Packages content
Metadata is divided in three json files:
1. RDQA Server Attributes
This is the first file to import into the server. This package contains attributes objects, which works as additional fields of information to most of the metadata objects. These attributes are fully compatible with any of the server versions mentioned above.
It is necessary to import this package since some of the objects in RDQA Program package refer to the attributes.
Learn more about RDQA Server Attributes in the Technical Manual.
2. RDQA Program
This file contains all the objects related to the program: Data elements, Tracked Entity Attributes, Option sets, Option Groups, Program, Program stages, program rules, Program indicators and legends.
Learn more about RDQA Program in the technical manual.
3. RDQA Analytics
The Analytics file contains two dashboards:
Basic Dashboard: Displays four event reports and one pivot table indicating information such as number of assessments in a given period of time, main scores per health area and per donor and indicator.
RDQA Data Quality Score, Data Verification & M&E Systems Assessment: Displays a pivot table per health with the 3 scores (Overall Data Quality score, Assessment Score and Data verification score). It also displays an event report with the data verification score per dimension per indicator.
Learn more about RDQA Analytics in the technical manual.
