data entry part is the first step, the next step is the analysis part
which is coming.

Probably a mistake to have a half baked solutions. However, there are users
who export data and do visualizations using separate systems.
