Hi Busoye, How many indicators do I need in the sample form I posted? I could use indicators but then, I would need 4 indicators per data element. My question is, is there a better way of doing this or a better way of structuring my indicators? If I go with my initial approach, then I would need 56 Indicators for my 14 data elements.
There should be a better way of doing this. On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 12:12 PM, Adebusoye Anifalaje <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Moses, > I have worked on a similar use case.
