Hi Edwin

This module (for better or for worse) doesn't make use of the openmrs
reporting framework.  It works on the basis of reading the metadata for the
dhis2 report (the dataelements) and mapping each of those to a SQL query.
 This make it highly suitable for (i) very customised openmrs deployments
and (ii) when you have many reported dataelements which don't easily derive
from cohort indicators.

If you have an existing custom report you might want to take a different
approach.  I guess there are a couple.  Not sure exactly what "custom
report" means but if it can be rendered as an xml then I think I would look
at creating a custom xslt to perform the required mapping and
transformation to produce a dxf2 dataset and then either push through api
or transport and import "manually".

Either approach is feasible.  Are you looking from the position of a single
facility, or looking at something which needs to work across many
facilities?  Where the openmrs metadata is not well coordinated between
facilities, it can be really difficult to do the mapping over and over.

Bob
