Custom Forms give us a lot of flexibility, but as they become more complex, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS can get harder to maintain. In this video, I share a few practical ways to keep your Custom Form code organized and easier to update. How do you structure your Custom Form code in @dhis2.org ?

How do you create a Custom Form in DHIS2? In this short tutorial, I walk through the basics of creating a simple Custom Form using the HTML editor. A small example, but a useful starting point for understanding how Custom Forms work. Have you used Custom Forms in DHIS2 before?

Mayamiko Z Mendamenda @mayamikozo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

When Default or Section Forms aren't enough, Custom Forms give you more control over how a @dhis2.org data entry form looks and behaves. Custom Forms aren't necessarily “better” but they're another option when your requirements demand more control. Have you used Custom Forms before?

Moving from a Default Form to a Section Form in @dhis2.org ? A Section Form can give you more structure without needing to jump straight to a Custom Form. When you design DHIS2 data entry forms, what makes you decide it's time to move from Default to Section Forms? #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth #Metadata

Mayamiko Z Mendamenda @mayamikozo.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Need cleaner data entry in @dhis2.org without custom code? A Section Form sits right between a Default Form and a Custom Form giving you spreadsheet-style tables, subheadings, and greyed-out fields. Here is a quick walkthrough converting a Default Form to a Section Form. #DHIS2 #Metadata

Mayamiko Z Mendamenda @mayamikozo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Creating a @dhis2.org Default Form involves more than creating a dataset. I put together a simple checklist covering the key steps: Categories → Data Elements → Dataset → Access → Test A useful reference if you're working through DHIS2 metadata configuration. #DHIS2 #Metadata #DataElements

Mayamiko Z Mendamenda @mayamikozo.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Creating a Default Form in @dhis2.org Think of the dataset as the container or definition, and the default form as the simplest way that container is presented for data entry. A quick walkthrough of the key steps, building on earlier lessons about Categories and Category Combinations. #DHIS2

Metadata naming seems like a small detail… Until your @dhis2.org instance has hundreds of data elements. One implementation lesson changed how I think about naming metadata. 🎥 Before You Name Your Data Elements... Watch This #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth

I know I’ve done this in @dhis2.org before… But how do I do it again? The DHIS2 AI Assistant can help you find answers by letting you ask questions directly instead of searching through multiple pages of documentation. #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth #AI

Measuring public health behaviors like physical activity is incredibly tough compared to tracking diseases. In my latest video, I show how to build an aggregate dataset from scratch in @dhis2.org to track daily step goals. 📊🏃‍♂️ Link in the comments #DHIS2 #PublicHealth

Whether it's data entry forms, metadata, dashboards, or new features in @dhis2.org , the best solutions start with understanding the people who use them. Technology changes quickly. People don't. #DHIS2 #HumanCenteredDesign #Technology

Mayamiko Z Mendamenda @mayamikozo.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Health systems collect data on diseases, treatments, and outcomes. But how do we measure healthy behaviours? I've been working on a new DHIS2 tutorial that explores exactly that. 🎥 Coming soon. #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth

You’ve broken your data down by age and gender in @dhis2.org … But what are you actually measuring? That’s where data elements come in, with things like; number of voters or valid votes. I put together a short video explaining this (and how to set them up using CSV):

Mayamiko Z Mendamenda @mayamikozo.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Imagine trying to understand voter turnout… but only having totals. In @dhis2.org , this is where categories and category options come in (like age groups: 17–20, 21–24… up to 80+). Here is a quick way to create them quickly using CSV 👇 www.youtube.com/shorts/eD6MX...

Ever had to create lots of options in @dhis2.org ? Imagine adding 50 languages to a form field like: English Bemba Nyanja Tonga Lozi Ngoni Kaonde Ila Doing it one by one gets tedious fast. There’s a much quicker way 👇 🎥 youtube.com/shorts/tvihb... #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth

Learning alone isn’t always easy. It’s hard to see how much you really know (or don’t). That’s why I value the DHIS2 Academy and Community of Practice, where people from all over the world share how they use DHIS2 in different ways. Learning from others keeps me inspired. 💙 #DHIS2 #DHIS2Academy
