Re: Custom Form Dataset

 

You are right, since you can't use an indicator in the formula for another indicator, I can see why you want to convert the calculated field to data values. However, you can duplicate the population calculation in each indicator definition - and now you can use system constants to store the percentages so that you can modify them in one place and it will change all of your indicator calculations without editing them.  Your approach also creates a lot of extra data elements in the system.

Hi @Randy,
The problem is not the javascript code since it works well. The problem is that in place to record in the database since all people are dataelements although others derive the AS population, but the system only records the AS population in postgresql datavalue table.

Hi Riddy,

You can probably achieve the same result by creating indicators and including them in your custom form.

We do the same thing in Rwanda, but apply standard percentage constants for children under 1 year (3.83%), women of reproductive age (26.3%), etc...

If your Javascript function has more smarts (e.g. needs to lookup a percentage that is different for each district before calculating the result) then your approach make more sense.

I just customize the form of a Dataset as shown in the image attached.
  This dataset has 11 items of data:
    population-AS
    population-0-11months
    population-6-11months
   -etc.

I added a JavaScript function that once it enters the value of the AS population and the field loses focus, the other people who depend on the population AS load automatically. It works well. but the problem is that when I click on "complete". it works fine ... but when I go on datavalue postgresql table to check if the data I have entered entries, I see that given the AS population. The other values of the people do not come.

I also put in the home page with javascript code
