  6. Paste this into the Definition (required) field.
  7. Modify the ID to represent the ID you specified in step 4 above.  For example, change "id": "referenceapplication.registrationapp.registerPatient", to "id": "referenceapplication.registrationapp.myRegisterPat",
  8. Modify the URL line to represent the ID you specified in step 4 above.  For example, change "url": "registrationapp/registerPatient.page?appId=referenceapplication.registrationapp.registerPatient", to "url": "registrationapp/registerPatient.page?appId=referenceapplication.registrationapp.myRegisterPat",
  9. If you prefer, you can change the "description" and "label" fields to your liking, for example, name them in your language.  You can also change the icon and order to your liking.
  10. Save the new App configuration.

Info
titleNotes:
  • If you have a syntax error, it will give you an error "Invalid Json", and not let you save it until fixed.
  • If you didn't change the App ID in the Json, it will give you an error "The App ID should match the one in the definition" when you try to save it.
  • If the App name is too long, it will give you an error like, "Failed to save referenceapplication.registrationapp.myRegisterPatient", and not let you save it.

  1. Find the UUID of the Person Attribute Type (s) that you want to add to the Registration App. 
    1. Go to System Administration --> Advanced Administration --> Manage Person Attribute Types
    2. Click on the name of the Person Attribute, for example "Mother's Name".
    3. You will find the UUID listed in grey, for example... 8d871d18-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f
    Note: If the person attribute you want to add doesn't yet exist, you can create it here.
  2. Open the App you created in the Initial Steps above.
  3. In the list of sections you can add a new section, or you can simply add the person attribute to an existing section.  Sections and fields are separated with a comma.  The code to add a question of Mother's Name is...

    Code Block
    languagejava
    titleMother Name Person Attribute Field
          {
           "type": "personAttribute",
           "label": "Mother's Name",
           "formFieldName": "mothersName",
           "uuid": "8d871d18-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f",
           "widget": {
                      "providerName": "uicommons",
                      "fragmentId": "field/text"
                     }
           }

    If you want to add the question in a section of it's own, you would use something like this, placed in the list of sections...

    Code Block
    languagejava
    titlePerson Attribute in own section
    {
        "legend": "My Person Attribute",
        "id": "myPersonAttributeLabel",
        "fields": [
          {
           "type": "personAttribute",
           "label": "Mother's Name",
           "formFieldName": "mothersName",
           "uuid": "8d871d18-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f",
           "widget": {
                      "providerName": "uicommons",
                      "fragmentId": "field/text"
                     }
           }
          ]
    }


  4. Change the "uuid": value to the UUID of the Person Attribute that you want to appear in the Registration App.
  5. Save your App and enjoy!

Info
titleNotes:
  • You must create your Person Attribute Types before adding them to the Registration App. You can find instructions at Managing Person Attribute Types.
  • Coded Person Attributes are not currently supported in the Registration App.

  • You can add multiple Person Attribute fields to a single section.
  • You can add fields to the demographics section by naming the section "demographics" in your json file. Whatever fields you add will be added after the patient's birth date question.
  • The sections will be ordered in the form exactly how in the same exact  way they are ordered in the json. This includes the ability to collect fields before the patient's demographic information is collected.
    • The only exception to this is the question that asks if the registration was done today when retrospective registrations are enabled.
  • You can make a particular field required by adding a "cssClasses": ["required"] after the "widget" declaration in the field. The following code block shows the cssClasses declaration that makes the phone number required:

    Code Block
    "fields": [
    	{
    		"type": "personAttribute",
    		"label": "registrationapp.patient.phone.question",
    		"formFieldName": "phoneNumber",
    		"uuid": "14d4f066-15f5-102d-96e4-000c29c2a5d7",
    		"widget": {
    			"providerName": "uicommons",
    			"fragmentId": "field/text"
    		},
    		"cssClasses": ["phone","required"]
    	}
    ]


...

Combining registration sections into one section is achievable by setting "combineSections" to true. This combines all the registration sections' questions/sub-sections into the demographics section. The following line can be added to the config section of the Registration App Definition to allow for combining of sections into one.

Code Block
"config": {
	"combineSections":true
}

...

Note: The app needs to have an address field. If it does not, such as in the "registrationapp.basicRegisterPatient" (defined in openmrs-module-registrationapp/omod/src/main/resources/apps/registrationapp_app.json) you will receive the following errors:


ERROR - PixPatientExporter.exportPatient(47) |2018-06-25 15:07:18,328| java.util.NoSuchElementException

...

Thus, if you use a registration app that has all the required fields, such as the referenceapplication.registrationapp.registerPatient that comes with the reference application, it will not produce that error.

To map identifiers from MPI server to local OpenMRS application, you have to specify how they maps map on each other. Of course, first of all you have to create proper identifier types in Managing patient identifiers console& (For example: you can see that in the screenshot above there is a ECID identifier, which was created for mapping).
