Feature List

Properties

  • Enter the base url URL for the OpenMRS server.  This should include the http://, and a the server port, and implementation directory, such as http://192.168.4.7:8080/openmrs
  • All other URLs are generated off this base URL. If this URL is incorrect, none of the form download, patient download, cohort download, patient creation, user authentication, or form submission features will work.

...

Shows a list of cohorts. Selecting a cohort causes the list of patients to be downloaded. Once the patients are downloaded, proceed to Patient List screen.  Note: you must have a saved cohort (a saved patient search is not adequate).  If you don't have a saved cohort, you cannot proceed to the forms.

Patient Select

This is the central screen of the app. It shows a list of patients. If there are no patients, load the Cohorts screen and download a list of available cohorts from the server. From this screen, it is possible to download more patients (via the cohort screen), view and download forms, create new OpenMRS patients, or view any unsent forms. Selecting a patient moves focus to the Patient Details screen, and then to the Form List screen.

...

  • Then go to File and click Save (this must be done to ensure the XFORM is created from the form).
  • Once saved, your XForm should be downloaded on the "Download Forms" option in the Form List on the device.

Feedback from Initial Testing (using Nokia N80 and MFU W71)

  • Failure to enter a valid base URL (for example omitting the port number), or if the server is unreachable causes  an "Unhandled exception. Close application?" error, if the user has not logged in previously.
  • The login is insecure.  The username and password are passed through a URL post to OpenMRS. On some phones, it shows the URL including the password in plain text when the user verifies that they want to connect to the server.  The username and password are included in the URL in the program settings for anyone to see also.
  • An "Exit" option should be added to each major section of the program, or some means of navigating to the main screen so you can exit properly.
  • Able to download cohorts, but xforms are not showing up from the server when trying to download forms.
