Hi all,
DHIS version 2.26 is out with many new features, apps and improvements.
Log in with admin/district on the demo system.
ANALYTICS FEATURES---
Enrollment analytics: Program indicators can now utilize a new aspect of the
analytics engine for program enrollments. This implies that you can compare
data values and dates from different stages and events within the an
enrollment. This allows for calculation of indicators such as “average
inpatient bed days” and “Hemoglobin improvement since first visit”. Demo |
Screenshot | Docs
Daily relative periods: You can now use daily relative periods in the analytics
apps. This is particularly useful when looking at aggregate event data through
the pivot table app, as you can see daily aggregates of events, such as today,
yesterday, and last 3, 7, 14 days.
Demo 1 | 2 | Screenshot
Data element event clustering in GIS: Using the event layer in the GIS app, you
can now specify which data element or attribute to use as basis for event
analytics and clustering. The data item must be of value type coordinate. As an
example, for a malaria case program, you can have data elements of type
coordinate for place of infection and household location, and visualize those
locations on the map for the malaria cases.
Demo | Screenshot | Docs
Pivot table cell background coloring: You can now specify whether to color the
cell text or cell background of pivot tables based on legend sets. This allows
e.g. for creating scorecards, where high and low values easily can be
identified. Go to Pivot table > Options > Legend display style.
Demo | Screenshot | Docs
Analytics group sub-hierarchy inclusion: Org unit group sets have a new option
for including the sub-hierarchy of organisation units in groups when
aggregating data in analytics apps. This can simplify org unit management when
there are many org units at the bottom of the hierarchy which should all belong
to an org unit higher up in the hierarchy. As an example, you can create
additional hierarchies by grouping all facilities in multiple districts
together in a group, then assign the new groups to an org unit group set.
Demo 1 | 2 | Screenshot 1 | 2 | Docs 1 | 2
GIS improvements: Labels are positioned smarter on the map to avoid collisions.
Interactivity on boundary layer is disabled when combined with thematic layer.
Automatic color scales for thematic maps can be flipped (i.e. low to high vs
high to low).
Demo | Screenshot
Most viewed favorites: The opening screen of the pivot table apps now displays
link to the top 10 most viewed favorites for the current user. This provides
you with quick access to your most relevant data.
Demo | Screenshot
Expected reports in analytics: In reporting rate analytics in pivots and
charts, the number of expected reports are always shown even if no completeness
registrations exist.
Demo | Screenshot
Analytics performance improvements: Analytics table generation and analytics
queries performance has been significantly improved. Depending on the system
configuration, the improvement is in the range of 20 to 40%.
Demo
Better interpretations: The interpretations app has been rewritten and now
provides support for event reports and event charts, using the dynamic
visualization plugins and provides a better commenting solution.
Demo | Screenshot
GENERAL FEATURES---
Explicit open periods for data entry: You can now specify explicitly which
periods should be open for data entry per data set. You can also specify when
those periods will be made available for data entry. This is useful when you
need finer control over which periods should be possible to enter data for and
when you need to schedule these periods to become open at specific times.
Screenshot | Docs
Validation notification templates: You can now specify templates for
notifications which are to be sent for data validation violations. The
templates gives you full control over the notification text and supports
variables for injecting the org unit name, period, validation rule and current
date.
Demo | Screenshot | Docs
Event data in validation rules: You can now use program data elements, tracked
entity attributes and program indicators inside validation rules. Aggregated
values from the event analytics engine will be utilized when the validation
rules expressions are evaluated. This allows for combining routine data and
event data in the same validation rule. This is useful e.g. in order to compare
thresholds collected as routine data with disease cases reported as events.
Validation rule management is now available in the maintenance app.
Demo | Screenshot | Docs
Translations app: A new app for translation database content in bulk has been
included. This app makes translating lots of metadata much faster as you can
select the object type, then translate all objects from within a list. Open it
from Apps > Translations.
Demo | Screenshot
Category combination metadata export: The metadata export with dependencies now
supports export of category combos, which will include all related category
objects. This is useful when exchanging metadata between instances.
Demo | Screenshot
Auto-select single options in data entry: In Data Entry app, when the data set
or category selections only have one option, that option will be automatically
selected. This can make data entry more efficient.
Screenshot
Automatic totals in section forms: Section forms can be configured to display
totals for columns and rows in aggregate data entry. Set it up from maintenance
> data sets > sections. Check out the “reproductive health” data set on demo.
Demo | Screenshot | Docs
Assign message to user: In the Messaging app, a message can now be assigned to
a DHIS 2 user. This allows you to treat messages as support tickets and assign
them to users (agents). Only users part of the “feedback recipient” user group
have access to this feature.
Demo | Screenshot | Docs
TRACKER FEATURES---
Age value type: Data elements and attributes supports a new value type “Age”.
This will render as a widget in event / tracker capture apps which allows for
specifying the age in weeks, months or years. The selected input will be
converted to a date of birth. This is useful e.g. to simplify input of age at
point of care.
Screenshot
Google base maps for coordinate picker: When capturing coordinates in event
capture and tracker capture you can now switch between using Google Maps and
OpenStreetMap as base map.
Screenshot
Hide program stage program rule action: Program rules now support an action for
hiding program stages. This is useful e.g. for disease case investigations,
where various stages are relevant only for certain diseases.
Screenshot
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION FEATURES---
Analytics cache of old data: A new system setting for caching of analytics data
is introduced, where data older than a specified number of years will be
cached. This is useful as you can avoid caching of the latest data, while older
data which never change can be cached.
Docs
Public/private analytics cache setting: A new system setting for controlling
whether cached analytics data should be public or private, meaning whether
proxies should be able to cache the content. This is useful for improving
security of sensitive data while still allowing web browsers to cache the
content.
Docs
Approval in analytics threshold setting: A system setting which defines for how
many years back in time approval should be relevant is available. After the
specified number of years, the all data becomes available in analytics even if
unapproved. This means data will automatically be approved and visible after a
given number of years, allowing for pruning the approval table and ensure
system performance is not degrading.
Docs
Env variables in config: Environment variables are now supported in the
dhis.conf configuration file. This allows for externalizing e.g. database
connection information such as URL, user and password instead of storing it
directly in the config file. This is useful for server administration and for
cloud environments.
Docs
User account lockout: The system now supports locking user account for 15
minutes after five successive failed login attempts. This is useful to prevent
brute-force authentication attacks.
Docs
Configurable session timeout: The session timeout can now be configured from
the dhis.conf configuration file. This is useful to comply with specific
security regulations.
Docs
WEB API FEATURES---
Analytics raw data: A new resource for retrieving analytical data without
aggregation is introduced at /api/analytics/rawData. This resource lets you
retrieve raw data denormalized across any data dimension. This is useful when
integrating third-party BI / analytics tools, as you will get data values with
all data dimensions “flattened out” without any pre-aggregation, allowing the
external tool to perform the aggregation and filtering.
Docs
Pre-aggregation measures in analytics: The analytics API lets you specify
measure criteria to be applied before data aggregation takes place. This allows
for better filtering of data before aggregating.
Docs
Filter operators in SQL views: You can now use the fields filtering syntax
known from the metadata API on SQL views. This allows you to fetch only the
fields (columns) you are interested in from large SQL views.
Demo | Docs
Prune data element: Data elements with corresponding data and audit values can
be pruned using the /api/maintenance/dataPruning resource.
Docs
Data set completeness exchange: The API resource for import and export of data
set completeness records has been rewritten and is now a lot more scalable and
supports more features for controlling what to exchange.
Docs
Soft event delete: Events are now deleted “softly”, meaning marked as deleted
instead of being removed in the database. The events resource can include
deleted events in the response, allowing clients to handle events which have
been deleted on the server.
