Thanks, Edem.  I guess I should have given the use case.

 

Country X frequently divides its districts for political and managerial
reasons.  Indicator target values, population figures used as
denominators and maps with the new districts may not be available
immediately (if ever), so it will frequently be desirable to display
results using a previous version of district definitions in order to
show a longer time period.  I was hoping to represent this by having
multiple levels of district corresponding to each successive version of
the definitions.  So I wanted to leave some unused level numbers between
the current districting and the (presumptively) unchanging
sub-districts, so the sub-district level number would always be the same
despite the number of versions of districting incorporated.

 

 

 

Perhaps there is some way of maintaining alternative hierarchies that I
haven't thought of.

Dear Roger,
DHIS2 identifies sequentially the different levels  but you are free to
give them the name you want.  However it is better if you want to use
numbers to identify your levels to do it incrementally. Because if you
name level 5 as level 8, you will introduce some confusion for other
administrators especially when it comes to execute some sql queries
using orgunitstructure table with levels. I mean level 8  -as child of
level 4 in your case -  will mean level 5 in dhis2 logic instead. The
possibility given to users to rename the levels is meant to provide more
meaningful level names like national, region, district, facility, etc.
Thanks

Edem

            Do org unit levels need to be numbered sequentially?   That
is, can I have a level 8 org unit as a child of a level 4 org unit?

	Thanks, Roger
