I've updated the metadata graphic, in case that helps you see if I forgot something or did something wrong. Note that I dropped the situation indicator component for space.

Re: setting data set type This is because you didn't have codes to the options under option set "data set type".
Re: value type for target groups I think it needs to be number as you will be entering decimals?
Re: organisation units for category options Well, you can decide.. The idea is to give you an option and decide such and such options (rather stakeholders / responsible ministry are applicable for districts A & C but not B... this is especially useful if some agencies are totally focused in poor areas hence doing nothing in rich areas or working in rural & agriculture and doing nothing in urban...
Re: organisation units for action data elements not sure I get you here... is this for data sets ? or for dataelements and aggregation levels?
Re:Re: setting data set type Ok! I added codes so I was able to set the data set type for the data sets!
Re:Re: value type for target groups For the value type - we actually only need decimals for the situation indicators. All of the other numbers we are dealing with are referring to people so should be whole numbers. So the type should actually be "positive integer" for all?
Re:Re: organisation units for category options Right now, I have no org unit set. But if I want to collected all my information at the district level, I would have to set all the org units for category options (target groups, delivery mechanisms, stakeholders)? There are several places (between category options, data elements, etc.) where org units can be set so I'm wondering what the difference is between them all and if I have to set all of them.
Re:Re: organisation units for action data elements Sorry, I was actually confused with aggregation level. If I want to enter data at the district level and aggregate to the province and national level - I would just select those correct?
ok, so I set the org until for org unit for the category options (target groups, stakeholders and delivery mechanisms), dataset (actions, target groups) and program (actions) to district. I also set the aggregation level for the action and target group data elements to district.
It seems 3 and 4 above are related. Go to Apps -> System Settings -> General -> Enable multi-organisation unit forms.
No need to set aggregation levels for catalyst, funder and responsible ministry data elements.
Re: about value types - ok go ahead and set whatever number type that suits your case - i.e. positive integer for those values being entered through PMT app. I will make minor adjustment so that different value types are supported. For the situation indicators - or those data elements under data set "Target groups" - setting Number as value type will be ok and the system will support it.
Re: organisation units for category options - yes technically you can set that. But as of now applying restriction of category options per orgunit will only work for the "Target group" data set. I haven't considered filtering of category options per organisation in the PMT app. Also, this thing works best if you have a situation of the same thing - a data set and corresponding data elements for example - are being collected in all the districts but you do not want the same list of agency to apply for each organisation unit. With the thing you mentioned - all districts collecting a the same thing and using the same list of agency - filtering category options by organisation unit doesn't make sense. This is because you already have made the restriction by assigning those only the districts for your data sets.
Re: data element aggregation level - yes, this thing is a little confusing. Keep this in mind - aggregation level is a place you start upward aggregation i.e. if you set aggregation level "Province" - the system will aggregate starting from "Province" all the way up to "National", meaning no district data will be added. If you set "District" - it will start from District and all the way up. This thing comes handy if you are collecting the same data element at multiple levels. In your case, for example if data is collected both at Province and District levels and you wanted to see the performance at "Province" level - i.e. without necessarily adding data coming from District, you could set "Province" as aggregation level.
However, the situation in your case is data is collected only at district level. This is a default / natural case and no need to set aggregation level. The system by default will start aggregating from the lowest level that a data is collected and all the way up.
Thanks @abyot for the information - all is clear. And setting the multi-org unit forms worked for the SUM PMT data entry so I can start entering data for that.
Hi @abyot , I have been working on the metadata and completed all the steps we talked about. So far it has been going well but I have a couple questions for you.
