Re: Data elements assignation

 

Hi Mamadou,

I agree with Michael that the most flexible way is to use the web API and
create a JSON structure (e.g. with MS Excel), in particular
https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_metadata_crud.html#webapi_adding_removing_objects_collections

However, if you find this too cumbersome, you could do something like this:

1) Give your dataelements a unique PREFIX to enable you to filter them out
2) Import them as CSV
3) Create a group for them
4) Go to the group editor, filter and select:
https://play.dhis2.org/2.28/dhis-web-maintenance/#/group-editor
5) Create your dataset and filter by the group

The problem with this method is the PREFIX which you may not want to keep..
