Hi Omer,

>In second row same elements are used again to save data for page 2 ,page 3
etc.

Yes, that is NOT going to work, because you would end up overwriting the
values in the database which you entered in the first row. You must
therefore have an additional dimension to cater for the "pages" dimension
in the form, which could be done (although I would not recommend it) with
the category combo dimension.

In order to use the aggregate data entry module, you MUST define the
dimensionality up front. If you have 10 pages or a 100 pages, then those
must be known before data entry begins. You could use the form to display
them to the user as they want, but the dimensionality must be present
either as separate data elements, or with the use of a category option
combo. Otherwise, it simply is not going to work in DHIS2. The aggregate
data entry module is not designed to handle any number of values, for a
given data element/period/category combination. There can only be a a
single value.

The way that the data looks, it really would be better suited to the event
capture module. In that case, you could have any number of pages which
could be entered.

Regards,
Jason
