Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) allow users to configure the OpenMRS system's behavior. Some are provided by the OpenMRS core (see examples), and others by modules.

The Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) portlet lets you easily display the values of a subset of Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below), and edit them via ajax. This is especially useful if you want your module to have a configuration page, but you don't want to do a lot of work.

The portlet supports the following parameters:

  • 'propertyPrefix' will limit to only Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) starting with that prefix (e.g. "formimportexport.")
  • 'excludePrefix' will exclude Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) starting with that prefix (e.g. "formimportexport.started")
  • 'hidePrefix' a boolean decides whether or not to trim the prefix on what is displayed (i.e. "formentry.infopath_url" -> "infopath_url") (default false)
  • 'title' will display that title
  • 'showHeader' whether or not to show a header row in the table (default true)
  • 'readOnly' a boolean decides how Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) appear, if it has set readOnly to true the properties will be displayed non editable, if it is not readOnly there is an additional check to verify whether the user has privileges to manage Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below).If user is having the privileges the Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) are displayed editable otherwise readonly.

Example usage of the Settings (formerly Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) 1.8 and below) portlet (extracted from formimportexport module)

<openmrs:portlet
    url="globalProperties"
    parameters="title=${title}|propertyPrefix=formimportexport.|excludePrefix=formimportexport.started|hidePrefix=true|readOnly=false"/>
