Hi Lars, This bug has been troubling me since I saw the report but it has taken a few walks in the woods to figure out why. I am not comfortable with it being implemented and let me try and outline my argument.
We are planning in Zambia to pilot the DHIS mobile app in certain districts. Community health workers will report certain data elements (e.g. Number of cases of clinical malaria under 1) on a weekly basis. This same data element is reported on a monthly basis at the health facility. Each community health worker will be attached to a health center. Therefore the monthly total for a given health facility should be the number of cases observed at the health facility itself (monthly) plus the number of cases observed by a CHW (weekly). As it has been made clear by Ola several times, one can create any number of datasets, and associate a certain periodicity with them. The periodicity is thus associated with the data set and not the data element itself. This is really going to cause huge problems for us in particular, as we have certain data elements, which in the past have been collected quarterly, but which are now collected monthly. They exist in different data sets with different periodicities. Could you provide more detail as to why this should not be allowed?
