For v40 and 2.39

Visualizer

On-the-fly custom calculations in Data Visualizer [v40]

Now it’s even easier to explore your data within DHIS2! With this feature, you can create your own custom calculations directly in the Data Visualizer application for pivot tables. This means you no longer need to have admin access or create new indicators to play around with your own personal data expressions. Plus, the custom calculation is automatically saved to the pivot table in which it was created, without cluttering up your configuration with additional saved indicators. This feature is perfect for things like exploring coverage calculations with various population denominators or making quick and simple sums. Video | Jira

Legend sets for stacked column charts [v40]

Spice up your data visualizations with a new feature that allows legends to be applied to column charts! This makes it easier to see how indicators are performing at a glance. Jira

Legend sets for single value [v40]

Now, legend colors can be applied to the background of a single value chart, making the performance of the value more obvious and visually engaging. This feature helps users quickly understand the significance of the value and its relation to the legend colors. Jira

Indicator icons for single value charts [v40]

Want to add some personality to your data? Now, icons can be shown in single value charts to represent the indicator being used. For example, if you’re tracking total malaria cases, you can choose a mosquito icon to visually communicate what the value represents. This feature will also be added for data elements in the near future. Jira

Maps

Multiple org unit geometries [2.39]

(aka: Catchment areas for org units)

DHIS2 can now store and visualize multiple geometries for org units. This is supported through a new metadata attribute GeoJSON value type. GeoJSON data can be imported through the metadata importer and stored using the new value type. This allows for example for displaying both the location (as a point) and the catchment area (as a polygon) for org units. Video | Screenshot | Demo

Multiple event coordinate types in maps [v40]

Visualize geographical data in new ways with multiple event coordinate types now available for use in maps. Choose to view location by event coordinate, enrollment coordinate, tracked entity coordinate, program stage data elements of type coordinates, or program tracked entity attributes of type coordinate. For example, easily see the household location for women who delivered last week at the health facility for outreach services. Jira

Display values in thematic layers [v40]

Make your maps even more informative with the option to show values directly on the map in thematic layers. This addition complements the legend and provides a more complete picture of the data being presented. Jira

Earth Engine population data import [2.39]

In the Import/Export app you can now import data sets from Google Earth Engine. DHIS2 already allows visualizing Earth Engine layers in the Maps app. The new importer takes this further by allowing for dynamic calculation of population data sets based on org unit geometries, and subsequent import of the population data as raw data in DHIS2. This will allow implementations to use the population data from Earth Engine in DHIS2 visualizations and combine it with other data sets as part of indicator expressions. Video | Screenshot | Jira

Improved maps download [v40]

Get all of the key information you need when you download a map. In version 40 you can now show the map title, description, legend(s), north arrow, and overview map all in one easy to use image when you download a map. Video

Line Listing [2.38.1]

A new Line Listing application has been released via the App Hub, and will be bundled with the core release from DHIS v2.38.1 onwards. Later versions of this app will be released continuously on the App Hub. Bug fixes and new features will therefore be available to be downloaded and integrated at the time they are needed, without upgrading the rest of the DHIS2 platform. The App Hub is accessed through the App management app.

This new application is a massive improvement for producing line lists of tracked entities in DHIS2 over the event reports application. The new line listing application replicated all of the line listing functionalities of the event reports app, and it has a completely new, much improved user experience that makes it much easier for users to make a line list of tracked entities. It also includes many new features. A list of some of the key new features is below. Video | Screenshot | Docs

Linelists on dashboards [v40]

Keep track of all your data in one place with line lists now available on dashboards! This feature has also been added to the latest releases of 2.39 and 2.38. Video | Jira

Legend sets for line lists [2.39]

The Line Listing app you can now apply a legend to data items. Legends can be predefined or automatically generated. This allows you to make your data more easily interpretable by applying a color coding to indicate performance, status or severity. Video | Screenshot | Jira

Scheduled date in line lists [2.39]

Scheduled date is made available as a time dimension in the Line Listing app. You can now present or filter data by scheduled date. Video | Screenshot | Jira
