Re: [Dhis2-devs] Generating Facility Codes for a Facility Registry in Sierra Leone

Second approach sounds most painless to me.

A 3rd approach (shooting from the hip) is to create a postgres trigger
function to generate codes on insert.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] Generating Facility Codes for a Facility Registry in Sierra Leone

Hi All,

Just to clarify this code would be used as a way for a human to refer to the 
facility.  On the back end, we would still very much make use of the UUID as an 
unchanging ID.

[Dhis2-devs] Generating Facility Codes for a Facility Registry in Sierra Leone

[Carl Leitner]

Hi all,
We are looking at using DHIS2 to manage facilities for a Facility Registry in 
Sierra Leone.  One of the requirements is that they have a facility code that 
combines:
an sub-code to indicate the region the facility is in
an incremental counter of the region
These codes don’t need to be immediately available. On a routine basis (e.g. 
nightly) the facility list will be sent to the InterLinked Registry / 
OpenInfoMan for wider sharing for example with mHero.

I don’t think that there is anything to automatically generate codes codes for 
facilities in DHIS2 using rules like the above.   I am looking for some 
suggestions.  A couple of (half-baked) ideas include:
create a DHIS2 Web App to create new facilities with the logic implemented above
create a script that runs on a cron job that will look for any facilities 
without a code and modify their records to add the code based on the rules above
I think the second possibilities would be the simplest to implement.


Cheers,
-carl
