Custom Program Rules
The PCA currently does not support In-app creation of custom Program Rules, meaning that the standard Program Rules management in the DHIS2 Maintenance App is required for this. However, the custom Program Rules are displayed in the PCA as described in the Checking Existing Program Rules page.
Please Note: A Program Rules Rule creation feature is being planned for a future release of the PCA.
if you use the H2 PCA functionality, you can declare logic for hide/show and labels using the Excel template [link]. PCA will take care of automatically generating and maintaining the associated program rules and variables
automatically generate the necessary program variables and program rules for your H2 program.
H2 Program Rules maintained for PCA
H2 Hide/Show
H2 Mandatory questions (when hidden)
When a question is hidden by a program rule, you cannot use the standard ‘mandatory’ control at the program stage. Instead, there is the need of having an extra program rule to only make it mandatory when shown. The PCA automatically generates these extra rules. The rules are named following the following convention:

H2 Score Program Rules
Critical Score
Non Critical Score
Overall Score
Compositive Scores (dynamic)
Program Variables
In H2 programs where PCA automatically generate the necessary program rules described above, it also generates associated Program Variable. Those variables are named as xxxxx

Program Rules Generated by the PCA
If the HNQIS2 Metadata Package has been installed in the server, the PCA will enable the H2 features. These features allow the creation and modification of H2 Programs, enabling access to other features like the Import/Export of Excel Templates, and the Set Up of H2 Logic and Analytics (see Image 1).
...
The Excel Template is the main way to define Program Logic in H2 Assessments, allowing for easy configuration of Parent Questions (Hide/Show logic), label creation, scoring calculations, and
much more (see Image 2). You can check how to use the Excel Template here.
...
After importing the Excel Template with the desired changes, the Program Rules can be generated by using the Set Up Program button in case the Tracker and Event Program you must click on the Build Program Rules button.
Please Note:
The Set Up Program button is only enabled after changes are Validated and Saved.
The Build Program Rules is only enabled after changes are validated.
Keep in mind that this button also generates Program Indicators and Analytics used in the Programs.

The PCA will automatically generate all the necessary Program Rules and Program Rules Variables to implement the specified logic and the scoring calculations used by the Assessment. |

Executing this process again will delete all Previously generated Program Rules and Program Rule Variables to create new ones. Your custom Program Rules and Program Rule Variables will not be deleted. |
