Hi all,


DHIS 2 version 2.2 is now released and we have a nice list of improvements
for you. Please note that the demo username / password is admin / district


- Messaging: Users with authorization can now send messages to any other
user which will show up in the dashboard. This will be useful for notifying
end users eg. about new DHIS functionalities, new reports available, data
submission deadlines etc.

- Excel pivot table tool: Easy-to-install tool for "semi-online" data access
and analysis. Install at your local computer, synchronize with online server
when network is available, then view your data in Excel pivot tables at any
time. Download from here:

- Improved charts and dashboard: Pie charts and 3-dimensional charts are now
available. Bar-charts can have static horizontal target lines. Dashboard can
have a customizable number of charts (change it in user settings).

- GIS: Google maps available as background layer, including the hybrid
satellite map.

- Light-weight dashboard optimized for touch screens: Experimental module
for touch screens / small screens which provides the user-selected charts,
report tables and documents from the web-based dashboard.

- Data set reports with sub-totals and totals for section based data entry
forms: Improves the ability to separate between data entry and data analysis
as sub-totals and totals now can be provided automatically. (Eg. see data
set PHUF 2 for 2010.)

- Data set assignment editor: Easy-to-use interface for batch assignment of
data sets to organisation units.


http://dhis.uio.no/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-dataset/displayEditorForm.action

- Improved data mart performance: Average processing time is down 40 % and
there are no limitation on number of data elements.

Note that the preferred approach is to let data mart export happen at night
(Reports - Scheduling) and have the aggregation strategy set to "Batch"
which means that all report tools will fetch aggregated data directly from
the data mart which speeds up report generation tremendously (Settings -
System Settings - Aggregation strategy).
