Session outline
In this webinar, you will explore the new DHIS2 Maintenance app and learn how it can simplify everyday configuration and metadata management. You will become familiar with the app’s modern interface, hierarchical organisation-unit structure, improved filtering and sorting options, bulk sharing updates, and enhanced controls for working with long forms and data elements. You will also learn how to use the app’s save options and configure program indicator disaggregations more efficiently.
You will then discover how metadata deduplication and merging can help you keep your DHIS2 instance organised and reliable. You will learn how to identify true and semantic duplicates, run data-integrity checks, and understand which metadata objects can be merged. The webinar will also explain how source and target objects work, how data values are handled during a merge, and why these operations require careful planning. By the end, you will understand how to manage metadata more safely, reduce duplication, and protect data quality through testing, appropriate permissions, and preventative practices.
