Channel: DHIS2
Date: 2022-08-11

Now that you know some of the principles for naming items in DHIS2, let's use that knowledge to create data elements in DHIS2. This video will teach you how to define the correct domain type, value type and aggregation type for any new data element. You will see how the aggregation type relates to the data displayed within the different outputs.

This video is a part of the DHIS2 Fundamentals series of self-paced online courses, offered free of charge, that will provide you with an introduction to DHIS2 principles and terminology, and help you gain an overall understanding of how DHIS2 can be used to collect and analyze aggregate and individual-level data through instructional video presentations, system demonstrations, short quizzes, and hands-on exercises and assignments. To register and start your DHIS2 training journey, go to our Online Academy webpage [https://academy.dhis2.org/]. After successful completion of each DHIS2 Fundamentals course, you will receive a certificate. Completion of DHIS2 Fundamentals courses is a requirement for registration to many of our Level 1 and Level 2 DHIS2 Academies.
