Listing, Filtering & Sorting of Events

Group view of Program Stages in TEI Dashboard

The TEI Dashboard offers now the possibility to change the list of events from the chronological view to a stage grouping view. The stage grouping view will group and collapse the events per program stage. Each program stage group can be expanded by the user and the events will be displayed chronologically.

Data Entry Forms (Event and Tracker Programs)

Improved error message dialog when saving event or enrollment

The app will now list the name of the mandatory fields missing when the user tries to complete an event or enrolment. The sections containing the missing fields will be highlighted to help the user find the missing fields.

QR and Barcodes supported

Data elements or attributes or type text can be configured as QR or barcodes. When a Data Element or Attribute is rendered as QR/Barcode, the app will open the device camera to read the code image. When the QR/Barcode is a TEI attribute configured as searchable, the user will be allowed to scan the code in order to search and identify the Tracked Entity Instance. This will also work for option sets.

User assignment
