Re: DHIS2 Data Dictionary PDF

 

Thanks Randy.



I do honestly appreciate your solution! It will help me in the interim.



In the past we had used the integrated functionality to maintain the data
dictionaries for program information. When we created a new dataset I would
create this for the program to view its elements and indicators along with
their definitions to ensure everything was as they required. We found it
very useful to maintain health data dictionaries this way, but I am not sure
who else would be interested in this?

Understood!  However I found that the format of the existing report was very
limited – it would be nice if we could assign a specific modifiable iReport
or HTML report to the button on the indicator or data element pages.

Thanks Randy that is helpful.



I am just wondering if there is any possibility of returning the previous
functionality as well?

Hi Nic,



We’ve used the custom attributes for indicators and data elements to extend
the data dictionary.



You can use a query like this to pull the indicator metadata and custom
attributes (service category, service sub-category, indicator type, method
of collection, etc…).  Then create a JasperReport (iReport) in whatever
layout you like to print to pdf.  This will also let you list your
indicators in column format.



SELECT

  attribute.name AS attributename,

  attributevalue.value AS attributevalue,

  attribute.sortorder,

  indicator.indicatorid,

  indicator.name,

  indicator.code,

  indicator.description,

  indicator.annualized,

  indicator.numeratordescription,

  indicator.denominatordescription

FROM

  public.attribute,

  public.attributevalue,

  public.indicatorattributevalues,

  public.indicator

WHERE

  attributevalue.attributeid = attribute.attributeid AND

  indicatorattributevalues.attributevalueid =
attributevalue.attributevalueid AND

  indicator.indicatorid = indicatorattributevalues.indicatorid

  order by indicator.name, attribute.sortorder

Thanks Lars that is very helpful.



Are you still able to create these by the data dictionaries you have defined
(as opposed to every data element/indicator), including their other
associated metadata (ie. Definition, numerator, denominator, etc.)?

Hi Nick,



sorry about that. We phased out the code behind that feature and replaced it
by a generic feature in the web api. Apparently we forgot to put a link
back. Will fix.



You can generate pdfs directly from the web api. Go to /api, then
dataElements, then click on the pfd link. You can skip paging with
?paging=false. Example:



http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataElements.pdf?paging=false



regards,



Lars

Hi everyone,



I remember I used to be able to create a PDF of a data dictionary through
the data element management screen. I can’t seem to do this currently. I am
still using 2.13, am I just trying to access this from the wrong place?
Thanks,



Nick
