Hi all,

Our HIV team works with civil society organizations and local partners to track a very simple list of services provided to persons living with HIV/Aids.

The data elements themselves are all numeric so it would be easy to do in a regular data set, except that partners don't fit well in the reporting hierarchy which goes from Province -> district -> sub-district -> sector -> health facility.

Data entered are total numbers per district per partner.

For example, a partner (FHI) might work in several districts, so there would be more than one FHI report for a given period.

I've thought of creating a separate partner's table and entering a partner numeric code as one of the fields that could called up in a special report, but referential integrity rules won't let me enter more than one data value record per period per district.

We can create the report using the Single Event Without Registration feature in Individual Records, using an Option set to maintain the list of partners, but unfortunately we can't seem to use any of this data in the dashboard, data visualizer, maps or standard reports.

If Single Event Without Registration is the only way to enter the data, would it not be possible to expose the dataelements for use with the standard reporting tools?

I remember Jason had to develop this sort of relationship for some work he did in Zambia but I'm not sure if it is documented somewhere.

Thanks,

Randy
