Hi all, 


DHIS version 2.21 is out with a lot of great new features and improvements. 

Log in with admin/district on the demo system. 

File cloud storage: You can now upload and store large files directly from data 
entry forms. Data elements can have a file value type and render as file upload 
widgets in forms. Files can be stored either on the Web server or sent directly 
to AWS S3 cloud storage, which in practice provides unlimited storage capacity. 
This capability allows you to use DHIS 2 as a general document repository which 
can be utilized for project management, documentation, CMS and many other 
purposes. 

File storage currently works for aggregate data entry forms - tracker coming 
up. Have a look at the “Project management” data set in data entry on the demo: 

Demo | Docs | Screenshot 


Settings app: The settings front-end has been re-written as a true app. It 
features real-time saving, search for settings and a fresh new look. 

Demo | Docs | Screenshot 


Data import constraints: Several optional constraints for data import can be 
enabled to provide stricter control of the data being imported. These include 
require period to be of same type as data set, data element to be assigned to 
data set through org units, and more. The import constraints can be enabled in 
settings app under “data import”. 

Docs 



ANALYTICS FEATURES 
--- 

Functions and variables in program indicators: Program indicators support a 
range of functions and variables. Functions allows for conditional statements, 
calculation of number of days between dates and more. Variables allows you to 
insert e.g. event date, enrollment date and value count into expressions. This 
is useful for example to calculate “inpatient bed days” and complex scores. 

Docs | Demo 1 | 2 | Screenshot 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 


Custom aggregation types: A program indicator now has an aggregation type 
property with the standard options such as sum, avg, count, std dev min, max. 
When set to custom , the indicator expression can contain inline aggregation 
types, allowing for greater control over aggregation. 

Docs | Screenshot 


Program indicators and data elements in GIS: The GIS app lets you analyse 
program indicators, attributes and data elements on maps. 

Demo | Screenshot 1 | 2 


Program indicators in event reports: The individual event overview supports 
program indicators, which allows you to display calculations per event directly 
in the overview. 

Demo | Screenshot 


Download data dump: Pivot table lets you download data in CSV format directly 
without first rendering the data in the Web browser (which might lead to the 
browser freezing for large data volumes). This allows you to download much 
larger batches of data which is useful for later offline analysis. 

Screenshot 


Complete events only option: All analysis apps provides an option for only 
including completed events in the aggregation process. This is useful e.g. to 
exclude partial events in indicator calculations. 

Screenshot 


Full precision option: Pivot table has an option for “skip rounding” of values, 
i.e. full precision of values. This is useful for certain data types such as 
financial data, and when doing calculations in external systems. 

Screenshot 


Aggregation type for attributes: Tracked entity attributes have an aggregation 
type property which lets you control how attributes are aggregated in pivot 
tables, charts and analytics.

TRACKER FEATURES 
--- 


Attribute categories in event capture: Data set categories can be enabled for 
programs without registration and be used in the event capture app. This means 
that events can be attributed to projects and partners just like it can be for 
aggregate data sets. You can enable it by setting a category combination for 
the program. Check it out on the demo for the 

Demo | Screenshot 


Sticky right side widgets: In tracker capture, the right-side widgets can be 
made “sticky”, meaning that they remain at the top of the screen when scrolling 
down the page. You can enable this by clicking the “sticky” icon in the 
top-right corner of the dashboard screen. This is useful for example to display 
key patient information while entering data. 

Screenshot 


Program rule warnings and errors: The program rules let you define warning and 
error messages as actions based on rule evaluation. This is useful e.g. to 
provide assistance and guidance to health workers based on medical best 
practises during consultations. It can also be used for data validation 
purposes, e.g. to provide warnings for values out of range or logical 
violations between data elements. Program rules are supported in tracker 
capture dashboard and event capture. Try it out on the demo with the “WHO RMNCH 
Tracker” program. 

Demo | Docs | Screenshot | 2 | 3 


Program rules for attributes: Tracked entity attributes can be used for program 
rules to create dynamic behavior e.g. in tracker dashboard. 

Docs 


Attribute inheritance: Tracked entity attributes can now be defined as 
“inherited”. In tracker capture, these attributes will be pre-populated when 
registering new persons in the relationships dialog. This is useful e.g. when 
registering children in relationship to mothers to avoid having to enter last 
names / family names. 

Screenshot 


Hide sections: Program rules let you hide form sections based on evaluation of 
rules. This provides more flexibility e.g. for surveys where skip-logic is 
needed. 

Docs 


Immediate unique attribute validation: In person registration forms, unique 
attributes are validated immediately. 

Screenshot 


Active programs widget: The dashboard in tracker capture has a new widget for 
displaying active programs. This is useful to see at a glance which programs 
this person is enrolled in. You can select which widgets to display on the 
dashboard from the top-right settings icon. By selecting the “active programs” 
widget it will be included on the dashboard. 

Screenshot 


Ethiopian calendar support: The Ethiopian calendar is now fully supported in, 
including tracker and aggregate data entry and analytics. 

Screenshot 


Coordinate data element value type: A new data element value type for 
coordinate is available, which will enforce a valid coordinate to be entered 
through data entry forms. 

Docs 


Extended attributes: Dynamic meta-data attributes are supported for category 
options and category option groups. 

Docs | Screenshot 


Cache instruction per object: You can set cache lifetime for individual SQL 
views and standard reports. This means e.g. that certain SQL views can have no 
caching whereas other SQL views can be cached for two weeks, depending on the 
requirement of the SQL view. 

Demo | Screenshot 




WEB API FEATURES 
--- 

General-purpose data store: A new key-value store for JSON data has been 
introduced in the Web API. This is useful for apps which need storage for app 
data or settings. The data store provides a namespace, key and JSON value for 
each record, with optional security per namespace linked to authorities. 

Docs 


Custom logos: Custom logos for front page and top menu can be uploaded through 
the new staticContent Web API resource. This allows for easy customization of 
the UI. 

Docs 


Preheat cache option: All meta-data endpoints support optional preheat of 
caches, which implies better performance for smaller endpoints. 

Docs 


Enums in data model: Enums are introduced for all properties with predefined 
sets of valid options in the the data model. This makes it easier to create 
apps as you can easily discover valid options for properties through the 
schemas endpoint. Consult the upgrade notes for a list of changes. 

Upgrade notes 




TECHNICAL FEATURES 
--- 

Organisation unit hierarchy performance: Everything related to the org unit 
hierarchy, including loading of trees, assignment of data sets/programs, org 
unit search and analytics, now performs much better, as org units are now 
located in the hierarchy using database queries. A lot of performance 
improvements have been done in general based on profiling and monitoring. 

Temporary resource tables: Resource tables are written to temporary tables, 
then swapped with real tables when completed. This removes the timespan when no 
resource tables were present, causing trouble for SQL views and queries which 
depended on them. 

Translations: The French UI translation is now complete.
