Importing Org Units with custom attributes via CSV
Hi all,
Im updating some village coordinates via CSV. To keep a record of this
update, Ive created a new OU attribute for "geo source". This attribute is
an option set of values.
Where do I place this new attribute in the CSV file for upload?
I have been following the column order outlined here:
http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/2.22/en/developer/html/dhis2_developer_manual_full.html#d4967e995
Of course, the import ignores the top row, so when I add the name or code
of the "source" attribute to the right of "coordinates", it does not update.
Theres likely a way to do this via API, but Im trying to create an excel
template so non-technical people can regularly check village coordinates
against an updated list, and directly upload a CSV themselves. If its not
possible, I'll just overwrite the existing "comment" or "description"
fields with "geo source" values.
for reference Im using version 2.21
Thanks all,
Brian
