Subject: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS version 2.11 is released
Hi all,
DHIS version 2.11 is out and we have some great features for you:
- Web-based pivot table: Allows you to create pivot tables with data aggregated
along all data dimensions, including data element/organisation unit group sets.
Data dimensions can be arranged freely on columns, rows and as filters. You can
include totals and subtotals on all axis and control the table density and font
size under options. Your pivots can be saved as favorites and downloaded to
your local computer. This design goal is to allow users to create their own
reports with the data they need without any involvement of super-users.
A pivot table with immunization indicators for last 4 quarters by facility
ownership, type and location can be made like this (log in with admin/district):

A pivot table with number of diagnosis by facility ownership and type with
totals and subtotals looks like this (notice that diagnosis are data element
groups):
http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-pivot/app/index.html?id=vlnZeGhgw1T
A pivot table for vaccines, broken down on categories, age group and point of
service, last 12 months:

A pivot table with reporting rates, major forms for public facilities by
location and type, last 12 months:

We encourage you to play around - select dimension items for the left menu and
arrange dimensions from Layout in the top menu. Documentation can be found
here:
http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch15.html
- Data analytics Web-API resource: A flexible API for retrieving aggregated,
analytical data for all data dimensions using a simple query syntax. The pivot
table module is built on top of this API. It allows developers of third-party
apps and web portals to connect to DHIS 2 and query for any type of aggregated
data, where any number of dimensions and filters can be specified. Data can be
retrieved in json, jsonp, xml, csv, html and xls (Excel) format and responses
can be constrained with criteria like greater than, equals and so on.
A query for retrieving data for certain data elements, periods and organisation
units might look like this:

Documentation can be found here:
http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch25s18.html
- Sharing: Several objects including chart, pivot table, map, indicator and
data set can now be shared and have fine-grained access control. An object can
be made private to yourself, shared with any number of user groups or be made
available for all. You can grant edit or view-only rights to other people. You
can create user groups directly from the dashboard. Who should be allowed to
create public objects can be controlled through user roles.
This functionality is useful for example in a scenario where entities like
health programs and implementing partners need to create indicators and reports
which should be available only for members of their organisation. In this case,
an organisation can create a user group for their staff, then develop charts
and maps which could be made available for that organisation only. General
reports made by the ministry could still be shared with all and made publicly
available.
Another use-case is that of an international NGO with operations in multiple
countries. Here, user groups could be set up for each country and indicators,
resources, charts and reports which are country-specific could be made
available for staff working in that country only, without appearing in lists
for staff working in other countries. Indicators and reports which are
applicable for all counties could be made accessible for all. The sharing
solution also opens up for great possibilities when combined with the
self-registration of user account feature.
