Re: [Dhis2-users] questions about tracker (coordinates, attributes, visualization)

[Prosper BT]

Dear Natalie

Here are some responses to your questions


   - Why might a field for coordinates show up in the stages, but not in
   the main program enrollment screen if I have checked “yes” to capturing
   coordinates? (But the coordinates field DOES show up in tracker capture
   using a computer, just not on the app)

If you need coordinates to show up on the enrolment as part of the
attributes, you will need to select yes to capture coordinates in the
tracker program design. And since you did then it should be an issues with
Andriod capture App.
Also try to use the latest Tracker capture Android 0.5.1 if you are running
DHIS2 2.28.
However note that in GIS program coordinates are not yet supported in
events layer.


   - What is the rationale for certain characteristics being attributes vs.
   data elements? If I want to be able to visualize all the data - total
   number enrolled, where, characteristics, stages - which should be
   attributes of the tracked entity and which should be data elements?

Well there is no defined approach as it depends on the different use cases,
however it would be good to have identifier information as part of
attributes if its information that doesn't change (and even if it
changes you dont want to keep track of the changes) for the tracked entity
during longitudinal followup. Also if the identification info is too much
you can consider creating an initial non repeatable stage that can
accommodate the extra baseline or reg data.

Since enrolment analysis is not yet supported in Events report and Events
visualizer, you can only have attributes together with any program stage in
events reports.

   - In general I am having trouble visualizing tracked data - I made
   program indicators for certain elements, is that the best way to visualize
   tracker data? Tracker data elements are not even showing up in the data
   visualizer.

Its encouraged to use program indicators to analyse events and tracker
data. In pivot tables, visualizer and GIS you will only have sensible
analysis with program indicators not events data elements.

[Dhis2-users] questions about tracker (coordinates, attributes, visualization)

[Natalie Tibbels]

Hi all,

Looking for input on the tracker function. We are registering participants in 
community events using the android app in the field. Here are my questions 
about tracker:

  *   Why might a field for coordinates show up in the stages, but not in the 
main program enrollment screen if I have checked “yes” to capturing 
coordinates? (But the coordinates field DOES show up in tracker capture using a 
computer, just not on the app)
  *   What is the rationale for certain characteristics being attributes vs. 
data elements? If I want to be able to visualize all the data - total number 
enrolled, where, characteristics, stages - which should be attributes of the 
tracked entity and which should be data elements?
  *   In general I am having trouble visualizing tracked data - I made program 
indicators for certain elements, is that the best way to visualize tracker 
data? Tracker data elements are not even showing up in the data visualizer.

Another question is when I initially access the visualizer or pivot tables (as 
the admin), an error screen will pop up saying “No organization unit levels 
found” - any thoughts on what this means? I’m still able to see all my org 
units…

Thanks in advance for your help!
