Re: [Dhis2-users] Data approval does not adhere to datasets assigned to Orgunits

[Ifeanyi Okoye]

Elmarie,We had even more serious issues with trying to setup approvals in DHIS 
2.22.
We suddenly realized that analytics were not working and were wondering what 
had gone wrong. Pivot tables and dataset report were blank. The last action we 
setup before this was the creating the category option groupsets and setting up 
the approval workflow.
So, we started removing everything related to the approvals but when it got to 
removing the category option groupsets from the users we assigned to the 2 
groupsets we created, it appeared to unassign, but when you saved and opened 
again, the groupsets were still assigned to the user. This gave us a huge 
challenge. I reported this on this forum, but go very little help with it. 
Eventually we managed move the things off but then we could not delete the 
option groupsets because they were assigned to users which we could not 
immediately locate.
Yesterday, 2 users who did not even have the option groupsets applied to their 
accounts reported that they were getting exception errors when trying to run 
pivot tables. I checked those users profiles and saw that the option groupsets 
had been assigned to them. Given that I created the users and the option 
groupsets, it was a bit bewildering that how that got assigned to them.
I wish the data approval app in DATIM could be made available to users with 
clear instructions on how to set it up. I think it would be quite helpful.
I plan to actually check the users one by one to see if other users have this 
issue. I probably will do this easier from the backend, but access to the 
server is not convenient right now.
Thank you. 
Warm Regards, 

Ifeanyi

Hi all, 
 I would like views on what I perceive to be a bug in DHIS2 that Data Approval 
Workflow does not respect/adhere to Dataset/Orgunit assignment. I’ll paint the 
scenario:   An integrated HIS reporting system where different facility types 
report on data elements applicable to them so the Orgunit and Dataset assigned 
could look something like this:   
| Country |    |    |    | Dataset assigned | Workflow period |
|    | Region 1 |    |    |    |    |
|    |    | District 1 |    |    |    |
|    |    |    | Clinic A | PHC dataset | Monthly |
|    |    |    | Community Health Centre B | PHC dataset + Delivery dataset | 
Monthly |
|    |    |    | Hospital C | Hospital dataset | Monthly |
|    |    |    | Community outreach D | Community Dataset | Monthly |
|    |    |    | Emergency Service E | EMS dataset | Monthly |

    If you set up a workflow for e.g. PHC dataset – Monthly you have to let the 
Manager of not only Clinic A and Community Health Centre B approve that dataset 
BUT also Hospital C, Community Outreach D and Emergency Service E while they 
DON’T REPORT and are not assigned to that dataset. If they don’t all approve 
the same workflow then District 1 cannot approve the dataset.   Yes, it is 
possible to create one overall dataset which everyone then approves but it 
looks very “dirty” because most of the signoff report is elements they should 
not report on thus blank and it is not easy for them to identify the REAL GAPS 
which they should have reported on if >50% of the form is blank and it is too 
long.   What would it take to attach the data approval to the Dataset>Orgunit 
Assignment that is done for data entry thus only requiring approval at lower 
level if that orgunit is assigned to the dataset. If that is done then only 
Clinic A and Community Health Centre B would be assigned to the workflow and be 
required to approve before District 1 can approve. I would appreciate some 
feedback and prepared to write a blueprint for it if required.

[Dhis2-users] Data approval does not adhere to datasets assigned to Orgunits

[Elmarie Claasen]

Hi all,

 

I would like views on what I perceive to be a bug in DHIS2 that Data
Approval Workflow does not respect/adhere to Dataset/Orgunit assignment.
I'll paint the scenario: 

 

An integrated HIS reporting system where different facility types report on
data elements applicable to them so the Orgunit and Dataset assigned could
look something like this: 

 


Country

 

 

 

Dataset assigned

Workflow period


 

Region 1

 

 

 

 


 

 

District 1

 

 

 


 

 

 

Clinic A

PHC dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Community Health Centre B

PHC dataset + Delivery dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Hospital C

Hospital dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Community outreach D

Community Dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Emergency Service E

EMS dataset

Monthly

 

 

If you set up a workflow for e.g. PHC dataset - Monthly you have to let the
Manager of not only Clinic A and Community Health Centre B approve that
dataset BUT also Hospital C, Community Outreach D and Emergency Service E
while they DON'T REPORT and are not assigned to that dataset. If they don't
all approve the same workflow then District 1 cannot approve the dataset. 

 

Yes, it is possible to create one overall dataset which everyone then
approves but it looks very "dirty" because most of the signoff report is
elements they should not report on thus blank and it is not easy for them to
identify the REAL GAPS which they should have reported on if >50% of the
form is blank and it is too long. 

 

What would it take to attach the data approval to the Dataset>Orgunit
Assignment that is done for data entry thus only requiring approval at lower
level if that orgunit is assigned to the dataset. If that is done then only
Clinic A and Community Health Centre B would be assigned to the workflow and
be required to approve before District 1 can approve. I would appreciate
some feedback and prepared to write a blueprint for it if required.
