HTML Form Entry Module Reference
Reference for writing HTML for the Html Form Entry Module
Tag Reference
<appointments>
Available since 5.3.0. Requires the Bahmni Appointments module to be installed and running.
This tag fetches all the appointments for the current patient with the status "Scheduled", as well (in edit mode) any appointments linked to the current encounter by the appointment's "fulfilling encounter" property.
Appointments are sorted in reverse chronological order with a check box next to each one. Upon submit, all checked appointments will have their status set to "CheckedIn" and the current encounter added to the appointment as a fulfilling encounter.
In edit mode, if an appointment is unchecked, the current encounter is removed from the list of fulfilling encounters associated with the appointment. However, the status is not modified.
In view edit mode, the tag will simply display all the appointments for which the current encounter is a "fulfilling encounter".
Attributes
- class: will apply the specified class to each span that wraps each individual appointment checkbox and label
- OPTIONAL
Default: none
<code>
See <translations>
<condition>
This tag lets you record a condition linked to the form's submitted encounter.
WARNING - This tag is supported from OpenMRS 2.3.3. The tag may work to a certain extent from Core 2.2.2 as some support for it was introduced too soon, however we strongly discourage this and suggest to upgrade Core appropriately.
Attributes
- required: this is used for validation, and if true the form will not be able to be submitted without the required condition otherwise the form would be submitted.
OPTIONAL
Value: "true" or "false"
Default: false
- controlId:
- REQUIRED
- Value: a unique string (within the form) to identify the condition control within the form.
- showAdditionalDetail: this toggles the visibility of the additional detail text box.
- OPTIONAL
Value: "true" or "false"
Default: false
Example Usage
<htmlform> ...stuff goes here... <!-- For cases were a condition is required --> <condition controlId="cond1" required="true"/> <!-- For cases were a condition is not required and additional detail is visible --> <condition controlId="cond2" showAdditionalDetail="true"/> </htmlform>
<completeProgram>
Automatically completes a PatientProgram on the encounterDate when the form is submitted. This only happens if there is a valid PatientProgram for the patient on the encounterDate. If the program has outcomes configured, then if the same concept is used on the form, that concept will be the outcome of that patient's program.
An example usage would be for a transfer form, when a patient is being transferred permanently out of the district, or if you have finite programs like maybe for PMTCT, for example. The PMTCT program could have the outcome concept, "PMTCT Outcomes" assigned with concept set or coded answer members "Child Died", "Child HIV Positive", "Child HIV Negative". An observation with the coded answer "Child Died" on the form would activate the "Child Died" program outcome.
This is a complementary tag to the enrollInProgram tag. Available in htmlformentry 1.7.4.
Attributes
- programId: ID or UUID of the program, or name of the associated concept, in which the patient is to be enrolled.
- REQUIRED
- Examples:
- <completeProgram programId="1"/>
- <completeProgram programId="9b45541a-e8f0-41ff-a55a-445b08a8d8b5"/>
- <completeProgram programId="Rehab program"/>
- Value: Any valid program ID, program UUID or underlying concept name
- Default: None.
WARNING -- Changing the answer to the "outcome" observation will not change the outcome of the program.
<controls>
Conditionally displays a section of html content when an observation is set to a certain value. When a section is hidden, any inputs in it are cleared.
The <controls> tag is only allowed inside an
/> tag. It should contain one or more <when/> tags.
It will be triggered when the form is first loaded, as well as when the <obs> field changes value.
Available since 2.1.6.
Attributes
None
Example Usage
<obsgroup groupingConceptId="1"> <p> Disposition: <obs id="whatKind" conceptId="2" answerConceptIds="3,4,5"> <controls> <when value="3" thenDisplay="#admit-section"/> <when value="4" thenDisplay="#discharge-section"/> </controls> </obs> <p> <p id="admit-section"> Admission diagnosis: <obs concept="100"/> </p> ... </obsgroup>
<drugOrder>
NOTE - This tag is deprecated.
For htmlformentry versions < 4.0.0:
Documentation on the drugOrder tag for versions prior to 4.0.0 can be found at the bottom of this page, under "Legacy Version of Tags".
For htmlformentry versions >= 4.0.0:
In htmlformentry 4.0.0, the drugOrder tag was rewritten from the ground up as a more generic "order" tag. See the "order" tag section below for full documentation.
The "drugOrder" tag is simply a wrapper class that delegates to the order tag and allows for the "orderType" attribute to be excluded as long as their is only a single Order Type configured of class "org.openmrs.DrugOrder"
<encounterDate>
Data entry widget for recording encounter date. Along with encounterLocation and encounterProvider, encounterDate should be present on every HTML form.
Attributes
- default: Specifies default value for encounterDate widget.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <encounterDate default="today"/>
- Value: "today", "now", or ?????
- Default: None
- showTime: The showTime attribute determines if the encounterDate widget is date-only or date and time.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <encounterDate showTime="true"/>
- Value: "true" or "false"
- Default: False - Widget is date-only
- disallowMultipleEncountersOnDate: This will warn the user that this Form type has been entered for this Patient on this Encounter date. This will prevent duplicate paper entries of the same form. The mechanism for this is an ajax popup that is presented to the user after selecting an encounter date (only if there is already a form submitted of the same type for that date for that patient).
- OPTIONAL
- As of version 1.8.0
- Example: <encounterDate disallowMultipleEncountersOnDate ="warn"/>
- Value: "warn" or "block": 'warn' will only warn the user that they may be entering a duplicate form. 'block' will give the warning, and will then clear the encounterDate field, thus making the form un-submittable.
- Default: there is no default. You must choose one of the above.
- widget: preliminary support for having different widgets (in enter/edit mode).
- OPTIONAL
- As of version 2.5
- Example: <encounterDate widget="hidden"/>
- Value: "hidden" (or no value)
- (no value): Standard widgets (jQuery UI datepicker, optional dropdowns for hour, minute, second)
- hidden: In enter/edit mode, there will be no visible widgets, but just <input type="hidden" .../> (one for date, and optionally 3 for hour, minute, second); This is for the advanced use case where you want to provide custom widgets that will set the values of the hidden inputs via javascript.
- Default: none standard widgets
Example Usage
<encounterDate/> <!-- an initially-blank date widget --> <encounterDate default="today"/> <!-- a date widget pre-filled with today's date --> <encounterDate showTime="true"/> <!-- a date and time widget --> <encounterDate showTime="true" default="now"/> <!-- a date and time widget defaulting to the time on the server -->
<encounterDiagnoses> & <encounterDiagnosesByObs>
Data entry widgets bundled within the Core Apps module (and not HTML Form Entry) for recording encounter diagnoses with auto-completion. It can record multiple diagnoses marking them as presumed/confirmed and/or primary/secondary. Either of <encounterDiagnoses>
or <encounterDiagnosesByObs>
tag can be used at-most once in an HTML form.
Attributes
- required: Specifies that the diagnoses field must be completed/filled.
- OPTIONAL
- Example:
<encounterDiagnoses required="true"/>
- Value: "true", "false"
- Default: false
- selectedDiagnosesTarget: Specifies the id of the
<div>
container where the selected diagnoses are displayed.- REQUIRED
- Example:
<encounterDiagnoses selectedDiagnosesTarget="encounter-diagnoses-target"/>
<div id="encounter-diagnoses-target"></div>
- Value: can be any valid HTML safe id
- Default: There is no default for this and therefore should be provided as illustrated in the above example.
- preferredCodingSource: This is used to notify the user that choices that are presented to him through the autocomplete don't pertain to a preferred source.
- OPTIONAL
- As of version Core Apps 1.23.0
- Example:
<encounterDiagnoses preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO"/>
- Value: A valid concept source name, e.g "ICD-10-WHO", "CIEL", "ICPC2", ... etc.
- Default: "ICD-10-WHO"
- diagnosisConceptClasses: Specifies one or more concept classes in a form of a comma separated string to search in. Can be used together with diagnosisConceptSources.
- OPTIONAL
- As of version 1.23.0
- Examples:
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisConceptClasses="Diagnosis"/>
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisConceptClasses="Diagnosis,Finding"/>
- Value: A valid concept class e.g "Diagnosis", list of classes "Diagnosis,Finding"
- diagnosisConceptSources: Specifies one or more concept sources in a form of a comma separated string to search in. Can be used together and works well with diagnosisConceptClasses.
- OPTIONAL
- As of version 1.23.0
- Examples:
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisConceptSources="CIEL"/>
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisConceptSources="CIEL,ICPC2"/>
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisConceptSources="0"/>
NOTE: pointing to a null concept source ensures that no default will be used, it will remove the concept sources as a space for the search.<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisConceptSources=""/>
NOTE: pointing to an empty concept source will lead to using the defaults. - Value: A valid concept sources e.g "ICD-10-WHO", list of sources "CIEL,ICPC2" or "0" (zero)
- Default: "ICD-10-WHO"
- diagnosisSets: Specifies the concept sets of diagnoses to search from. Can be one or more comma separated string of UUIDs, concept mappings (e.g CIEL:160170) or combination of both representing the sets. This when provided, overrides the default globally configured set of sets of diagnoses to search from.
- OPTIONAL
- As of version 1.23.0
- Examples:
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisSets="160170AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,160169AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"/>
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisSets="CIEL:160170,CIEL:160169"/>
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisSets="CIEL:160170,160170AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"/>
<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisSets="0"/>
NOTE: pointing to a null concept set ensures that no default will be used, it will remove the concept sets as a space for the search.<encounterDiagnoses diagnosisSets=""/>
NOTE: pointing to a empty concept set will lead to using the defaults. - Value: comma separated string of UUID or Concept Mappings or both or "0". When "0" (zero) is used, this means that the default globally defined concept sets are not used to search in.
- Default: concepts contained in the sets globally defined by a set of sets concept (CIEL:160167 or 160167AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA).
- IMPORTANT NOTE: When the
diagnosisSets
is specified either through global defaults or provided in this HFE tag, the name search for diagnoses within classes and/or sources is bypassed. This means that the name search only operates within those sets, such that the classes and/or sources are ignored. To globally define diagnosis concepts sets and/or diagnosis concept sources, edit the emr.concept.diagnosisSetOfSets and emrapi.conceptSourcesForDiagnosisSearch global properties respectively.
Example Usages
The following examples are identical to using the <encounterDiagnosesByObs/>
tag.
<encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO"/> <encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO" diagnosisConceptSources="ICD-10-WHO"/> <encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO" diagnosisConceptClasses="Diagnosis"/> <encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO" diagnosisConceptClasses="Diagnosis" diagnosisConceptSources="0"/> <encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO" diagnosisSets="CIEL:160170,CIEL:160169"/> <encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO" diagnosisSets="CIEL:160170,CIEL:160169"/> <encounterDiagnoses required="true" selectedDiagnosesTarget="#encounter-diagnoses-target" preferredCodingSource="ICD-10-WHO" diagnosisSets="160170AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,160169AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"/>

<encounterProviderAndRole>
(since 1.9; requires htmlformentry19ext module)
Data entry widget for recording one or more providers for the encounter, along with the roles those providers played in the encounter.
Note that "provider roles" and "encounter roles" are different things. Providers have provider roles, e.g. "Yemi is a surgeon." A provider may have an encounter role within an encounter, e.g. "Yemi was the lead surgeon for this encounter."
If the encounterRole
attribute is not provided, the widget renders as a pair of dropdowns. The first allows selecting from a list of providers; the second allows selecting from a list of encounter roles. If the encounterRole
attribute is provided, the encounter role dropdown is omitted.
Note that this tag cannot be repeated in the usual fashion; see the "Note" below. Instead, use the count
and providerWidgetSeparator
attributes.
Attributes
All attributes are optional
- default: Sets default provider for the widget (id or uuid of a Provider, or "currentUser").
- If you specify "currentUser" but the currently-logged-in user does not have a Provider record associated with their Person record, nothing happens. (If that user has more than one Provider record, one is chosen arbitrarily.)
- encounterRole: Use the given
encounterRole
instead of rendering a dropdown.- If the
encounterRole
attribute is not provided, the widget renders as a pair of dropdowns. The first allows selecting from a list of providers; the second allows selecting from a list of encounter roles. If theencounterRole
attribute is provided, the encounter role dropdown is omitted; the provider is added to the encounter with the encounter role given as the value of this attribute. - Value: id or uuid of an encounterRole
- If the
- providerRoles: Limit the list of possible providers to those with any of the specified
providerRoles
- Example: <encounterProviderAndRole providerRoles="8" />
- Value: Comma separated list of provider role id or uuid
- Requires that the Provider Management module be installed
- since HFE 1.9 Extensions 1.2
- required: when true, the form cannot be submitted unless you have chosen a provider
- autocompleteProvider: When true, the provider widget is rendered in autocomplete search box in which user is expected to type the few characters used to search for a particular provider (s).
- Value: true or false
- Default: false
- Example: <encounterProviderAndRole autocompleteProvider="true"/>
- since HFE 1.9 Extensions 1.6
- providerMatchMode: Used in conjunction with autocompleteProvider attribute to specify the position to match search text in provider identifier/names.
- Values: START, END, ANYWHERE (Default is START)
- Example: <encounterProviderAndRole autocompleteProvider="true" providerMatchMode="ANYWHERE" />
- Since HFE 1.9 Extensions 1.6
- count: Repeat this widget
count
times. See the "Note" below.- Default: 1
- providerWidgetSeparator: If using
count
, this HTML is inserted in between each widget.- Default: ", "
- Since: htmlformentry version 3.10.0
Example:
<div class="provider-grid"> <div> <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="98bf2792-3f0a-4388-81bb-c78b29c0df92" count="2" providerWidgetSeparator="</div><div>"/> </div> </div>
Example Usage
<encounterProviderAndRole/> <!-- dropdown of encounter roles : dropdown of providers --> <encounterProviderAndRole default="currentUser"/> <!-- dropdown of encounter roles : dropdown of providers with one chosen by default --> <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="1" required="true"/> <!-- dropdown of providers, required for submission --> <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="2" default="3"/> <!-- dropdown of providers, with one chosen by default --> <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="2" count="2"/> <!-- display 2 dropdown of providers, for encounter role 2 --> <encounterProviderAndRole autocompleteProvider="true" encounterRole="1" /> <!--display an autocomplete search box for provider-->
Notes
Currently, only one encounterProviderAndRole tag is is supported per encounter role, and only a single tag without a encounterRole is supported. For instance, the following two examples below would be illegal:
<!-- can't have two tags without specifying a role --> First Provider: <encounterProviderAndRole/> Second Provider: <encounterProviderAndRole/> <!-- can't have two tags with the same provider role --> First Doctor: <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="2" /> Second Doctor: <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="2"/> First Nurse: <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="3" /> Second Nurser: <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="3"/> <!-- proper way to specific multiple providers of different roles --> Doctors: <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="2" count="2"/> <!-- renders two dropdowns for providers --> Nurses: <encounterProviderAndRole encounterRole="3" count="2"/>
<encounterType>
Used to specify the Encounter Type while filling out an HTML Form rather than when designing the form. When using this tag, the "Encounter Type" field of the HTML Form design should be left blank.
Attributes
- types: comma-separated list of encounterTypes to display in the select list, referenced by id, uuid, or name
- default: the default encounterType, referenced by id, uuid or name
Example Usage
<encounterType types="25,24,9,23,20,14,18,22,19,13,10,17,26,11,12,16,21,15,27" default="CLINIC MOBILE" />
<encounterVoided>
In edit mode only, for an existing encounter, renders a voided checkbox that allows you to void the encounter. There are no tag arguments. Available in htmlformentry1.7.4. This tag does not render anything when entering a new form, or when viewing an existing encounter (viewing the encounter implies already implies that the encounter is not voided).
Example Usage
<encounterVoided/>
<enrollInProgram>
Enrolls a patient in a program when the form is submitted.
To automatically un-enroll a patient, see the completeProgram tag.
Specifics about this enrollment behavior:
- If the patient is already in the program on the selected date, nothing changes
- If the patient is registered in the program after the selected date, then the patient's enrollment date will be moved back to the selected date, otherwise, patient is enrolled on selected date
- Otherwise, the patient is enrolled as requested
- If state ids are specified, these patient states are set upon program enrollment
- If the patient is already enrolled in the program when this form is submitted, the patient states are NOT automatically set; however, if the enrollment date is changed (via the logic above) all the states that have a start date equal to the enrollment date are changed to the new enrollment date
- This tag is invalid if any of the states listed are not initial states, or if two or more of the states are from the same workflow
- If the showDate parameter is not used, the encounterDate tag must appear above the enrollInProgram tag. See Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
Attributes
- locationTag: if specified, the enrollment location of the patient program is set to the encounter location if the encounter location is tagged with the specified tag; otherwise it searches up through the parent locations of the location and uses the first location found with that tag. If no matching location found with that tag, enrollment location is not set. Note that this only sets the location on initial enrollment, it does not edit the enrollment location if the encounter location is later edited. Also, note that if this tag is not present, no enrollment location is set (which was default behavior before introduction of this tag).
- OPTIONAL
- Example:
- <enrollInProgram programId="Rehab program" locationTag="Program Location"/>
- Since version 3.12.0
- programId: ID or UUID of the program, or name of the associated concept, in which the patient is to be enrolled.
- REQUIRED
- Examples:
- <enrollInProgram programId="1"/>
- <enrollInProgram programId="9b45541a-e8f0-41ff-a55a-445b08a8d8b5"/>
- <enrollInProgram programId="Rehab program"/>
- Value: Any valid program ID, program UUID or underlying concept name
- Default: None
- showDate: If true, a date widget is displayed and the patient is enrolled on the selected date; if false, or if no date selected, the patient is enrolled on the encounter date
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <enrollInProgram programId="1" showDate="true"/>
- Value: true or false
- Default: False
- showCheckbox: If true, a checkbox widget is displayed. The patient is only enrolled if the box is checked. If the patient is already enrolled, the box is checked and disabled – it cannot be used to un-enroll a patient. Whether or not the patient is enrolled is based on the existing encounter date if there is one, else the default encounter date, else today.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <enrollInProgram programId="1" showCheckbox="true"/>
- Value: true or false
- Default: False
- Since version 3.9.0
- toggle: If showCheckbox is enabled, specifies the ID of a DOM element to hide or dim when the checkbox is unticked.
- OPTIONAL
- showCheckbox must be "true"
- The toggle attribute accepts two syntaxes:
Basic: The basic syntax simply accepts the ID of the DOM element. It hides the element when the checkbox is not ticked.
<enrollInProgram id="ANC" showCheckbox="true" toggle="anc-form"/> <div id="anc-form"> Favorite baby name <obs conceptId="101" style="textarea"/> </div>
Advanced: The more advanced syntax accepts a JSON structure with the attributes "id" and "style". The "id" attribute is the ID of the DOM element that you wish to hide or disable. The "style" attribute accepts either "hide" (default) or "dim". The "hide" style completely hides the target element until the checkbox is checked. The "dim" style greys-out and disables the child components of the target element until the checkbox is checked.
<enrollInProgram id="ANC" showCheckbox="true" toggle="{ id: 'anc-form', style: 'dim' }"/> <div id="anc-form"> Fetal hair color <obs conceptId="102" style="textarea"/> </div>
- Since version 3.9.0
- stateIds: A comma-separated list of program work flow states ids
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <enrollInProgram programId="1" stateIds="3, 444ce6ba-551d-11e1-8cb6-00248140a5eb, PIH:356789"/>
- Value: Any valid program workflow state id, program workflow state uuid, or concept mapping of the underlying concept for the state
- Default: None
- If you reference states by concept mappings, be careful that you don't have two states in the same program with the same underlying concept, or unpredictable results will occur!
<excludeIf>
A tag that optionally exclude all its content based on evaluating a logic token or a velocity expression. This tag has to only contain either a logic test or a velocity test.
NOTE: logicTest is not available in htmlformentry version 4.0.0+
Attributes
- logicTestA logic expression represents a logic test.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <excludeIf logicTest="GENDER = F"/> - A logic test to see if the patient's gender is female
- velocityTestA velocity expression represents a velocity test.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <excludeIf velocityTest="$patient.gender == 'F' "/> - A velocity test to see if the patient's gender is female.
Example Usage
<htmlform> <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr><td><includeIf logicTest="GENDER = F">This shows a logic test for a woman</includeIf> </td></tr> <tr><td><includeIf velocityTest="$patient.gender == 'F' ">This shows a velocity test for a woman</includeIf> </td></tr> <tr><td><excludeIf logicTest="GENDER = F">This won't show for a logic test for a woman</excludeIf> </td></tr> <tr><td><excludeIf velocityTest="$patient.gender == 'F' ">This won't show for a velocity test for a woman</excludeIf> </td></tr> </table> </htmlform>
<exitFromCare>
This tag is used to record the scenario where a patient exits care. It operates in a similar manner to the exit from care functionality on the patient dashboard, providing a date field and a reason dropdown to the user. To exit a patient from care, the date field should be set to the date of the patient's exit and the reason dropdown set to the reason for the patient's exit. Exiting a patient from care is not mandatory, however once the fields are filled out and submitted for a certain patient, the exit can't be undone, hence the fields can't be set back to empty. However it is possible to edit the date and reason fields.
The possible reasons for exiting care are specified by setting the global property concept.reasonExitedCare. This should point to a question concept; the associated answer concepts will be used to populate the reason dropdown presented to the user.
The tag is also used to mark a patient's death, when 'the death of the patient' is the reason for exiting from care, by providing an additional dropdown to set the cause of death. If the user selects the reason dropdown answer as "Patient Died", a new dropdown will be visible for the user to enter the 'Cause of Death'. The possible causes for patient's death are specified by setting the global property concept.causeOfDeath. This should point to a question concept; the associated answer concepts will be used to populate the cause of death dropdown presented to the user.
If user selects the 'Cause of Death' dropdown answer as "Other Non-coded", there will be another text field visible to manually enter the reason for the death, as the exact cause is not given in the cause dropdown. Here the user can type any of the reason,description etc. which caused the patient's death.
Once the cause of death and other reason text fields are filled out and submitted for a certain patient, the death obs can't be undone. However it is possible to change the reason for exit field back to an answer other than "Patient Died", so the exit observation can be edited back. Then it will not display the death fields' entries but the death obs still exists. It is also possible to edit the cause of death and other reason fields too.
Example Usage
<exitFromCare/>

<macros>
The macro tag enables one to define a set of constants that can be referred to within the form. Some of it's more common uses are:
- Encapsulation and consistency: eg. define a particular color code that you want to use throughout the form, and refer to this as a variable
- Readability and maintenance: eg. define the uuids for all of the concepts you wish to refer to in the macros section, and refer to these by more readable variable names throughout the form. Keep all uuid definitions in one place for easier maintenance.
Prior to release 2.6, the only way to define macros was as a properties-style text block within the body of the macros tag. This is maintained beyond 2.6 for backwards compatibility. An example of this can be seen below:
Example Usage
<htmlform> <macros> lightgrey=#e0e0e0 lightblue=#e0e0ff darkblue=#4444ff </macros> <div style="background-color: $lightblue">This is a pleasant light blue color</div> </htmlform>
As of release 2.6, macros can also be defined using xml tags (see syntax below). The added benefit added here was the ability to supply either a "value" attribute, which simply assigns a constant value to the macro, OR to supply an "expression" attribute, which enables assigning a macro value based on the evaluation of a velocity expression. This exposes the same capabilities as the lookup tag, with the same syntax as one would use in that tag. Examples below:
Related Tags
<macro> (from version 2.6)
Used to define a particular macro variable that can be re-used on the form.
Attributes
- key: The name by which the macro should be referred to in the form. A key of "lightblue" would be referred to with the syntax "$lightblue".
- REQUIRED
- Example: <macro key="color" value="#e0e0ff" />
- Value: Any quoted string.
- Default: None
- value: The value to assign to the macro
- REQUIRED if no expression attribute is present
- Example: <macro key="color" value="#e0e0ff" />
- Value: Any quoted string.
- Default: None
- expression: A velocity expression that can be evaluated into the macro value
- REQUIRED if no value attribute is present
- Example: <macro key="color" expression="fn.globalProperty('mymodule.theme.color')" />
- Value: Any valid velocity expression (see <lookup> tag for reference)
- Default: None
Example Usage
<htmlform> <macros> <macro key="backgroundColor" value="#e0e0e0"/> <macro key="weight" expression="fn.globalProperty('concept.weight')"/> </macros> <div style="background-color: $backgroundColor">Weight: <obs conceptId="$weight"/></div> </htmlform>
<markPatientDead>
When a form with this tag is submitted (in either Enter or Edit mode) then the patient will be marked as deceased, with a date and cause as specified by tag attributes.
Since 2.4.
Attributes
- deathDateFromEncounter
- if true, sets Person.deathDate to this encounter's datetime when saving the form (in Enter or Edit mode)
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <markPatientDead deathDateFromEncounter="true"/>
- Value: true/false
- Default: true

- if true, and Person.deathDate is already set, then do not override it when saving the form.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <markPatientDead deathDateFromEncounter="true" preserveExistingDeathDate="true"/>
- Value true/false
- Default: false
- causeOfDeathFromObs
- If specified, then submitting this form will set Person.causeOfDeath based on an obs in the saved encounter that has the specified concept.
- If not specified, then submitting this form will set Person.causeOfDeath to Unknown (as specified by the global property concept.unknown)
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <markPatientDead causeOfDeathFromObs="CIEL:1543"/>
- Value: a concept (by id, uuid, or reference)
- Default: none
<obs>
Generates an obs data entry widget. Depending on the datatype of the concept you specify, you get different obs.value widgets, and you use different attributes to control them.
Data Types
Numeric
By default, displays a small text box that auto-checks that entries are between absoluteMinimum and absoluteMaximum for the concept, and checks on precise also. You can also specify a constrained list of answers, as radio button or a dropdown (Since 1.6.1) Example:
<!-- free text box (constrained to legal numbers) --> <obs conceptId="5497" labelText="Most recent CD4:" dateLabel="Date of test:"/> <!-- constrained to None, 1-6, and 7-8 --> <obs conceptId="123" labelText="Education" answers="0,6,8" answerLabels="None,1-6,7-8" style="radio"/> <obs conceptId="123" labelText="Education" answers="0,6,8" answerLabels="None,1-6,7-8" style="dropdown"/>
You can also specify answerCodes instead of answerLabels to reference answer labels by codes in messages.properties or in the translation mappings in the form itself.
Boolean
Various widget styles can be used to input Boolean values:
style="checkbox" A checkbox that when checked creates a TRUE obs, and when unchecked does nothing style="checkbox" value="false" A checkbox that when checked creates a FALSE obs, and when unchecked does nothing style="no_yes" Radio buttons for no and yes. You may click on a selected radio button to unselect it. style="yes_no" Like above but reverse order style="no_yes_dropdown" Dropdown list with blank, no, and yes options. style="yes_no_dropdown" Like above but reverse order <!-- Localization --> <obs conceptId="5272" style="no_yes" noLabel="Non" yesLabel="Oui"/>
Text
By default, displays a normal text input box.
size="5" means a text field with the specified size style="textarea" means a textarea rows="10" number of rows in the textarea (implies style="textarea") cols="80" number of columns in the textarea (implies style="textarea") answers="comma,separated,legal,answers" answerLabels="Display,For,Legal,Answers" answerCodes=Allows you to reference labels by a messages.properties codes or a codes in the translation mappings defined in the form. style="location" provides a drop-down list of Locations answerLocationTags="TAG1, TAG2" limits the locations in the drop-down list to the locations tagged with TAG1 or TAG2 style="person" provides a drop-down list of persons. Used with role, it limits the list to a subset of persons who have an associated User account with the specified Role. maxlength="50" limits the number of characters that can be entered into the field to 50 (supports any valid integer) placeholder="Type something" shows placeholder text before the user types style="provider" provides a drop-down list of Providers. This list can be limited to only providers with certain provider roles (from providermanagement module), using "providerRoles" attribute, which supports a comma-delimited list of provider role uuids or ids.
Date
Renders a date picker widget. Note that dates are not allowed to be after the encounter date, unless attribute allowFutureDates="true". If the concept is of type datetime, then both date and time controls will be rendered. However you can override this with allowTime="false" if you want only a date control for a datetime concept. If you want to disallow future dates, but do want to allow future times on the same date, you can specify allowFutureDates="false" and allowFutureTimes="true".
Coded
Renders a drop-down with all possible coded answered. Set style="radio" to display a radio set of options in lieu of a drop-down. Set style = "autocomplete" to display a autocomplete widget. Note autocomplete has to work with either an answerClasses attribute, answerConceptId, or answerConceptSetIds attribute.
Examples: <obs conceptId="1234" answerConceptId="123" labelText="The question:" answerLabel="The answer"/> Renders as: The question: [ ]The answer If checked creates an obs with conceptId=1234 and valueCoded=123 <obs conceptId="1234"/> Renders as a dropdown of all possible answer specified for concept 1234 in the dictionary <obs conceptId="1234" answerConceptIds="123,7,912" answerLabels="Malaria,Tuberculosis,Diabetes"/> Renders as a dropdown of the specified answers with the specified labels. <obs conceptId="1234" answerConceptSetIds="345,789" style="autocomplete" /> Renders an autocomplete textbox which provides coded answers from another concept set. <obs conceptId="1296" answerClasses="Drug"/> Renders as a dropdown all Concepts with ConceptClass = "Drug", ordered by Concept Name <obs conceptId="1296" answerClasses="Drug" style="autocomplete"/> Renders as a autocomplete widget with ConceptClass = "Drug" <obs conceptId="1234" answerDrugs="true"/> Renders as an autocomplete widget that searches the Drug table, and will save the selected value in obs.value_drug <obs conceptId="1234" answerDrugs="true" displayTemplate="{{concept}} ({{doseStrength}} {{units}})"/> Renders an an autocomplete widget, with items displayed using a custom handlebars template. (Default is "{{name}}".)
You can also specify answerCode instead of answerLabel to reference an answer label by a code in messages.properties or in the translation mappings in the form itself.
Complex
Renders a upload widget, which allows uploading of a file. If the data handler of the concept is an ImageHandler, then only images are allowed for upload, which will be displayed in the form itself when viewing. Otherwise, BinaryDataHandler or BinaryStreamHandler can be used to support any file type.
<obs conceptId="1234" /> Renders as a "Choose File" button. After browsing to choose the tile, the name of the file chosen is beside it.
Note: The value of conceptId must be a complex obs with a handler, like "ImageHandler" For more info, see the Workflow section at the Complex Obs Support page.

Example Usage
<obsgroup groupingConceptId="1234"> <obs conceptId="1234" answerConceptId="123" answerLabel="Other"/> <obs conceptId="987" labelText="specify:"/> </obsgroup> You can wrap an obsgroup tag anywhere in the html, generally speaking, as long as it is still a well-formed xml document. This is okay: <table> <tr> <obsgroup groupingConceptId="1234"> <td><obs conceptId="5089" labelText="Weight:"/></td> <td><obs conceptId="5090" labelText="Height:"/></td> </obsgroup> </tr> </table> This will break: <obsgroup groupingConceptId="1234"> <table> <tr> <td><obs conceptId="5089" labelText="Weight:"/></td> <td><obs conceptId="5090" labelText="Height:"/></td> </obsgroup> </tr> </table>
<obsreference>
An extension of the standard Obs tag that allows for matching observations outside of the current encounter but collected during the same day as the encounter to be displayed within the form.
If an encounter datetime is present within the context when the form is rendered (which generally only occurs in VIEW or EDIT mode), this tag will search for all Obs with the same question concept for that patient collected during the current day. If multiple matching obs are found, it will take the most recent obs. This is the reference obs.
If a reference obs is found and there is no matching obs on the existing encounter, in view mode the value for this obs will be displayed where the obs from the encounter would normally be displayed. Additionally, in edit mode, if a reference obs is found and there is no matching obs on the existing encounter, the reference obs will be displayed view mode, and there will be no widget for entering data. If allowOverride is set to true, an "Override" button will be present, and clicking it will hide the reference obs and display the standard edit widget for the field.
Note this currently only supports Obs rendered with the following widget types: Numeric Field, Text Input, Date (not Time or Datetime), Dropdown, Radio Button, and Checkbox
All existing Obs attributes are supported, with the following additional attributes added.
- Since 3.9.0
Attributes
- allowOverride: whether or not to allow end users to override the value
- Default: false
- overrideLabel: specify a custom label for the "override" button
- Default: "Override"
- tooltipTemplate: a string to display as a tooltip for reference obs; supports templated substitutions of value, encounterType, and encounterDate
- Default: "({{encounterType}} on {{encounterDate}})"

<order>
The order tag supports recording orders within the context of the current encounter. The order tag is contextual - meaning that it does not operate in a vacuum within the current encounter, but rather it operates with knowledge of the patient's active orders as of the date of the encounter that is being entered. This allows the tag to support each of the different order actions that OpenMRS supports - NEW orders, REVISE orders, RENEW orders, and DISCONTINUE orders.
The result of this is that, when the order tag is rendered, it will display any active orders (for the configured orderables - more on this below) as of the encounter date recorded on the form. And if the encounter date on the form is changed, it will reset itself such that any active orders as of that new encounter date are displayed. This is necessary in order to ensure that REVISE, RENEW, and DISCONTINUE orders can be appropriately recorded in a given encounter, in addition to any NEW orders that might be required. See the section below titled Relation to encounter date for more information on this.
The order tag will render appropriate properties based on the "javaClassname" on the Order Type. The properties and configuration that are available will depend on the type of underlying order that this type represents.
Configurable attributes and nested elements of the order tag

<order> Attributes: orderType:
The simplest instantiation of the order tag is configured with a single "orderType" attribute. This is the best starting point for using the tag, as it will lay out all of the properties available to enter in a simple table structure, with one property per row, and can then form the basis for further customization. For any option-list properties, these will be configured with all (non-retired) options that are available within OpenMRS, if the underlying API defines a superset of allowed options. There is a lot of standard OpenMRS configuration needed to use orders - especially drug orders - mostly in the form of concepts, concept sets, and global properties, due to the extensive validation involved in the API. | <order orderType="131168f4-15f5-102d-96e4-000c29c2a5d7" /> | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
<orderTemplate> Although zero-configuration is good to get a sense of what is possible, often one will want to lay out one or more tags to support specific ordering use cases. This is done via a nested <orderTemplate> tag, which allows laying out the tag's html in the manner that best suits the purpose. Within the orderTemplate tag, specific order attribute input fields are specified via a nested <orderProperty> tag - more on those below. Generally the orderTemplate tag allows one to specific the html and css necessary in order to transform the default drug order html as needed. Two common use cases demonstrated to the right are to: a) Hide certain properties that will have fixed values or which are not supported b) Reconfigure the layout to fit a more efficient or user-friendly layout. Specific examples shown:
Overall CSS class reference:
| <style type="text/css"> .orderwidget-drug-section { padding: 10px; border: 1px dotted black; } .order-field { display: inline-block; padding: 0px; } .order-field.action { display: block; } .order-field.dateActivated { padding-right: 20px; } .order-field-label { display: inline-block; padding-right: 5px; vertical-align: middle; } .order-field-label:after { content: ""; white-space: pre; } .order-field-widget { display: inline-block; } </style> <order orderType="131168f4-15f5-102d-96e4-000c29c2a5d7"> <orderTemplate> <orderProperty name="concept"/> <orderProperty name="drug"/> <orderProperty name="action"/> <div style="padding:0px;"> <orderProperty name="dose" label="Dosing"/> <orderProperty name="doseUnits" label=" "/> <orderProperty name="frequency" label=" "/> <orderProperty name="route" label=" "/> </div> <div style="padding:0px;"> <orderProperty name="dateActivated" label="Starting"/> <orderProperty name="duration" label="for"/> <orderProperty name="durationUnits" label=" "/> </div> <div style="padding:0px;"> <orderProperty name="quantity" label="Quantity"/> <orderProperty name="quantityUnits" label=" "/> <orderProperty name="numRefills" label="Refills"/> </div> <div style="display:none;"> <orderProperty name="urgency" value="ROUTINE"/> <orderProperty name="dosingType" value="org.openmrs.SimpleDosingInstructions"/> <orderProperty name="careSetting" value="OUTPATIENT"/> </div> </orderTemplate> </order> | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
<orderProperty> The orderProperty tag can be nested within an orderTemplate tag in order to control the positioning and configuration of the order field that needs to be entered within the tag. Allowed attributes: label:
value:
style:
Text attributes: Those properties listed as Type = "text" support additional attributes as follows:
Option attributes: Those properties listed as Type = "option" support additional attributes as follows:
<option> Any orderProperty of type = "option", "concept-option", or "drug-option" to the right can be configured with one or more "<option>" child tags. This has the effect of limiting this configured widget to only these configured options. Option tags have the following attributes:
<optionGroup> Any orderProperty of type="concept-option" to the right can be configured with one or more "optionGroup" child tags. These allow for concept-based properties to be configured from either a set (in which case all set members are added as options) or from a concept question (in which case all answers are added as options). One or more option groups can be configured on a property. These can also be configured to display as optiongroup elements within the displayed select list. By default, these will render in the order in which they are defined in the set or question. The order can be changed to alphabetical if desired. Option group tags can have the following attributes:

Order Actions Supported
Description | Entering / viewing the order |
---|---|
Placing a new OrderOne is able to place a new Order within the encounter any of the configured orderables (concepts / drugs). It is possible to configure what is available to be ordered. For example:
| |
Modifying existing ordersIf a patient has active orders for concepts associated with the configured tag on the form, then upon editing the form, these orders will appear in the "Active Order" section with actions that allow them to be revised, renewed, or discontinued. | |
Revising an existing order Once an order has been entered, if any changes need to be made to this, this is done through a REVISE order. This applies both for editing an order within the same encounter that it was created within, or for making changes to it. When REVISE is selected, all of the order properties are defaulted to their current values, to facilitate making changes. When revising an order within the same encounter in which it was previously created, the prior order is voided, and the revision is recorded as a NEW order. To the right, we see ourselves revising the above order on September 1, 2020. | |
Renewing an existing order Once an order has been entered, a subsequent encounter that occurs while this order is active has the option available to RENEW the order. Renew is not available when you are editing an order within the encounter in which it was previously created. Renew differs from REVISE in that none of the fields related to dosing are editable. One can only modify the duration, quantity and refills as appropriate. | |
Discontinuing an existing order For any active order on a given encounter date, one can also choose the option of discontinuing that order. If a discontinuation order is issued in the same encounter in which the order was originally placed, this will not create a discontinue order in the system, but will rather VOID the previously created order. |
Relation to encounter date
As htmlformentry is primarily a tool for recording encounter-based data, all ordering is done as of the encounterDate. All orders are created with a dateActivated equal to the encounterDate, and all available actions relate to the existing orders (if any) that are active on the encounter date. This is why you will see that the "Start Date" of the order is view-only and will always match the encounter date. For this reason, any changes to the encounter date on a given form have an impact on order data. Specifically, when an encounter date is changed, all existing drug order tags must be recreated from scratch in order to ensure that they account for the actions that are possible on any existing orders that might be present on that date. For the end user, this may result in clearing out previously entered form fields that will need to be re-entered. To inform the user of this, a pop-up alert has been added to the system when such a situation is found, demonstrated in the image to the right. |
<page>
Tag used to split a form into multiple pages. If you decide to use it, all other tags have to be inside it with the exception of <style><script> which can either be inside or outside.
Attributes
- title: Specifies the page title.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <page title="Page1"/>
- Default: Tab{Number}
Example Usage
<htmlform> <style></style> <script></script> <page title="pageOne"> Content shown on page one goes here</page> <page title="pageTwo">Content shown on page one goes here</page> <page title="pagethree">Content shown on page one goes here</page> </htmlform>
<patient>
The patient tag can be used to create a new patient or edit an existing patient within an HTML Form. The tag allows to reference age/birthdate, gender, name, address, identifier.
(Note that there is no way in the current UI to access a form without already being in the context of specific patient, so, in the current UI you can only edit, not create, a patient using this tag. In custom code, if you intend to load a form without specifying a patientId or personId as a parameter, make sure set mode=enter when calling the html form entry controller.)
- since: 1.7.2
Attributes
- field:
- Example: <patient field="name" />
- Value: see table
- Default:
Attribute field | Additional attribute | Is mandatory while enter/create | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|

identifier | Yes | Display identifier input text box and identifier types in drop down combo box | <patient field="identifier" /> | |
identifier | identifierTypeId | Yes | If you pass identifierTypeId attribute along with Identifier tag, only identifier input text box will display | <patient field="identifier" identifierTypeId="xxx"/> |
identifierLocation | Yes | Display the available locations in drop down combo box (note that there is an open bug concerning this attribute...see HTML-414 | <patient field="identifierLocation" /> | |
address | No | Display the address fields (add1, add2, zipcode, etc) based on the global variable layout value | <patient field=”address” /> |
- required: (currently only applies to patient identifier fields)
- Example: <patient field="identifier" identifierType="2" required="false" />
- Default: true
Example Usage
<patient field="name"/> <!-- displays the name fields --> <patient field="identifier" identifierTypeId="2"/> <!-- displays identifier field for identifier type 2 - input is validated accordingly -->
<postSubmissionAction>
Since 2.4
Lets run server-side Java code as part of a form's submission. This action happens after standard form processing (e.g. obs are created) but it happens in the same transaction, so if this processing throws an error, the entire form submission is invalidated.
Attributes
- class
- required
- value: the fully-qualified classname of a Java class that implements the interface org.openmrs.module.htmlformentry.CustomFormSubmissionAction
- example:
<postSubmissionAction class="org.openmrs.module.xyz.DecideWhereToRedirect"/>
<redirectOnSave>
(Since 2.4)
Lets a form indicate what URL to go to after it is submitted, overriding the default behavior of the web framework.
Attributes
- url: url template to redirect to
- optional, but you must specify exactly one of url and script
- value: an url template, that will support substitution of {{patient.id}} and {{encounter.id}}
- Note that since the entire HTML form is XML, you may need to replace the & signs in the URL with &
example:
<redirectOnSave url="/modules/custom/displayForPrinting.form?patientId={{patient.id}}&encounterId={{encounter.id}}"/> <redirectOnSave url="/module/reporting/reports/renderReport.form?reportDefinition=76cfc87a-9e88-4d39-acc7-ed68d4beb1f7&patient_wanted={{patient.id}}&renderingMode=org.openmrs.module.reporting.report.renderer.TextTemplateRenderer!d45c199d-c004-4ee4-aa8d-6a8061d7d9a5"/>
- script: lets you dynamically compute an url template to redirect to
- optional, but you must specify exactly one of url and script
- value: the name of a ScriptEngine configured on your JVM. (Only "groovy" is officially tested, but others should work.)
- If you specify a script attribute, then the content of the redirectOnSave tag must be the script itself.
- Note that since the entire HTML form is XML, you will need to escape entities like &, <, and >.
example:
<redirectOnSave script="groovy"> import org.openmrs.api.context.Context; def customView = Context.getAdministrationService().getGlobalProperty("custom.view"); return "custom.form?view=" + customView + "&patientId={{patient.id}}"; </redirectOnSave>
<relationship>
(Since 1.7.4.)
Used to add relationships for a patient. The tag allows you to replace existing relationships or add new relationships, it does not currently support editing and deleting existing relationships.
Attributes
- type: this is the relationship_type_id (or UUID) for the relationship that should be created for the selected person.
- REQUIRED
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" />
- <relationship type="0cbe2ed3-cd5f-4f46-9459-26127c9265ab" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" />
- Value: Any valid relationship type ID or UUID for a relationship type
- Default: NONE
- whoAmI:this is the side of the relationship the patient the form is being entered on is. For example in a Parent to Child relationship, if the form is being filled out for the child then the whoAmI value should be set to "B" whereas if the form is being filled out for the parent then the whoAmI value should be set to "A"
- REQUIRED
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="B" changeExistingRelationship="true" />
- Value: "A" or "B"
- Default: NONE
- changeExistingRelationship: this attribute determines if new relationships should be added in addition to existing relationships or should replace the existing relationships of that type. So if this value is set to true, any existing relationships of that type will be replaced. If the attribute is set to false then a new relationship will be added in addition to any existing relationships.
- REQUIRED
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="false" />
- Value: "true" or "false"
- Default: NONE
- required: this is used for validation, and if true the form will not be able to be submitted without the required relationships existing for the patient. The code checks to see if the patient already has relationships existing, so validation will not fail if the required relationship types were set up prior to entering the form (in this situation the data entry clerk can edit or add new relationships or just ignore the question). The relationship widget displays to the user all existing relationships (for the types we care about in the tag), so the data entry clerk should be able to decide if entry on this question is needed.
- OPTIONAL
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" required="true" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" required="false" />
- Value: "true" or "false"
- Default: false
- requireAttributes: this attribute restricts the search results based on person_attributes. This attribute takes in a comma separated list of attributes. Each attribute can be entered as a name value pair (separated by a ',' for example Health Center:Rwinkwavu Health Center. Alternatively the attribute value can be entered in the format of ${currentPatientAttribute("Health Center")}, in this case the relationship tag will retrieve the value of Health Center attribute for the patient of the form and use this value as the valueto match. The value for the attribute is optional, and if left out then the search will return any people that possess the specified person_attribute. If multiple attributes are specified, only persons that match allof the specified attributes are displayed.
- OPTIONAL
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" requireAttributes="Health Center:Rwinkwavu Health Center" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" requireAttributes="Health Center:${currentPatientAttribute("Health Center")}" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" requireAttributes="Health Center" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" requireAttributes="Health Center:Florida,Citizenship:USA" />
- Value: any valid person attribute type and optionally the value the person attribute should have.
- Default: NONE
- programIds: this attribute allows the search results to be filtered based on program enrollment. So this takes in a comma separated list of the program ids (or UUIDs). This can be used in conjunction with the personAttributes if necessary. If multiple programs are specified, only patients in allof the specified programs are displayed.
- OPTIONAL
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" programIds="1" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" programIds="1,5" />
- <relationship type="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" programIds="0cbe2ed3-cd5f-4f46-9459-26127c9265ab" />
- Value: Any valid program ID, program UUID or underlying concept name
- Default: NONE
- display: This attribute determines which widget is displayed to the user to pick the person for the relationship. A value of “search” will present the user with a popup search box, allow them to enter a search term then select from the returned list. All searches in the tag search are based on person not patient, however you can search on patient identifiers and it will work. A value of “dropDown” presents the people in a simple drop down. If the drop down list is used when a large number of people are returned then this slows down the loading of the form, so drop down box option can only be used in conjunction with the requireAttributes and/or programId fields.
- OPTIONAL
- Examples
- <relationship type="1" ="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" display="search" />
- <relationship type="1" ="1" whoAmI="A" changeExistingRelationship="true" display="dropDown" />
- Value: "search" or "dropDown"
- Default: search
Example Usage
<relationship type="21" whoAmI="A" required="true" changeExistingRelationship="false" requireAttributes="HealthCenter:${currentPatientAttribute("Health Center")" programIds="3"display="search" labelText=”label” />
<render>
See <repeat>
<repeat>
Repeatedly renders code that is contained within template tags. Facilitates future code maintenance. Repeats can be nested inside of other tags. A repeat can contain only 2 top level tags: template and render.
Related Tags
<template>
- The code contained in the <template> tags is repeated for each <render> tag.
<render>
- Used within a repeat tag to render code. Within the render tag you can also specify attributes that can be used as keys during substitution.
Example Usage
<repeat> <template> <obsgroup groupingConceptId="1295"> <tr> <td><obs conceptId="1297" answerConceptId="{concept}" answerLabel="{effect}" labelText=""/></td> <td><obs conceptId="3063"/></td> <td><obs conceptId="1300"/></td> <td><obs conceptId="1643"/></td> </tr> </obsgroup> </template> <render concept="6355" effect="Nausées/vomissements"/> <render concept="16" effect="Diarrhée"/> <render concept="80" effect="Arthralgie"/> <render concept="877" effect="Etourdissements et/ou vertiges"/> </repeat>

A less-verbose version of the <repeat> tag.
Attributes
- with: Defines all the item
- REQUIRED
- Value: All the items that should be rendered with tag element, defined within single quotes. Supports 1 to n sets, and 1 to n items in each set.
- Example:<repeat with="['664','No Complaints'],['832','Weight Loss']">
Example Usage
<repeat with="['664','No Complaints'],['832','Weight Loss'],['777','Nausea']"> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="{0}" answerLabel="{1}" style="checkbox" /><br/> </repeat> would render as: <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="644" answerLabel="No Complaints" style="checkbox" /><br/> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="832" answerLabel="Weight Loss" style="checkbox" /><br/> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="777" answerLabel="Nausea" style="checkbox" /><br/>
Note
In order to work, the opening tag must end with exactly the following:
]">
That is, close-square-bracket followed by double-quote followed by greater-than. No space is allowed.
<restrictByRole>
A user with a particular role can be restricted from either viewing a certain HTML form (or a section in the form) by using the <restrictByRole> tag.
Attributes
- include: Defines all the user roles for whom the tag content should be included
- REQUIRED (Either include or exclude field)
- Value: A comma seperated list of user roles
- Example:<restrictByRole include="System Developer,Provider"/>
- Default: None
- Since: 1.11
- exclude: Defines all the user roles for whom the tag content should be excluded
- REQUIRED (Either include or exclude field)
- Value: A comma seperated list of user roles
- Example:<restrictByRole exclude="Data Manager"/>
- Default: None
- Since: 1.11
<section>
The <section> tag lets you break your form, and corresponding form schema, into sections. Note that we wrote this tag before HTML 5 introduced a real-HTML section tag, so the default behavior of this tag outputs a div.
Attributes
- headerCode: Allows you specify the header label using a code that references message.properties or the translation mappings in the form itself.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: ???
- Value: ????
- Default: None.
- headerLabel: The label to use in the section header.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <section headerLabel="1. Information démographique">
- Value: Any quoted string
- Default: None.
- headerStyle: Allows you to override the default style for the section header. (Treated as a CSS class.)
- OPTIONAL
- Value: Valid CSS class names
- Default: sectionHeader
- sectionStyle: Allows you to override the default style for the section. (Treated as a CSS class.)
- OPTIONAL
- Value: Valid CSS class names
- Default: section
- sectionTag: Lets you specify what tag should be used for the section
- OPTIONAL
- Value: Valid HTML tag name
- Default: div
- Since: 2.0.3
- headerTag: Lets you specify what tag should be used for the section header
- OPTIONAL
- Value: Valid HTML tag name
- Default: span
- Since: 2.0.3
Example Usage
If you want to use HTML 5 section tags, do something like this:
<section headerLabel="Encounter details" sectionTag="section" headerTag="h1"> Your content </section> <!-- This would be the output --> <section class="section"> <h1 class="sectionHeader">Encounter details</h1> Your content </section>
<standardRegimen>
This tag lets you create/edit/discontinue standard regimens, which are managed in the xml file in the global property 'dashboard.regimen.standardRegimens'. In the htmlform, by just selecting a standard regimen and a start date, all the DrugOrders in the regimen will be created upon form submission. For EDIT/VIEW mode, htmlformentry will compare all DrugOrders in an Encounter and will choose the 'best matching' standard regimen if there are any. If any of the DrugOrders in an existing standard regimen have been modified outside of the tag, the standard regimen matching may fail (for example if one of the drugs in a regimen has a modified start or discontinue date than the other DrugOrders, the tag will NOT assume that these DrugOrders are part of the same standard regimen). In other words, all DrugOrders in a standard regimen are never really expected to be modifed outside of the htmlformentry context.
WARNING -- using this tag in a one-form per encounter workflow may cause duplicate drugOrders to be created. See the WARNING for DrugOrder. The same idea applies here too.
- since: 1.9.0
- No longer supported in htmlformentry version 4.0.0+ due to removal in OpenMRS 2.x platform

- Value: Comma separated list of regimenCodes from the standard regimen xml in the global property 'dashboard.regimen.standardRegimens'
- Default: None
- discontinuedReasonConceptId: This creates a drop-down of coded reasons for discontinuing a regimen. This covers the valueCoded reason for discontinuing a regimen, and I'm currently waiting on a bug fix to 1.6+ to be able to support a text field for 'other' for discontinueReasonText.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <standardRegimenregimenCodes="standardTri30,standardTri40" discontinuedReasonConceptId="1252"/>
- Value: a valid conceptId or uuid for the concept representing the reason for discontinuing. This concept must have conceptAnswers.
- Default: none
- discontinueReasonAnswers: Allows you to explicitly set the possible list of discontinue reason answers. If not used, all ConceptAnswers for discontinueReasonConceptId will be used.
- OPTIONAL
- Example: <standardRegimen regimenCodes="standardTri30,standardTri40" discontinuedReasonConceptId="1252" discontinueReasonAnswers="102,105"/>
