Dear all,

I am working on several Tracker programs, and we will be recording the village 
of origin.

Tacker enables to captures coordinates, but they will be (most probably) 
different from one case to the other as it is designed to be able to map the 
exact location of the entity. And I know you can then use the new cluster  
features in GIS.

But I would like to aggregate the cases by villages of provenance. Having one 
free text box to indicate the village name is not useful for this. So I am 
wondering if any of you have already found wise ways of doing it.

Here are my first ideas, but would like to have your opinion before testing 
them:

1)      Create org units for each village, but:

a.      I fear the org unit will be very long to charge then

b.      The cases are registered at health facility level in the org unit tree, 
not village level

2)      Create an option set with villages, but:

a.      I fear it will be impossible to load...

b.      Don't know if it can be dynamic (if you choose a district, you just see 
the villages of this district) (I think I was told it was not possible to do)

3)      Create a program to register the villages, and use the relationship 
feature (my favourite idea so far, anyone tried it?)

4)      Create a program to register the villages, and use them through another 
path. I know Uganda HISP showed something in Oslo, but I imagine this require 
coding?

Looking forward to reading your ideas!

Lise
