Help with CAMOS please

We are using CAMOS to set up our office note.  My nurse will use a CAMOS template during her triage with the patient.

I will then “edit” the selected CAMOS template to document my findings and plan.

When I select “edit” the box that appears is very this and hard to work in.

Is there a setting, or where in the code can I go in and adjust the size of the “edit” window?

Thank you again.

Sorry, I meant to say “thin” not “this”.    When I select “edit” the box that appears is very thin and hard to work in.

Hi,

See first several lines in interface/forms/CAMOS/view.php file:
$textarea_rows = 20;
$textarea_cols = 40;

Modifying these will change the settings of the text area size.

Since your optimizing this in actual use, can you let us know what settings work best for you. I’ll then put these settings into the main codebase, so other users will benefit.

thanks,

Thank you so much Brady.

I change the settings to rows=30 and cols=105.

This is perfect for my regular screen desktop and wide screen laptop.

Now I can work easily to edit the note in CAMOS.

Thanks again,

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for testing this out.

Tested out the settings, and modified parameters in the main codebase, but was a bit less aggressive to avoid having the scrollbars show up when using OpenEMR in standard split frame mode:
rows=22
cols=90

Since this definitely improves the functionality, plan to include in the next 4.1 patch also.

thanks,
