Hi John, Not really sure the entire approach makes sense. For the tracker module, you would typically have a tracker data element like
"Received HIV prevention capacity building through step-down technical assistance" which would be a boolean (True/False). This would represent an event. Did they receive capacity building or did they not? If you are registering people then you would need to register the person obviously, and provide their gender and something like "Affiliation", which would need to be a "Person attribute" with "Predefined values" corresponding to the options "NGO, CBO, ....". A slightly different but similar approach would be needed for anonymous events. In the aggregation query builder, you would then need to map each of the different combinations to the correct category option, such as If "Received HIV prevention capacity building through step-down technical assistance" = TRUE AND Gender = Male and Affiliation = "NGO" were all true, this would get mapped to the corresponding aggregate data element "Number of individuals who Received HIV prevention capacity building through step-down technical assistance" in the male/NGO category combo option. I This is how I understand it anyway, but there are others out there who understand this module better than me. :) Regards, Jason On Sat, Jul 27, 2013 at 12:49 PM, John Ojo <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All, > > I have noticed that data elements defined with Patient Domain type cannot > have category combinations.
