I’ve noticed that now when you log in & the calendar displays in the top frame, below the facility & user selction dialogs to the left, it’s now doing a repeated display of all facilities in a vertical list below the user selection list. Nothing that you can interact with, just a static displayed list of all the facilities spammed out next to the calendar.
For one client who has almost 30 facilities where they treat patients, it’s become somewhat annoying, & the use of screen space by the list messes up the OpenEMR GUI sometimes, especially on tablet displays.
I don’t remember seeing this happen in version 4.0, & I’ve checked 3 different systems on version 4.1(3), same behavior everywhere. Anybody else observed this after an upgrade to 4.1?
I’ll try to make a redacted screen shot & post it somewhere to show what it looks like.
In the | Administration | Globals options tab frame (Features) there is a choice to “Restrict Users to Facilities.” If this is selected, then only one facility appears next to the calendar. Before I found this, all our facilities (hospitals, etc.) appeared in a list and it looked looked pretty weird, if I recall - large font and placement on the screen was odd. But selecting the restrict users to facilities restored appearances.
After further testing, it does look like this is something related to the ‘Outlook’, calendar appearance setting.
Unfortunately, that’s the view that most of our doctors seem to prefer. Even more unfortunately, since they move between different facilities to see patients, I’m unable to restrict them to a certain facility, & their staff needs to be able to see appointments from all facilities. Will have to start looking at the differences in code between the Outlook & Fancy view options & see if it’s a fixable bug or a deeper issue that can’t be resolved.
I think the “quickest” way to fix it is to make changes to your interface/themes/ajax_calendar.css
That list of facilities is the color code so you can identify which facility an appointment is assigned to. It is contained in the div with id #facilityColor.
I suggest that you try a max-height attribute
You could also hide it completely if you wanted with a display attribute.
4.0 doesn’t have the facility legend, so there wasn’t anything to “overflow.”
Just iPads/Safari at the site in question here. But the same thing happens in Firefox on all operating systems. Thanks for the hints on the ajax_calendar.css code, I will start looking in there.
I have run into a couple of cases where the calendar view is broken, typically after I have patched, or updated openemr. Here are a couple of things that seem to fix it most often:
1) Delete the contents of the following directories on the openemr server:
I don’t think this is really a bug, so much as an awkward display option in the Outlook calendar. It doesn’t become so much of a problem except for practices where they see patients at a couple of dozen different facilities. When I have time I’m going to look into reducing the font size or maybe turning it into a drop-down list so it isn’t so blatant & intrusive for practices with lots of facilities.
