DHIS2 Data Import Tool
This DHIS2 application enables the importing of data from excel spreadsheets. The tool was developed by HISP Uganda, funded by USAID through the Morbidity Management and Disability Prevention Project, in collaboration with Helen Keller International (HKI).
While the DHIS2 Data Import Tool has been customized for the specific needs of HKI (it is not generic) - what is shared in this download is the basic source code template. To operationalize the tool, you need to create “a property file” in the source code that specifies Org units, and data element identifiers (UUIDS) for mapping the excel spread sheet to the database. This single file has been removed from the source code and therefore the tool will not work as expected. You are welcome to download and reuse the source code, to improve or develop your own version of the import tool.
Technical Briefing
The DHIS2 Data Import tool is developed on an open source platform with agile and flexible programming. The User Interface (UI) is designed with Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) used for layouts and page frames. Underlying the User Interface (UI) is AngularJS a JavaScript open-source client and server-side web application frame work. The tool is designed to interact with the DHIS2 through the Application Programming Interface (API). This allows both client and server-side transactions to be made with complete flexibility. The tool can be modified to suite client needs in various categories. Installation and maintenance is through the DHIS2 Application Management module.
