Android Capture App v3.2 Overview

Disable automatic grouping of data elements

Provides the option to maintain the defined order of data elements within sections, preventing automatic grouping by category combinations.

Content displayed before and after section

Allows the inclusion of custom instructional text or HTML content above and below each section, supporting basic formatting for enhanced guidance.

Support for pivot options

Enables alternative layouts in data set forms, such as transposing rows and columns, to better accommodate complex data entry scenarios.

Title and Subtitle

Supports the display of custom titles and subtitles in data set forms, offering additional context and clarity for users.

Render vertical tabs

Introduces vertical tab navigation for sections within data entry forms, enhancing usability, in landscape orientation.

Support for fractional days for date parameters

When specifying the parameters for a data set, you can now use numbers (eg. 0.5) for “Days after period to qualify for timely submission” and “Expiry days.” This supports IDSR use cases where timely submission for weekly IDSR data is Monday at 12 (noon), which is 0.5 days after period end at Sunday midnight.

With DHIS2 increasingly being used for IDSR where rapid reporting is a must, this change can be used to set timeliness requirements with more granularity. Historically, this parameter has been mostly used for timeliness of “long transaction” monthly aggregated data. Disease surveillance data is different, because rapid submission of outbreak data is of vital importance for the early containment of epidemics.

Improvements in input dialog for all value types

The input dialog has been redesigned delivering a more modern, intuitive, and consistent experience across all value types. Users are also able to capture images and files directly within data set entry, alongside others, already supported types, like numeric, boolean, text, and date.

Single table rendering

Aligning to the Data Entry App, Data sets are now rendered using a single unified table that includes all category combinations and indicators, providing a cleaner and more consistent layout.
