Overview

Project name: Data element bulk editor

The current "Data Elements" application of DHIS2 resides only on server side, appeares outdated and slightly cluttered. Some features are lacking and some are poorly implemented.

• Edit button loads separate page
• There are several pages, with x elements on each page
• Filtering does not work in real time
• Saving must be done manually
• Users of the application claim it is too complicated to use

A system to make it easier to bulk edit data elements is necessary.

The task of this project is to create a brand new application, based on the same design as the existing. This will be implemented in HTML, CSS and Javascript, in addition to the DHIS2 web API.

Architecture and technologies

• HTML, CSS and Javascript
• jQuery
• Bootstrap for design
• JSON? (This is perhaps implicit?)
• Ajax (as a part of Jquery?)
• DHIS2 Web API

Implementation

Required features

• No page reloading, everything happens on ONE page.
• Press element for dropdown edit with requred fields
• Button for "more settings" in dropdown menu
• Real time filtering
• Design is based on the existing DHIS2 application "Data Elements"

Ideas thoughts and issues

• Real time filtering may be slow when accessing a high number of elements
• Should popups be used? Are popups old school?
• Should there be a save button or auto-save?
• Scrolling to load more content?
