Offline data entry: > > Data can now be entered while being disconnected from the Internet. > You need to be online while logging onto the data entry module - the > very first time this will take a few extra seconds (7+ depending on > the connection) since all meta-data are downloaded and stored in your > browser in the background. Its cool, try it out yourself: > > - Open the data entry module, select an organisation unit, data set > and period. Punch in a few data values. (Use your local IP address if > testing locally.) > > - Disconnect yourself from the Internet. Notice how the system detects > your offline status and displays a notification. > > - See how everything works as before: You can continue to expand, > collapse and select organisation units from the tree. You can select > data sets and periods. Forms are loaded as usual. You can continue to > enter data values and mark data sets as complete for as long as you > want. > > - Re-connect to the Internet. See the notification from the system > explaining that you have locally stored data, and click "upload" to > send the data to the server.

Using the myDatamart tool she can also do > offline data analysis. > > > > 2. GIS symbol layer: > > 1. The menu system has had an overhaul: The left-side menu is gone and > the layer and map-view information has been put on the top bar to make > it more accessible and give more space for the map itself. Information > about the current selection for each layer is displayed in the > right-side menu. Map-views can be loaded into specific layers, making > it possible to load different map-views into multiple layers at the > same time. > > 2. A new "Symbol layer" is available. (Sorry for the confusion - the > current symbol layer has been renamed to "Facility layer".) This makes > it possible to do thematic mapping where images/symbols represent the > values rather than colors. One use case for this is displaying weather > data relevant for Malaria outbreak monitoring on the maps - think > weather forecast with suns and rain clouds. > > - Define symbols/images as regular "Predefined legend sets", make sure > you select "Image" as symbolizer rather than "Color" (we will add more > symbols later). > > - Open "Symbol layer" from the top bar, layer section (4th icon from > the left). Select indicator, period and organisation units as usual. > Select your preferred legend set and click "Update". > > > > > > We are hoping for your participation and feedback. The final 2.4 > release will be on Friday 26. > > > > best regards, > > > the DHIS 2 development team > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs > Post to : dhis2-devs@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > -- Samuel Cheburet Ministry Of Health P.O.
