Hi Jan/Abyot,

This feature of DHIS 2.25 is extremely useful for us in terms of knowing
and analyzing patients' geo-locations.

Could you please let us know​ an approximate timeline around which
visualization will be supported for data element of type Organization Unit.
Also, which version of DHIS2 will support it?



*Cheers,*
