Session outline

In this webinar, you will learn how the new aggregate Data Entry app modernizes data entry in DHIS2 and replaces the legacy app from version 42 onward. You will explore the updated workflow for selecting organisation units, data sets, and periods, as well as the fixed navigation bars and improved field validation.
You will also discover how the details panel supports comments, follow-up flags, limits, value history, and audit information. The webinar introduces default, section, and custom forms, including tabs, totals, disabled fields, transposed layouts, instructional text, and HTML/CSS styling. You will learn how these options can create clearer forms across web and Android while reducing the need for JavaScript-based customizations.
