About
When to use this module
The Concept Proposal Module (CPM) is intended to be used by for OpenMRS users that have created 1 or more new concepts in their local install of the concept dictionary, and believe that others would find it useful.
This module allows the user to submit their concept/s for review by the central dictionary administrator (Andrew Kanter at time of writing). If the administrator thinks the proposed concept/s are in fact useful and new, they can merge them into the central MVP-CIEL Concept Dictionary (Recommended recommended option).
The CPM also allows a user to send their new concept/s directly to another user, for example if they think only a few people would benefit from it. This option is not recommended, but there are instructions for doing that down the bottom of this page.
Installation
The CPM module is actually made up of two modules - submitter Proposal and reviewer.
To submit concept/s for review: install the submitter Proposal module.
To review concepts: install the submitter Proposal and reviewer Review modules.

The CPM allows the proposer and reviewer to maintain a conversation via comments within the proposal itselfCPM.
Reviewing a concept proposal
New proposals will appear under the 'Monitor
Review proposals' tab.
The reviewer can:
- comment on individual concepts within a proposal
- accept an individual concept (for inclusion into the dictionary) - this asks the reviewer to link it to the newly created concept
- link a proposed concept within a proposal to an existing concept in the dictionary
- reject a concept within a proposal
- delete an entire proposal
Status
A proposal can have be:
- Open / Submitted
- Closed
- Deleted (by reviewer)
- Does not exist in reviewer database (a bug)
Individual concepts within a proposal can be:
- Open
- New: <concept link>
- Existing: <concept link>
- Rejected
Submitting a proposal directly to another user (not recommended)
In the Settings tab, there's an option to enter the IP address of the target reviewer. By default this is set to XXXXXX. If you would like to submit your concept/s directly to another OpenMRS user, you will need to enter their IP address here.
