Dear DHIS2 Community,
We are excited to announce the release of Maps app version 100.8. This update introduces several user experience improvements and exciting new functionality.
Maps app version 100.8 Release notes:
Note: Update directly to 100.8.1 or later. Version 100.8.1 fixes a bug affecting timeline maps in dashboards introduced in 100.8.0.
Thematic Layers | Docs
The Period tab has been completely redesigned to improve flexibility and clarity:
- It now uses the same period selector as other analytics apps, allowing selection of multiple periods and support for non-Gregorian calendars. | Jira
- Mapping options (Single, Timeline, or Split Map) are now more clearly displayed with icons and improved information messages.
- All mapping options now support multiple periods selections, including mixed selections of different period types, fixed and/or relative presets | Jira
- Start and End Date inputs use the **new standard calendar (**currently limited to accepting dates converted to the Gregorian calendar) which supports translation and improves keyboard entry.
- When switching between Presets and Start-end dates, the previous selection is restored. | Jira
Event & Tracked Entity Layers | Docs 1 & Docs 2
In the Period tab, the new standard calendar is also used for start and end date selection.
Other Usability Enhancements
- Users can now select their organisation unit in combination with other organisation units across all layer types | Jira
-
New keyboard shortcuts are available:
- Tab / Shift+Tab to switch back and forth between start and end date inputs.
- Press Esc to close dialogs (layer add/edit, download mode, layer sources management…) and popups in the map.
- Long-press Esc to close sidebars (interpretations, organisation unit profile) and the data table.
-
Dialogs (layer add/edit and layer sources management) now feature an “x” button for easier closing.

-
The timeline now resizes dynamically when the window size changes or sidebars are opened/closed.
The Maps app is on continuous release, compatible with 2.40 and above. You can download the new release from DHIS2 App Hub or test it out on DHIS2 Play.
Thank you for your continuous support!
Best regards,
