Subject: [Dhis2-users] DHIS version 2.12 is released
 


Hi all,

DHIS 2 version 2.12 is released. We have some great new features for you:


- All analysis tools are working against the analytics Web API. This means that 
the system is no longer dependent on the resource-demanding data mart process 
and running it is now optional. You can still run data mart and use it for 
custom reports but all analysis tools now read from the analytics tables. These 
tables can be generated ad-hoc from reports module and scheduled in data 
administration module. The analytics API allows you to do a lot more flexible 
dimensional data analysis, for instance like this:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=otVrkxLmBJT



- In data visualizer module you can now do analysis on all fixed and dynamic 
data dimensions. You can select any data dimension and items from the left 
menu. You can also use multiple dimensions as filter. In DHIS 2 you can create 
dynamic data dimensions through data element group sets, org unit group sets 
and categories. For instance we can now create interesting charts where you 
compare immunization doses given at facility (fixed) and outreach:

(Log in with admin/district)

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-visualizer/app/index.html?id=LRFDsb8jcG0

You can make a chart comparing ANC visits for each facility type:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-visualizer/app/index.html?id=iRCGbznvyG8

A chart showing HIV testing broken down on gender:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-visualizer/app/index.html?id=mKjgsRMJt0H

You can also include data element details (category option combos) directly 
under data elements by selecting "Details" as opposed to "Totals" in the drop 
down next to the list of data elements:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-visualizer/app/index.html?id=wbTNJrvfytf


- In pivot table module we have added support for analysis on category based 
dimensions - you can now do analysis based on all fixed and dynamic data 
dimensions. All dimensions can be selected from the menu on the left. You can 
for instance create a pivot table for vaccine doses given broken down on age 
group and facility location like this:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=JsmBGbmRlEu


- In pivot table module you can now download your pivot table to your local 
computer in Microsoft Excel, CSV and HTML format. The downloaded file will have 
the same table layout as you see on the web page. As an example, load a pivot 
table by clicking on the link below, then click on "Download" on the top menu, 
then "Microsoft Excel" under "Table layout".

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-visualizer/app/index.html?id=otVrkxLmBJT

You can also use the pivot table to browse the analytics web api and use the 
download options under "Plain data source" to retrieve the data response.


- Pivot table now supports data interpretations. Load a favorite, click on 
"Share" in the top menu and write your question, comment or interpretation. It 
will become visible in the data interpretation feed in the dashboard.

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dashboard-integration/interpretation.action


- In GIS you can now include data element details (category option combos) in a 
map. For instance you can create a map for ANC 1st visits at facility (fixed) 
like this:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-mapping/app/index.html?id=YOEGBvxjAY0


- Single events without registration (anonymous events) are now supported in 
the Web API. This means that you can send event data from case-based systems 
like EMRs directly to DHIS 2, and create mobile clients for event registrations 
which send event data over HTTP to DHIS 2. Documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch25s07.html


- Data entry for single events without registration now works offline, in the 
same way as the routine data entry. This implies that you can log onto DHIS 2 
in the morning and continue with data entry throughout the day even if Internet 
connectivity is lost or intermittent. Even large option sets for ICD 10 codes 
work offline, and performance is improved in general. Check it out here:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-caseentry/anonymousRegistration.action


- In tracker you can now define program indicators, creating formulas based on 
person data elements in order to make more useful analysis:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-patient/program.action



- In tracker we have a new analysis function which gives completeness for each 
program and its program stages:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-caseentry/programStageCompletenessSelect.action



- Option sets and data elements of type yes-only are now supported in the 
routine data entry module. This will be useful for several use-cases, for 
instance when making facility assessment forms. We recommend sticking with 
numeric option sets and data elements in routine data entry since text cannot 
be aggregated. Check it out by selecting the "Facility assessment" form here:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dataentry/index.action


- Data set report and reporting rate summary now allows you to use all 
organisation unit group based dimensions as filters. For instance you can 
filter your data set report to only include data for a certain facility type. 
Click on "More options" to select the filters in data set report:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-reporting/showDataSetReportForm

Same goes for reporting rate summary:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-reporting/displayViewDataCompletenessForm.action


- Data entry can now be done through PDF files. This implies that data entry 
can be done completely offline and detached from DHIS 2 through the 
well-understood PDF format. You can download PDF form templates from the data 
set module by clicking on the PDF icon. Forms can later be uploaded through the 
import-export module by going to "PDF Data Import". This allows for workflows 
where forms are distributed to remote / mostly disconnected areas, filled and 
returned by email before uploaded to the central instance.

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-dataset/dataSet.action

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-importexport/displayImportDataValueForm.action?importFormat=pdf


- Support for "app" extensions. You can now develop stand-alone apps and use 
them as extensions to DHIS 2. The apps should be based on javascript and HTML 
and use the DHIS Web API for retrieving data. The apps must be packaged 
according to the W3 manifest for Web applications. You can upload the apps in 
the Apps service module. Documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch27.html

You can see the admin module here:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-appmanager/appList.action


- The analytics Web API resource now supports data responses with table layout. 
This means that you can generate ready-made tabular reports in Excel, CSV or 
HTML format straight from the analytics API using dynamic input parameters 
without defining anything up front. This is an example Excel report generated 
on the fly by using the tableLayout, columns and rows query parameters:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/analytics.xls?dimension=dx:fbfJHSPpUQD;cYeuwXTCPkU&dimension=pe:LAST_12_MONTHS&dimension=ou:LEVEL-3-O6uvpzGd5pu&tableLayout=true&columns=dx;pe&rows=ou

You can read the documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch25s19.html


You can download the 2.12 release here:

http://dhis2.org/downloads


You will find documentation here:

http://dhis2.org/documentation


Source code is found here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/2.12


The new analytics engine requires that more of your server resources are 
dedicated towards the database in favor of the Java VM. It also requires that 
you have a fast disk type. We will provide more info about this shortly.


For this release we had source code contributions from PSI and Critical 
software - much appreciated. Also thanks to all developers who have worked very 
hard to finalize all this in only two months. 

Enjoy the new version. Feedback is appreciated.


best regards,


the DHIS 2 development team
