>> Documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch18s02.html#gisEventMap>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Data approval: A work-flow where data must be approved at each level
>> of the organisational unit hierarchy is now supported. Data is approved per
>> data set, time period and organisation unit. Data may be approved for the
>> organisation unit for which it is entered, as well as for higher-level

>> a higher-level organisation unit only after it has been approved for all

>> data set is approved, the form will be locked and any further data entry
>> prohibited.
>>
>>
>>  Data approval is configurable per data set, and can be set in the
>> add/edit data set screen. It comes with two new authorities: “approve data”
>> and “approve data at lower levels”. Data approval happens in data set
>> report in reports module. When a data set report shows data that is
>> configured for approval, it shows the approval status of the data in the

>> for lower level org units to approve”. The approval and un-approval buttons
>> can be found below the actual data set report. Note that approval must

>>
>>
>>  Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-reporting/showDataSetReportForm.action>|
>> Documentation <http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch06.html>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Data set categories: You can now link a data set to a category
>> combination in order to capture information which is common to the entire
>> data set. Typical use-cases are data capture for an implementing partner,
>> funding mechanism or project. Categories and category combinations can now
>> be of type “disaggregation”, representing the kind of categories used for
>> data element disaggregation, or type “attribute”, representing the new
>> categories for data sets.
>>
>>
>>  By linking a category combination to a data set, those categories will

>> mechanism, a project or an implementing partner organisation, and then
>> capture data in a form against that selection. Try it out on the demo by
>> selecting the “ARV monthly summary” data set in data entry module.

>> Screenshot <http://www.dhis2.org/images/214/data-attributes-large.png>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Dynamic person attributes only: All fixed attributes for persons have
>> been removed and replaced with various new types of dynamic attributes,
>> including age, phone number and associate. This avoids previous situations
>> where the system required you to input gender, birth date and so on even if
>> this information was not being collected for persons. The idea is also to

>> equipment, lab samples, boreholes, crops and students. We plan to further
>> generalize the system for next release by replacing "person" with a more
>> generic "tracked entity" and encourage you to be creative when considering
>> new use-cases for tracker.
>>
>>
>>  Demo <http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-caseentry/index.action>
>>

>>
>>  - Support for embedding pivot tables, charts and maps: By going to
>> share > embed as plugin in any of the data visualization modules you can
>> now get the code required to embed your analysis directly in a web page.
>> This lets you build attractive web portals with live data visualized as

>> documentation<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s19.html>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Context menu: The menu system for performing actions on objects in
>> lists has been much improved, and now appears as a nice contextual menu
>> which clearly identifies the available operations. This relieves the user
>> of the previous, confusing long row of similar-looking icons. Try it out on
>> the demo by clicking on any row.
>>
>>
>>  Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-dataset/dataSet.action>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Google Analytics support: You can now set up Google Analytics for
>> your DHIS instance simply by entering the analytics key under settings >
>> general settings > google analytics key. This will let you learn more about
>> how people are using your system, like how many people are regularly
>> logging into the system, utilizing the analysis modules, which favorites
>> are most popular, what devices and browsers are being used, from where are
>> people logging in and what is the average loading time for reports.
>>
>>
>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-settings/systemGeneralSettings.action>| Google
>> analytics <http://www.google.com/analytics/>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Pivot table sorting: Pivot table now supports sorting by columns by
>> clicking directly on the column labels, letting you sort ascending or
>> descending on any column in the table. This enables you to quickly find the
>> highest and lowest values for data elements, indicators and reporting
>> rates. Note that sorting currently works with only one dimension as rows.
>>
>>
>>  Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=NBt7kGTOQTb>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Forced password change: The system can be configured to require users
>> to change their password at regular intervals. From settings > access >
>> Require user account password change you can choose between "3 months", "6
>> months" and "12 months" intervals between each user is asked to update her
>> password. This feature is optional and you can leave it on "never" to
>> disable it.
>>
>>
>>  Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-settings/systemAccessSettings.action>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Interpretations can be edited and deleted by the person writing it.
>> This allows you to modify or correct errors, or remove completely. You can
>> click on the gear icon next to the interpretation or interpretation comment
>> to edit.
>>
>>
>>  Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dashboard-integration/interpretation.action>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Detailed meta-data export: You can now create meta-data export files
>> tailored to your needs. You can freely select from any type of meta-data,
>> and select individual items from any number of object types. This is useful
>> e.g. when you work on a staging server and want to move data sets,
>> indicators and reports over to a production server. Try it out from
>> services > import-export > meta-data detailed export.
>>
>>
>>  Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-importexport/dxf2FilteredMetaDataExport.action>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - GIS has a new admin option for swapping longitude and latitude of
>> points. This is useful when cleaning up wrongly entered coordinates - a
>> typical source of error is users mixing them up.
>>
>>
>>  Screenshot <http://www.dhis2.org/images/214/gis-long-lat-large.png>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Cache problem fix: The system is now using the revision number to
>> retrieve fresh copies of static files on the web server. This will solve
>> the frequent problems we see caused by outdated web browser caches when
>> upgrading to new DHIS versions. The data entry module, which is entirely
>> stored in the browser local storage, will ask for permission to update
>> itself once a new version is available on the server and then download a
>> fresh copy of all files.
>>
>>
>>
>>  - The FRED module (Facility Registry API) has been improved and
>> externalized as a Web App. You can get it from http://appstore.dhis2.org,
>> and try it out on the demo by going to services > FRED UI.
>>
>>
>>  Demo <http://apps.dhis2.org/demo> | App Store<http://www.dhis2.org/appstore>
>>
>>
>>
>>  - Lots of minor fixes to improve usability have been made: Allow for
>> self-registration of users without captcha for intranet contexts. Files
>> uploaded as resources can be flagged for download as attachment as well as
>> rendered inline in browser. Group sets can be configured to be used or
>> ignored as data dimensions. Organisation unit groups can be assigned
>> directly to data sets, allowing for more flexible associations. Data sets
>> can be associated with legend sets for automatic rendering in GIS and pivot
>> table. Content which is stored in the browser’s local storage is separated
>> by user, letting many people use the same computer to enter data without
>> clearing cache. The smartphone mobile client now displays the current data
>> set, period and organisation unit during data entry. Pivot table downloads
>> supports the hide empty rows and show org unit hierarchy options. There
>> have also been several fixes related to IE8.
>>
>>
>>
>> For *developers*, it might be interesting to know that we are constantly
>> rewriting the application to improve the Web API and use it for our own
>> user interface modules. The pivot table, data visualizer and FRED modules
>> have now been rewritten as Web apps<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Quickstart/Build/Intro_to_open_web_apps>,
>> and the Web API has gotten several new resources: data values<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s10.html>,
>> data approval<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s15.html>,
>> plugins <http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s19.html>,
>> translations<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s28.html>and svg
>> conversion <http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s30.html>.
>> The meta-data<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s05.html>resource supports deletion, and has a new option which speeds up minor
>> imports. The event analytics<http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27s23.html>resource supports coordinates.
>>
>>
>>
>> You can *download* the new WAR file and Live package and get the source
>> code and sample database from the web site here:
>>
>>
>> http://www.dhis2.org/downloads
>>
>>
>>
>> You will find *documentation* here:
>>
>>
>> http://www.dhis2.org/documentation
>>
>>
>>
>> We have made a web page for the *highlights* in 2.14 here:
>>
>>
