What is the Reports App?
Standard Report
Pre-built, printable summary of aggregate (monthly dataset) data for a selected facility and period. Ready to print or save as PDF.
Reporting Rate Summary
Shows which facilities have submitted data for a given dataset and month — and which haven't. Essential for completeness monitoring.
Aggregate Data Only
Reads from the monthly aggregate dataset (Data Entry app), not from the Capture event programmes.
Standard Report Overview
This Instance Has One Standard Report
"Section A — Adolescent Service Utilization (Health Facility)" — a formatted summary of the monthly aggregate dataset, broken into sections matching the data entry form.
Facility-Level Output
Run for a single org unit (health facility or ward) and one reporting period (month). Output is a formatted HTML table — ideal for printing and filing at the facility.
Use Cases
Monthly facility review meetings · paper records backup · supervisor verification visits · sharing printed summary with facility in-charge.
Data Source
Reads from: "Health facility data collection tools (Health facility level)" — the monthly dataset submitted via DHIS2 Data Entry app. Not the Capture programmes.
