There is now a new App called Configure Metadata on the main apps screen. If you want to configure a custom form to appear in the new UI, this is where you go.
Manage Forms
Under the Configure Metadata screen, there is now a new app to "Manage Forms". This is a new feature in OpenMRS 2.1. It is now possible to add custom forms to the new user interface without any custom programming! When you initially enter Manage Forms, it shows you a list of forms that exist in the system. Obviously, before you can configure where a custom form will appear in the system, you must create the form. Both HTML and XForms are supported, but they must be created through the legacy user interface, under System Administration - Advanced Administration.
...
Under the System Administration App, you will find system administration tools. This currently includes the Style Guide, especially useful to programmers, It also includes Advanced Administration which returns you from the new user interface to the legacy user interface. This is useful for configuring legacy settings and modules that don't yet have a user interface in the new UI; like Reporting and Facility Data Module for example. You also manage concepts, global properties and user accounts through this link.
OpenMRS Atlas
New to the OpenMRS 2.1 user interface is the OpenMRS Atlas configuration. When the implementation is first established, you must link ownership with an OpenMRS ID. Click “Sign in with your OpenMRS ID” and provide your OpenMRS ID and password. If your browser is already logged in to OpenMRS ID, it will use that account automatically when you click "Sign in".
