Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone has experience in auto-generating Unique Identifier
Codes (UICs) in tracker capture module (v2.25 or below), or if there is a
best practices document out there.

We are capturing sensitive information about clients through android
tracker. The service provider would like to capture name and phone number
data, but restrict viewing of these data to higher-level users. Data entry
roles should only be able to search based on a system-generated UIC. You
should be able to construct and re-construct UICs based on client data, as
in the diagram from PSI below.

So we do not need a randomly generated ID for the tracked entity, but a
script which constructs a custom string attribute based on other tracked
entity attributes, similar to this app, but built directly into DHIS2 form:

I am not the only one who has requested this (
https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-devs/msg47211.html) but I cannot find a
manual or correspondence online. Happy to provide more details on use case
on request.

Brian
