Subject: [Dhis2-users] DHIS version 2.11 is released
 



Hi all,

DHIS version 2.11 is out and we have some great features for you:


- Web-based pivot table: Allows you to create pivot tables with data aggregated 
along all data dimensions, including data element/organisation unit group sets. 
Data dimensions can be arranged freely on columns, rows and as filters. You can 
include totals and subtotals on all axis and control the table density and font 
size under options. Your pivots can be saved as favorites and downloaded to 
your local computer. This design goal is to allow users to create their own 
reports with the data they need without any involvement of super-users.

A pivot table with immunization indicators for last 4 quarters by facility 
ownership, type and location can be made like this (log in with admin/district):

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=XWXTmFUffng

A pivot table with number of diagnosis by facility ownership and type with 
totals and subtotals looks like this (notice that diagnosis are data element 
groups): 

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=vlnZeGhgw1T

A pivot table for vaccines, broken down on categories, age group and point of 
service, last 12 months:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=z31v4RMNqnu

A pivot table with reporting rates, major forms for public facilities by 
location and type, last 12 months:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=VHewKMjyLnR

We encourage you to play around - select dimension items for the left menu and 
arrange dimensions from "Layout" in the top menu. Documentation can be found 
here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch15.html



- Data analytics Web-API resource: A flexible API for retrieving aggregated, 
analytical data for all data dimensions using a simple query syntax. The pivot 
table module is built on top of this API. It allows developers of third-party 
apps and web portals to connect to DHIS 2 and query for any type of aggregated 
data, where any number of dimensions and filters can be specified. Data can be 
retrieved in json, jsonp, xml, csv, html and xls (Excel) format and responses 
can be constrained with criteria like greater than, equals and so on.

A query for retrieving data for certain data elements, periods and organisation 
units might look like this:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/analytics?dimension=dx:fbfJHSPpUQD;cYeuwXTCPkU&dimension=pe:2012Q1;2012Q2&dimension=ou:O6uvpzGd5pu;lc3eMKXaEfw

Documentation can be found here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch25s18.html



- Sharing: Several objects including chart, pivot table, map, indicator and 
data set can now be shared and have fine-grained access control. An object can 
be made private to yourself, shared with any number of user groups or be made 
available for all. You can grant edit or view-only rights to other people. You 
can create user groups directly from the dashboard. Who should be allowed to 
create public objects can be controlled through user roles.

This functionality is useful for example in a scenario where entities like 
health programs and implementing partners need to create indicators and reports 
which should be available only for members of their organisation. In this case, 
an organisation can create a user group for their staff, then develop charts 
and maps which could be made available for that organisation only. General 
reports made by the ministry could still be shared with all and made publicly 
available. 

Another use-case is that of an international NGO with operations in multiple 
countries. Here, user groups could be set up for each country and indicators, 
resources, charts and reports which are country-specific could be made 
available for staff working in that country only, without appearing in lists 
for staff working in other countries. Indicators and reports which are 
applicable for all counties could be made accessible for all. The sharing 
solution also opens up for great possibilities when combined with the 
self-registration of user account feature.

- DXF 2 meta-data exchange: You can now import and export a complete set of 
objects in the aggregate part of the system, including data sets, custom data 
entry forms, maps, charts and option sets. Import/export of meta-data objects 
now uses the new DXF 2 format. Import/export can also be done through the 
meta-data Web API resource. This greatly improves the ability for meta-data 
exchange between DHIS 2 instances and third-party systems.

Documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch19.html


- HTML-based standard reports: You can now develop standard reports in pure 
HTML and Javascript. This requires a little bit of development skills but 
allows for creating pixel-perfect reports tailored to most needs. It is 
especially flexible when used in combination with the analytics Web API, where 
aggregated data can be pulled out of the system and positioned in the report 
according to your needs.

An example of such a report can be viewed here:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-reporting/generateHtmlReport.action?uid=fqERdm6UtkI&ou=ImspTQPwCqd

Documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch14s04.html#d5e2332


- Multi-organisation unit data entry: You can now do data entry for multiple 
organisation unit in the same form. This is useful for instance in scenarios 
where you have section forms with few data elements and an organisational 
hierarchy with hospitals with multiple wards below, as it allows you to do fast 
data entry for all wards at the same time. To enable it, go the system general 
settings and enable "multi-organisation unit forms", then go to data entry and 
select the organisation unit above the ones you want to enter data for.

Documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch09s02.html#d5e1122


- Tracker ad-hoc aggregate reports: You can now do on-the-fly aggregation of 
tracker data in tabular reports. Define aggregation queries with filters or 
group statements and view the results instantly. Create reports like top 10 
diagnoses from inpatient admissions, save as favorite and run the report again 
whenever you like. You can check it out here:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-caseentry/app/index.html


- Tracker program statistics reports: Tracker now comes with better out of the 
box statistics to program managers. Monitor new enrollments, programs 
completed, and drop-outs. Also analyse in detail from each stage how many 
visits are done, completed and overdue. Try it out on the demo here:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-caseentry/statisticalProgramReportSelect.action


- Tracker general improvements: The tracker module is rapidly being improved 
and the user experience is improved in person dashboard, case-based tabular 
reports, person aggregation and program maintenance.

The tracker user guide can be found here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch24s02.html#d5e5474


- Facility registry Web API resource: DHIS 2 now implements the API 
specification made by the FRED project. This means that DHIS 2 can be 
considered a feasible facility registry. More info here:

http://facilityregistry.org


- Model changes: Indicator formulas, validation rule formulas and custom data 
entry forms are now using UIDs (stable identifiers) which makes it possible to 
transfer these easily between systems. Category options can now be re-used 
within many categories which improves analysis and naming conventions.


- Miscellaneous: Report table supports weekly periods. Data visualizer has an 
improved favorite user interface, making it consistent with pivot table and 
GIS. Touch-friendly navigation for help and profile items (click on help or 
profile in top menu). 

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-commons-about/functions.action


- The scheduling functionality has been improved. As a consequence you must 
re-set your scheduled jobs after upgrading in data administration -> scheduling.
