Advanced Administration > Dictionary
OpenMRS is built around an extensible concept framework. Simply put, this means that all patient readings, facts and observations are stored in a database, editable by the implementer, and not hard-coded into the database schema. You can use the dictionary interface to either look at the pre-installed concept definitions, or you can use it to write your own. If you’d like to search for concepts, some examples are:
BLOOD PRESSURE
HYPERTENSION
VISIT DIAGNOSES
The Advanced Administration app provides direct links to all of the features accessible through the other tabs, as well as database and system management interfaces. The best way to learn about these features is to try them out. Remember, this is a demo, reset hourly – feel free to try everything!

The My Profile tab allows you to change your user information.
