Customizing the patient finder page

Has anyone customized the patient finder page? I tried to update the emr/main/finder/ pages but it is not working.

@tjbarr,
One of the customisation like addition or removal of column can be performed using Administration->Lists->Patient List Columns option.

Thanks. That did change the demographics. I had to go into the php pages to change the patient finder code.

@tjbarr,
Have you tried modifying the below files - interface/main/finder/dynamic_finder.php, interface/main/finder/dynamic_finder_ajax.php

Don’t know if this relates but a new doc was just posted to wiki:

good luck!
