Hello Nibras, The UID is not compulsory depending on your implementation. If the organization Units in question do not already exist on the system and you need to create them, you can leave the UID blank and the system will generate the UIDs automatically. In the other case, if the organization unit already exists and you want to modify any of its properties (name, code, location/parent UID), you need to provide the UID so that the system can identify the organization unit in question. The parent UID however has to be provided at all times (compulsory) except if the organization unit is Giotto be the root organisation unit. The field determines which level or location of the hierarchy the organization unit should reside. The easiest way to go about it is to create the organization units at the higher level first so you can get the UIDs to provide as the Parent UID for the next levels i.e. if you have five three (3) levels on your hierarchy (Level 1, 2 and 3), Create Level 1 (the root) first, get the UID for the organisation unit on Level 1 and populate as the Parent UID for Level 2 organisation units. Create Level 2 so you can get the UIDs for Level 2 organisation units and populate as the Parent UID for Level 3.

We have successfully installed and configured DHIS2 (2.29) for aggregated data collection purpose for different region of Bangladesh. Problem we are currently facing is preparing the csv file for importing organization unit. One particular field I do not understand that in the documentation ( https://docs.dhis2.org/2.29/en/developer/html/webapi_csv_metadata_import.html- Table: 1.19) that there is column named UID and Parent UID. During populating the csv, do we need to specify those UIDS and Parent UIDS (I know we should do that otherwise hierarchy wont populate. Also then I need to handle Parent UIDS programmatically)? If that happens, then I need to populate the csv programmatically. I also know, DHIS2 has an API that provide stable identifier. Is there any other way around to develop the hierarchical organization unit? It would be really helpful if you provide your ideas or suggestion regarding this.
