Hello the community, i am new. Please i need your help on how to customize the registration page.
Thank you.
Hello @Jessica - welcome to the OpenEMR community! May all your questions be answered in a useful fashion 
And so saying, I gotta ask: which display do you mean when you say the āregistration pageā? (Screenshots come in really handy here)
The patient recordās primary information display is the Dashboard, and the Demographics section contains most of the patient information that is collected. However, the portal has a set of actual āPatient self-registrationā screens, and thereās another screen which is designed for the initial population of the patient record.
They can all be modified and customized to varying degrees, involving different levels of difficulty. Also, what sort of customizations do you have in mind?
Looking forward to reading more from you.

@htuck i would like to make the registration page simple, remove some attributes such as āSexual Orientationā, āLicense IDāā¦
Also remove some section āemployerā, āSatsā
Thank you
From now
Hi Jessica. You can configure what shows up on these registration pages, i.e. the demographics, by using the menu admin/forms/layouts. Then chose core/demographics.
this brings up an editing screen where one can add or delete fields. tick the box to the left of the field youād like to delete, then at the top of the screen click the ādeleteā button
scroll down the page to find the different sections
all the best,ruth
Thank you @ruth for your help, i manage to remove some attributes unfortunately i cannot remove ābilling Noteā, āPrevious Nameā also the section āinsuranceā i donāt see in āThe demographic Sectionā to remove it.
oh thatās interesting, and well done for removing some fields.
what happens if you try to delete ābilling noteā and āprevious nameā? - i think one can also move items to a different section, so you might be able to hide them out of the way.
it might be worth asking specifically about modifying the insurance page in the forum, or Harley may be able to help, heās pretty knowledgeable
all the best
iāve just found how to hide the insurance form all together - in the menu go to admin/config - then scroll down the left hand side to insurance. on that page tick āsimplified demographicsā, then āsaveā (at the foot of the page), that seemed to get rid of it for the new patient set of forms

Thank you, it works for the insurance unfortunately i cannot remove a lot of attributes. Please do we have an OpenEMR documentation which can help.
iāll look - but meanwhile can you tell me what happens when you try to remove an attribute that wonāt go, maybe plus a screen shot.
also, are there any single attributes that you can remove
hi jessica,
i also experienced not being able to delete a field, and couldnāt see why that failed. I was able to move fields to other sections though. I also failed to find any user documentation on the subject. Iām sorry iāve not been able to be of more help. Iām afraid i have some other things to do, and will be away for about 10 days from wednesday, so wonāt be able to do any more hunting around for a bit.
there are certain fields in demographics layout that cannot be removed or deleted.
for those fields itās best to simply hide them

āHide themā being to mark them in the UOR dropdown as being āUnusedā, like so:
And I would not have advised actually deleting all those items, but rather marking them āUnusedā, because now they are gone for good. You cannot use any of the fields that were in any of those tabs, and if you decide you want to you will have to re-install OpenEMR again from scratch.

Thanks for clarifying my super lazy answer Harley!

you can run an sql statement to update the table and restore the deleted fields which circumvents having to re-install

@htuck Thank you , it works. yes normally i could only hide them maybe later on i can use them .
Hi Jessica,
there is a ādeleteā button for each of
these groups, have you tried to use that? - i donāt really want to test it out on my system as i donāt want to delete the groups and then have to re-instate them
Thatās why i asked if it is possible to hide them instead of ādeleteā
oh, i see. the best i could see was to move the group down to the bottom of the list, where it might be out of the way a little?
