Organisation units, and Day 3 – Dataset assignment using the ART Monthly Report), please list
groups of data elements groups (with the members), data element group sets (with their
member data elements), category option groups (with their member options), category

 Diarrhea cases: (functional diarrhea, persistent diarrhea, severe persistent diarrhea)

Data Element Group Sets (member data element groups in bracket)

 Disease cases: (Malaria cases, Pneumonia cases, Diarrhea cases)

Sharing

You are tasked with setting up a system with the following three programs:

● HIV
● TB
● Malaria

Within each of these programs they will have the following users:

● National co-ordinators who will need to utilize data from all 3 programs. They can not
enter or edit any data, only view data from all 3 programs. Note that they can also
update metadata as forms or other variables are modified.
● District program managers that only need to see data within their own program for the
district they are working in. They should not be able to edit any data values or metadata.
● Data entry staff that will enter data into all 3 programs due to resource sharing. They
should also be able to view data for all 3 programs. They can not edit any metadata.
Fill in the following table using these options for each box. Note that one user can have multiple
items assigned to one box:

● Can view metadata/Can edit metadata

● Can view data/Can enter data
