Tracker schema

The authoring flip side of d2w tracker register / enroll / add-event. DHIS2's tracker writes need a schema on the instance: the TrackedEntityType that names the kind of subject, and the TrackedEntityAttributes that describe the fields captured per enrolled TEI. Two accessors cover the leaf half of tracker-schema CRUD:

Accessor API path Purpose
client.tracked_entity_attributes /api/trackedEntityAttributes Atomic fields on a TEI (National ID, Given Name, DOB, …). CRUD + rename + common toggles (unique, generated, confidential, inherit, pattern).
client.tracked_entity_types /api/trackedEntityTypes The kind of TEI (Person, Case, Animal). CRUD + ordered attribute linkage through trackedEntityTypeAttributes[].
client.programs /api/programs Tracker container. Binds a TrackedEntityType, a set of TEAs on the enrollment form, a CategoryCombo, and the OUs that can capture. CRUD + add_attribute / remove_attribute for PTEA linkage + add_organisation_unit / remove_organisation_unit for OU scope.
client.program_stages /api/programStages Inner tracker-schema layer. Each stage owns an ordered programStageDataElements[] list (a join table with compulsory / displayInReports / allowFutureDate flags). CRUD + add_element / remove_element / reorder.

Scope

This page covers the full tracker-schema authoring chain: leaf resources (TrackedEntityAttribute + TrackedEntityType), the middle layer (Program + programTrackedEntityAttributes[]), and the inner layer (ProgramStage + programStageDataElements[]). Optional ProgramStageSection grouping (rarely used in the field) is still unauthored — reach for metadata patch if you need it.

TETA join table

Wiring a TEA onto a TET isn't a simple ref list — the link is a trackedEntityTypeAttributes[] entry that carries mandatory, searchable, and displayInList flags. The accessor's add_attribute / remove_attribute helpers round-trip the full TET, mutate the list, and PUT it back so those flags travel without a dedicated endpoint:

async with Dhis2Client(...) as client:
    national_id = await client.tracked_entity_attributes.create(
        name="National ID",
        short_name="NatID",
        unique=True,
        generated=True,
        pattern="RANDOM(#######)",
    )
    person = await client.tracked_entity_types.create(
        name="Person",
        short_name="Person",
        allow_audit_log=True,
        feature_type="NONE",
    )
    await client.tracked_entity_types.add_attribute(
        person.id,
        national_id.id,
        mandatory=True,
        searchable=True,
    )

Self-ref stripping

DHIS2's /api/trackedEntityTypes/{uid} read embeds trackedEntityTypeAttributes[].trackedEntityType = {id: <parent>} even though that field is the inverse side the importer rejects on PUT. The accessor strips it automatically before every update, mirroring the DataSet + DataSetElement workaround (BUGS tracker parity — same shape as _strip_self_ref_from_dse).

unique + generated + pattern

DHIS2 supports auto-generated attribute values for registration:

  • unique=True makes the value unique across the instance (National ID, passport number).
  • generated=True + pattern together mean DHIS2 auto-fills the value when a new TEI is registered.
  • Common patterns: "RANDOM(#######)" for a 7-digit random suffix, "#(ORGUNIT)(RANDOM)" to prefix the TEI's OU.

No *Spec builder

Same call as every other authoring accessor — keyword args. Continues the spec-audit data point.

CLI

# TrackedEntityAttribute
d2w metadata tracked-entity-attributes create \
    --name "National ID" --short-name NatID --value-type TEXT \
    --unique --generated --pattern "RANDOM(#######)"

# TrackedEntityType + attribute linkage
d2w metadata tracked-entity-types create \
    --name Person --short-name Person --allow-audit-log --feature-type NONE
d2w metadata tracked-entity-types add-attribute <TET_UID> <TEA_UID> --mandatory --searchable

Every list has an ls alias; every destructive verb accepts --yes / -y.

MCP

12 tools: metadata_tracked_entity_attribute_* (list / get / create / rename / delete), metadata_tracked_entity_type_* (list / get / create / rename / add-attribute / remove-attribute / delete).

Using them with tracker writes

The point of authoring these here is to make the tracker-write plugin usable end-to-end from CLI alone:

# 1. author the schema
d2w metadata tracked-entity-types create --name Person --short-name Person ...
# 2. use it
d2w tracker register --type <TET_UID> --ou <OU_UID> ...

See the tracker plugin for the write-side reference.

Program authoring

A Program binds everything together. Two flavours: WITH_REGISTRATION (tracker — requires a TET, enrolls individual TEIs) and WITHOUT_REGISTRATION (event program — captures anonymous events directly).

async with Dhis2Client(...) as client:
    program = await client.programs.create(
        name="Antenatal care",
        short_name="ANC",
        program_type="WITH_REGISTRATION",
        tracked_entity_type_uid=person.id,
        display_incident_date=True,
        only_enroll_once=True,
    )
    await client.programs.add_attribute(
        program.id,
        national_id.id,
        mandatory=True,
        searchable=True,
        sort_order=1,
    )
    await client.programs.add_organisation_unit(program.id, root_ou_uid)

PTEA join table + mergeMode=REPLACE quirk

programTrackedEntityAttributes[] is a nested join table (DHIS2's wire name is trackedEntityAttribute on the entry, not attribute). DHIS2 v42's PUT /api/programs/{uid} treats nested-list updates additively by default — items omitted from the payload are NOT removed. The accessor always passes ?mergeMode=REPLACE on PUT so remove_attribute behaves symmetrically.

OU scoping

add_organisation_unit / remove_organisation_unit use DHIS2's per-item shortcut (POST/DELETE /api/programs/{program}/organisationUnits/{ou}) — avoids the round-trip PUT entirely.

tracked_entity_attributes

TrackedEntityAttribute authoring — Dhis2Client.tracked_entity_attributes.

TrackedEntityAttributes are the atomic fields on a tracked entity (National ID, Given Name, Date of Birth, …). They get wired into a TrackedEntityType (via trackedEntityTypeAttributes[]) and/or into programs (via programTrackedEntityAttributes[]).

This module adds the CRUD primitives — the run / write side lives on Dhis2Client.tracker (the existing tracker write plugin).

  • create(...) — named kwargs over the minimal required subset (name, short_name, value_type, aggregation_type) plus the optional references (option_set_uid, legend_set_uids) and the common toggles (unique, generated, confidential, inherit, display_in_list_no_program, pattern).
  • update(tea) / rename(uid, ...) — standard edit pathways.
  • delete(uid) — DHIS2 rejects deletes on TEAs in use.

No *Spec builder — continues the spec-audit data point.

Create a TrackedEntityAttribute.

value_type defaults to TEXT; switch to NUMBER, DATE, PHONE_NUMBER, etc. via the ValueType StrEnum. unique=True makes the value unique across the instance (National ID, passport number). generated=True + pattern lets DHIS2 auto-generate the value when a TEI is registered (common for case IDs). option_set_uid constrains to an option-set picklist. confidential=True tags the attribute as sensitive for audit + sharing policies.

tracked_entity_types

TrackedEntityType authoring — Dhis2Client.tracked_entity_types.

A TrackedEntityType is the kind of subject a tracker program enrols (Person, Case, Animal). Each TET carries its own set of attributes via trackedEntityTypeAttributes[] — a join table that flags which TEAs are mandatory, searchable, and visible in the enrollment UI.

  • create(...) — named kwargs over the minimal required subset (name, short_name) plus common knobs (description, allow_audit_log, feature_type, min_attributes_required_to_search).
  • add_attribute(tet_uid, tea_uid, *, mandatory=False, searchable=False, display_in_list=True) — wire a TEA onto the TET by round-tripping the full TET, mutating trackedEntityTypeAttributes[], and PUTing back. Mirrors DataSet + DataSetElement.
  • remove_attribute(tet_uid, tea_uid) — drops the TEA ref from the TET.
  • rename(uid, ...) / delete(uid) — standard edit pathways.

No *Spec builder — continues the spec-audit data point.

Generated model for DHIS2 TrackedEntityType.

DHIS2 Tracked Entity Type - persisted metadata (generated from /api/schemas at DHIS2 v43).

API endpoint: /api/trackedEntityTypes.

Field Field(description=...) entries flag DHIS2 semantics the bare type can't capture: which side of a relationship owns the link (writable) vs the inverse side (ignored by the API), uniqueness constraints, and length bounds.

programs

Program authoring — Dhis2Client.programs.

A DHIS2 Program is the tracker container: it binds a TrackedEntityType (for WITH_REGISTRATION programs), a set of TrackedEntityAttributes shown on the enrollment form, and the OrganisationUnits that can capture enrollments or events. Programs come in two flavours:

  • WITH_REGISTRATION — tracker programs. Need a trackedEntityType and register individual TEIs before capturing events.
  • WITHOUT_REGISTRATION — event programs. Capture anonymous events directly; no TET required.

This module is the authoring flip side of the existing tracker-write plugin (d2w tracker register / enroll / add-event). The leaf half (TET + TEA) lives in tracked_entity_types.py / tracked_entity_attributes.py; the inner layer (ProgramStage + PSDE) ships in a follow-up.

Surface: - create(...) — named kwargs over the minimal required subset (name, short_name, program_type) plus the refs + common knobs. For WITH_REGISTRATION, tracked_entity_type_uid is required. - add_attribute(program_uid, tea_uid, ...) — wire a TEA into the enrollment form via the programTrackedEntityAttributes[] join table. - add_organisation_unit(program_uid, ou_uid) — scope the program to an OU. Tracker writes need at least one OU in scope to register. - rename(uid, ...) / delete(uid) — standard pathways. - set_labels(uid, ...) — v43-only: customise the enrollmentsLabel / eventsLabel / programStagesLabel UI strings (Capture / Tracker Capture apps). - set_change_log_enabled(uid, enabled) — v43-only: flip the enableChangeLog server-side audit toggle. - set_enrollment_category_combo(uid, cc_uid) — v43-only: set the enrollmentCategoryCombo alt-CC applied at enrollment time.

The three v43-only setters are deliberately split — they address unrelated concerns (UI text vs behavioural audit toggle vs data-model ref) that happen to land on the same v43 schema delta.

No *Spec builder — continues the spec-audit data point.

Create a Program.

program_type=WITH_REGISTRATION (default) requires tracked_entity_type_uid; pass WITHOUT_REGISTRATION for an event program that skips TEI registration. category_combo_uid defaults to the instance-wide default combo (DHIS2 rejects programs without a CC ref). display_incident_date + incident_date_label govern whether the enrollment form captures an incident date distinct from the enrollment date (required by some case-management flows).

ProgramStage authoring

Each Program owns a stage sequence (ANC 1st visit, ANC 2nd visit, …). Each stage owns an ordered programStageDataElements[] list — a join table with compulsory, displayInReports, allowFutureDate, allowProvidedElsewhere, renderOptionsAsRadio, sortOrder per entry.

stage = await client.program_stages.create(
    name="ANC 1st visit",
    program_uid=program.id,
    sort_order=1,
    repeatable=False,
    min_days_from_start=0,
    standard_interval=30,
)
await client.program_stages.add_element(
    stage.id,
    weight_de.id,
    compulsory=True,
    sort_order=0,
)
await client.program_stages.reorder(stage.id, [second_de.id, weight_de.id])

PSDE ordering helpers

  • add_element(stage_uid, de_uid, compulsory=..., sort_order=...) — appends a new PSDE entry with typed flags.
  • remove_element(stage_uid, de_uid) — drops the PSDE entry; other flags on the remaining entries are preserved.
  • reorder(stage_uid, [de_uids]) — replaces the ordered list; PSDE flags are preserved for DEs that stay in the list and sortOrder is rewritten to match the new position.

mergeMode=REPLACE quirk

DHIS2 v42's PUT /api/programStages/{uid} treats nested-list updates additively by default (same quirk as Programs). The accessor always passes ?mergeMode=REPLACE on PUT so remove_element actually removes the PSDE entry instead of silently retaining it.

PSDE self-ref strip

The generated PSDE entry carries programStage = {id: <parent>} on reads, which DHIS2's importer rejects on PUT (inverse side). Stripped automatically before every update — mirrors DataSet+DSE, TET+TETA, Program+PTEA.

program_stages

ProgramStage authoring — Dhis2Client.program_stages.

The inner layer of tracker schema authoring. A ProgramStage is a stage/visit inside a Program — ANC 1st visit, ANC 2nd visit, vaccination schedule entry, etc. Each stage owns an ordered list of programStageDataElements[] (a join table: which DEs the stage captures, in what order, with per-DE compulsory / displayInReports / allowFutureDate / allowProvidedElsewhere flags).

Ships step 3 of the tracker-schema stretch:

  • Step 1 (#188) — TrackedEntityAttribute + TrackedEntityType.
  • Step 2 (#189) — Program + PTEA + OU scope.
  • Step 3 (this) — ProgramStage + programStageDataElements[].

Surface:

  • create(...) — kwargs over the minimal required subset (name, program_uid) plus common knobs (repeatable, auto_generate_event, min_days_from_start, sort_order, validation_strategy, feature_type).
  • add_element(stage_uid, de_uid, *, compulsory, allow_future_date, display_in_reports, allow_provided_elsewhere, render_options_as_radio) — wire a DE into the stage's data-entry form via the PSDE join table. Round-trips the full stage + PUTs with mergeMode=REPLACE (matches the Program PUT quirk).
  • remove_element / reorder(stage_uid, [de_uids]).
  • rename(uid, ...) / delete(uid) — standard edit pathways.

No *Spec builder — continues the spec-audit data point.

Classes

ProgramStage

Bases: BaseModel

Generated model for DHIS2 ProgramStage.

DHIS2 Program Stage - persisted metadata (generated from /api/schemas at DHIS2 v43).

API endpoint: /api/programStages.

Field Field(description=...) entries flag DHIS2 semantics the bare type can't capture: which side of a relationship owns the link (writable) vs the inverse side (ignored by the API), uniqueness constraints, and length bounds.
