That's a lot of clicks…. Agree that it would be a good idea to support check-boxes, I'm not sure why it isn't currently.

> Hi Olav. I'm assuming that you don't allow an 'Option Set' on the Aggregated forms because there isn't any aggregation (sum, avg) that you can do we that sort of values (well, you can do count..). Still I think it will be useful, because there are calculation (indicators) or validations that you will be able to do with that info. But that's for another day.

What I plan to do is to calculate a performance index based on the number of yes for the bi-annual questionnaire that needs to be run in all facilities. The reason that I will prefer a tick box, rather than the current drop down of Yes/No/False, is to improve user experience by having a single click/ finger action. If you think that these forms will have 150+ questions, run every 6 months, in 300 facilities... that's about 90,000 mouse clicks (or finger clicks) that I can save to the 15 facility coordinators that are responsible for this process in Kenya. We have similar questionnaires that we want to implement using DHIS in other 45 countries: so we can improve PSI facility supervisors' work by eliminating up to 4m clicks (mouse or finger) every year !

It will great if it does, as it will improve significantly the use of DHIS on a tablet - I'm trying to do a long questionnaire that needs to be run every 6 months, and the people running the survey will complete it using a tablet. Most of the questions are True/False. At the moment a Yes/No/Null means two interaction: one to open the drop-down, one to select; a Tick-box will be a single interaction, and when completing over 100+ questions, it will make a significant difference to the users.

>>> Hi everyone - I have a question about the rendering on Option Sets and Yes-Only on DataSets (Aggregated). On Tracker (DataElement.Domain = Patient), OptionSet and Yes-only data elements successfully render as either a dynamic drop-down or a tick box. But on Aggregated they render as a simple text box. On the other hand, Yes/No does render as a drop-down. Is this a bug or is this on purpose? I'm using multiple versions of DHIS, including the latest release of 2.11.
