Re: [Dhis2-devs] Capture coordinates

 

Hi Jason,

What I am asking for is a little bit different (I don't know if this is
possible), I'll try to explain myself:

Let's say we are in Sierra Leone at the Ngelehun CHC. We are capturing data
in the "Inpatient morbidity and mortality program".
Currently, every new event registration requires us to introduce the
coordinates of Ngelehun CHC manually, so my question is: Is there any way
to automatize this? (The event coordinates we have to introduce every time
for each event are the same as Ngelehun CHC coordinates)

I hope my question is more clear now.

Regards.
