Skills Needed
Decent Java coding skills
Basic Javascript and SQL skills
A keen interest in developing good UIs
Objectives
Add User Account Manager tool see https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/RA-61
Manage Locations (including tagging those location, adding and editing location attributes)
Add advanced settings management tool(s), add custom pages for managing specific Settings (formerly Global Properties from platform 1.8 downwards) (e.g. all the security.* GPs together nicely in a Security Settings page)
Therefore, this project would involve:
User management app
Location management app
Advanced Settings
Records management app (extra credit)
Extra Credit
Add a new page that lets you see all data associated with a patient/visit/encounter record (including voided data) in some ugly table format, mainly for an administrator to be able to unvoid data.
Design
Hierarchy of various tools and apps in Administration module
Administration Tools will be built on UI Framework, which form the base of reference application. The module will have standard module dependency on “uiframework” module. The UI Framework is built on Spring MVC and implements Groovy templates for views. So, the views will be provided by .gsp files. Existing fragments of UI 2.0 will be used and new fragments will be created wherever required.
