Re: [Dhis2-users] Skip logic not working on custom form in Event capture app
Would it maybe make sense to make a new format for the custom forms that are Angular-dependent? With Angular, the custom forms could potentially become much more powerful?

Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] dhis2 system administration list
Hi, I did some analysis of the email messages on our dev and users lists (for research purposes), not looking at the content, but at the number of messages and number of people. Since 2011, the number of 'listeners' to these lists have grown tremendously, although the number of messages has remained quite constant (I only counted messages sent from people, not machines so not counting automated messages). This leads me to believe that maybe we could have a discussion on how these lists could work better. Could it be that there are many people out there who maybe would like to ask questions but are afraid to do so because several hundred people will get their email? For some type of questions, would other formats be better? Stackexchange-like messaging? Forum-based messaging? Jason has a good point with this. But different discussions have different 'optimal' media... Anyway, I'm jus throwing this into the discussion. To keep to the topic, I think a sysadm list could be useful. Best regards, Lars 2014-10-09 13:34 GMT+02:00 Jason Pickering jason.p.picker...@gmail.com: Hi Bob, I see the need, but am a bit concerned about establishing another mailing list. You can see from the dev list, that there are A LOT of non-dev topics already. Some of these are implementation issues, some end-user support, and a small smattering of Java jabberwocky. The dev list has sort of become the default mailing list for everything, and this is where people tend to go for support. The user list receives much less traffic, in spite of the fact that most of what is on the dev list is really not development related. While I think it is a good idea, there is inertia to overcome. Another idea which we have been contemplating is the establishment of a forum. This came out of the meeting in Oslo a few weeks back. I have been working with Lars Helge on this, but there is some more work which needs to be done before it would even be ready for testing. However,maybe a forum would be a better media for such discussions? Regards, Jason On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 12:06 PM, Alex Tumwesigye atumwesi...@gmail.com wrote: Brilliant idea. Let's go for it.

A slight detour of the thread, but how about a server side apps part for gsoc. So we can process the web api on the server on behalf of the client.

And given how much easier the auto-generated forms are than designing your own, it would be great to expand the number of cases that one can use auto-generated forms for. Developing a detailed proposal for this sounds like a very useful effort. Any takers? I quite agree that we should provide tools for people who are not programmers allowing them to configure what they want. My question about the appropriate use of apps isn't really focused on when do we expect users to write their own. It's more the question of when are features provided in the core vs. when are they provided in the app store. Speaking of which, if we provide general-purpose, configurable apps in the app store, I wonder how we can provide a user-friendly way to customize app metadata through DHIS, so the user wouldn't have to edit the manifest file inside the app. We could extend the DHIS UI to be able to configure app-specific metadata settings for an app that has been uploaded. I wonder if the app manifest itself could describe the various system settings choices to be made (e.g., the allowable numeric range of a metadata setting, the list of choices, etc.) I'm not familiar enough yet with the app manifest format to know whether it supports this already, or how awkward it might be to graft it on. I known that OpenMRS modules, for example, can add their own settings section to the OpenMRS UI, so they can be configured through OpenMRS. The end result is that the non-programmer user can simply download an OpenMRS module, install it, and then configure it through the OpenMRS UI. The equivalent for DHIS apps could be very useful. Or should the app include its own configuration screens, and the configuration data is somehow stored in DHIS? (I apologize for my lack of knowledge about apps.)

If we had Start date and End date in a YEARLY dataset, that might preclude two outbreaks (by any other name) for the same year and same organisation unit, so that might not be the best method for data entry. (And outbreaks that span the new year would still have to be entered twice.) Quite right, I was already wondering how to handle things that cross years. I guess the user should select start and end dates, but these would not be stored. Tending towards preserving the information as much as possible through using a daily dataset - this implies lots of (generated) datavalues for a long outbreak, but is usually for a limited number of orgunits (the total number is over 3000). Monthly data will be interpreted to cover all days in the month. Interesting idea about entering through time on the same form. I wonder what that would look like. Would the periods be columns? Given that we already use columns for disaggregations, that might make the form too wide -- so maybe the periods would be rows. I wonder how the number of periods would be determined -- perhaps specify the number in the form design (or in the data set for an automatically-generated form), or maybe specify a longer period type and show all periods within the longer duration. In this particular case there is but one data element and no disaggregations, so it could go either way. It really depends on how you get your data - sometimes you have lots of data for just one

Re: [Dhis2-users] Anyone used DHIS-2 mobile to initiate mobile money payments?
Hi, in Zambia they have set up a partly manual system to reimburse/incentivize reporters for the Malaria program. I guess they can give the details as they are also on the list. In general I can say that we don't have a USSD connection directly from DHIS2, though we are very keen to investigate the whole area of reimbursement etc as part of the DHIS mobile project. We would need the DHIS2 server to have a mobile modem supporting USSD/SMS. Those who were implementing this in Zambia found that there were no standardized interfaces for doing this reimbursement on the network side, and the way they got around it I think was to install a mobile modem which could do SMS and USSD, and use an external program to run through a list of USSD/SMS commands (these were generated by a custom script in DHIS2). They are doing this on a different machine than the one that hosts DHIS2. Depending on the hosting situation and which OS the gateway-software runs on, it may be easier to do as they have done. To generate scripts on DHIS2 which are run on another machine that has network connectivity for SMS/USSD. Lars 2013/12/18 Wilson,Randy rwil...@msh.org In Rwanda we are exploring the possibility of paying community health workers incentive payments (PBF) via Mobile Money for effectively tracking pregnant women using the RapidSMS system. For example those who reported an average of 7 or more pregnancy-related messages per pregnant woman reported would receive a certain amount, while those reporting 4-6 would get less, and 3 or less would get no incentive payment. We have already worked out how to transfer the data into the DHIS-2 from RapidSMS (updating phone number lists and importing datavalues to calculate the average number of pregnancy related messages per community health worker), but we’re not sure if DHIS-2 supports sending of USSD messages that are used for mobile banking transactions. Has anyone done this before? Alternately, we could generate a report and send as an Excel sheet to the mobile carriers and have them initiate the transfers, but would then need a way to import the confirmation of payments back into the system since I suppose people with broken phones would not be able to receive their payments even if they are sent. This is still at the discussion stage, but we would like to build on experiences of those who may have tried this before. *Randy Wilson* Senior HMIS and Data Use Advisor, Ministry of Health/Rwanda Integrated Health Systems Strengthening Project Management Sciences for Health, Inc.

There are many existing and upcoming features on sms that may be useful. One is that you can fall back to using sms as a transport instead of gprs, though gprs works well in most contexts. Additionally, if you have smaller data sets, these would work well on sms. You can also use sms for messaging and alerts. But as your general route for those data sets, j2me is probably the best option. Note that j2me works best when you buy the phones, so you can test that it works as expected.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Building legacy mobile in 2.10
Hi David, you are looking for the function of being able to send an SMS from the user (not a client), to DHIS2 with for example a monthly report, right? Not the J2ME client with SMS transport? Sending SMS with reports is certainly supposed to be supported in DHIS, but Magnus (cc) can hopefully help you set this up. Our Vietnam mobile development team are on holiday for a week or so, and when they come back they can help you also.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Lowest cost mobile phone for facility reporter and program tracker
The cheapest Nokia we typically recommend is c1-01, but if you go for the c2 with a larger screen, you get a better experience at not much higher cost. We are also testing some low cost chinese brands, but these differ between countries so it is difficult to say exactly. If you go to a mobile shop and get some local models and prices, we can help tell you which are feasible.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Secure remote access
Hi Mark, I'd use HTTPS/SSL for web access and definitely use SSH (preferably using both certificates and passwords) for server access (for people administering the linux installations). Even if you may not strictly need HTTPS/SSL, it covers your back in case there was an attempted attack. Not using it might be seen as unprofessional by many. A large part of security for the server is also to keep it up to date with security patches. This is often forgotten. And of course backups etc, which is also a security precaution. Note that if you're using the mobile clients, this may put some extra requirements on which SSL certificate registrars you use, as the cheaper ones give errors or simply don't work on mobile phones. So although Verisign and Thawte are more expensive, it might be worth using these. Lars 2012/3/9 Jason Pickering jason.p.picker...@gmail.com Hi Mar, Personally, I would be much more concerned about the security of the server itself. I get dozens of attempted forced entry attempts on servers I manage each day. I know servers where DHIS2 has been setup have been taken over due to weak passwords on the server. It really depends on the security requirements of the organization. DHIS password requirements are pretty insecure (at least 8 characters, one caps, one number) and well known, so of course, this is a weakness. This of course could be changed to suit your own needs, but would require alteration of the source code to do so. Best to get an exact security requirement from them.
