Data Elements, Prg Indicators, Category + Cat Option Group Set, Created by and Last Updated by.

Visualizing multiple repeating events

You are now able to produce a line list that can display data from multiple repeating stage for a single tracked entity. You can specify how many repeated stages you would like to see data from.

New, Tracker-specific period dimensions

In the new Line Listing application you can produce a linelist showing enrollment date, event date, and/or incident date. These can be each defined, sorted, and shown together in a single line list.

Created by and Last updated by

This allows you to see the user name of the user that has either created the enrollment or the user that has last updated the data for the tracked entity.

Freeze for row and column headers [2.37]

In pivot tables, row and column headers can now be frozen. This allows users to scroll through large pivot tables while not losing the reference to the data labels, as the row and column headers will always be visible. Frozen headers can be enabled from Options > Style > Fix column headers to top of table and Fix row headers to left of table. Video

Axis labels for multi-axis charts [2.37]

Multi-axis charts can now have custom labels for all axes. This applies to bar, column and line charts in the Data Visualizer app.

Indicator type for single value [2.37]

Single indicator value visualizations will display a %, per thousand, per ten thousand, or per hundred thousand suffix based upon the indicator factor. This applies both to the visualizer and dashboard apps. Docs

Text wrapping [2.37]

Pivot tables now support text wrapping which will automatically be applied to long text data values as well as long row and column headers. This makes the visualizer app more suitable for displaying narratives and long text data.

Select all dimension options [2.37]

In the data visualizer app, you can now chose to automatically select all options for a particular dimension. This is useful if you have dimensions that are regularly changing as it will automatically update as new dimensions are added. It also useful when you have dimensions with a very high number of options.

Group set short name [2.38]

The indicator group set and category option group sets now have short name properties, which allows for precise and UI-friendly rendering. The short names are now used as column names in resource tables instead of names.

Maps: alternative geometries for Org Units [2.38]

DHIS v2.38 supports multiple geometries (points and shapes) for all organisation units. These can be viewed in the Maps app for any standard layer through an option in the org. unit selector. Practically this means that system administrators can upload catchment areas for their facilities, community health posts, schools, hospitals, etc. and visualize any data by catchment. Video | Docs

Maps: Google's Earth Building/Structures Layer [2.38]

You can now see structure outlines as identified by Google’s Open Building dataset. This data set includes 516M buildings (64% of the African continent). It is useful for population estimation, urban planning, outreach and health programs, and humanitarian response, for example. The number of buildings can be shown by catchment or org unit boundaries.
