Re: [Dhis2-devs] Category combination set to default won't let me change it

Dear all, It's 1 year on from when this shortcoming in DHIS2 was identified. Is the use of Category Combo supported in the Tracker now? If not, how did you manage to get around this requirement Anne (or anyone else)? I have to enable the user to make multiple selections from a lookup/drop-down

Re: [Dhis2-devs] Category combination set to default won't let me change it

Hi Crizelle, we do not plan to support categories for tracker. The "tracker" domain type includes both single event and tracker programs. I know it is a bit misleading, we could potentially use "events" instead. As mentioned before, we do not plan to support multiple selection within an option

Re: [Dhis2-devs] Category combination set to default won't let me change it

Hi Lars, Thanks for the quick response. Noted that multiple selections within an option set won't be supported. It would make sense to include "Event" as a separate option for the "Domain Type". Would categories then possibly be supported for Events if then not for Tracker? The only other

Hi Knut, (1) If unable to use use Categories for Event data elements then yes, we have to be able to save each data value against a separate data element for analysis. The ability to reuse Category Options though (i.e assigning them to multiple Categories), greatly reduces the database

Hi Crizelle, It could be quite instructive if you could share the details of this example with us. Knut On 8 Dec 2015 7:09 pm, "Crizelle Nel" wrote: > Hi Knut, > > (1) If unable to use use Categories for Event data elements then yes, we > have to be able to save each data

Dear Knut, Thanks for this insight. I agree with Crizelle, I am building an Inventory System using the tracker (2.21) and I am facing the same challenge. There is need to see how we can achieve similar "category Options - categories" functionality for events to avoid unnecessary hacks to the

Hi Anne, Your Domain Type is Tracker and this is not yet supported. You can only have Category Combinations in Aggregate. best regards, Busoye On 27 Nov 2014, at 10:37, Anne Grace missannegr...@gmail.com mailto:missannegr...@gmail.com wrote: Dear All, I hope you are well.
