As far as I can see you are right .. there is no parent field in the listed orgunits at api/organisationUnits which you would need to construct the hierarchy. You can get this information however by querying the metadata as a more complete collection: eg http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/metaData.xml This will give you the list of orgunits with parent field and also conveniently in order from top of the tree down to the base (a breadth-wise traversal). You should be able to construct your javascript or html UI with this data. There are also some options to restrict whether *only* orgunits are shown but I can't remember them offhand. Once I've looked up I'll let you know. Cheers Bob > > Thanks, > Alice > > > On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 5:02 PM, Bob Jolliffe <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Sure.
