About

In vanilla DHIS2 there is a (fairly bare bones) "interpretations" system. In essence, this system allows users to annotate analytical objects such as charts, maps and tables with their interpretation (or other relevant information) of the data. UX-wise, interpretations are browsed through a Facebook-style news feed. Except the ability to comment an interpretation shared by another user, some obvious major features are missing:

  • There is no way for a user to actively keep track of an interpretation they find interesting. Over time it will be swallowed by the newsfeed and there is no URL to a specific interpretation supplied to the user.
  • There is no functionality to search interpretations for issues/items of particular interest.

In short, the existing interpretations feature set is only usable for posting (fairly) disposable data, and is not fit for encouraging proper discussion and interaction between users.

The task of this group project is to attempt to mend some of these issues through creating a separate web-app for exploring and discussing interpretations utilising the DHIS2 web-api.

Group members

  • Thomas Iversen
  • Trine Frimannslund
  • Halvdan Grelland
  • Johannes Akse

Requirements

Below is an (admittedly fairly lacking) list of project requirements.

Forum view

In short, we wish to achieve a "forum style" view of the interpretations. We believe this is a cleaner and more user friendly presentation format. Do note, though, that this will not attempt to replicate the functionality and architecture of traditional web forums such as phpbb et. al. The underlying data simply don't support this type of structure as there are no categories, no titles etc.
