Re: Program notifications - where to specify communication formats?

 

Hi Calle,
Great, thanks! In your issue, please specify what you think should be added
for each version separately. The topics explaining program and program
stage notifications are:

- 2.25: https://docs.dhis2.org/2.25/en/user/html/program_notifications.html
- 2.26:
https://docs.dhis2.org/2.26/en/user/html/manage_program_notification.html

Maybe the table in step 6 (program notification) or step 7 (program stage
notification) could help with the understanding of the delivery method?
According to the doc, this functionality has been the same for both 2.25
and 2.26.

Kind regards,
Cecilia
DHIS2 content team
