How we can create Admin UI in openemr as below :
To modify the OpenEMR UI (User Interface), you can follow these general steps depending on what part of the UI you want to customize — whether it’s colors, layout, forms, menus, or entirely new modules.
1. Customize Themes (CSS)
You can modify the visual appearance (colors, fonts, layout) through the themes.
Files to Edit:
interface/themes/ – contains themes like style_cobalt.css, style_light.css, etc.
Modify or duplicate a file like:
interface/themes/style_cobalt.css
Example: Change background color
body {
background-color: #1e1e2f; /* Dark blue background */
color: #ffffff;
}
2. Modify Menus / Navigation
Edit the menu_template.php file if you’re using the default layout engine.
File:
interface/main/tabs/menu_template.php
You can change or add menu items using:
3. Edit Forms / Layout-Based Forms (LBF)
To modify custom intake forms and UI layouts:
Navigate in OpenEMR to:
Admin → Forms → Layouts
Or modify in the DB:
SELECT * FROM layout_options;
You can change:
Field labels
Input types (text, date, radio)
Conditional display rules (“Hide this field if…”)
4. Modify Page Content or Add New Pages
You can modify specific modules like:
interface/patient_file/summary/demographics.php
interface/forms/ (for clinical forms)
To add a new page:
Create interface/forms/custom_form/new.php
Add HTML + PHP logic to it.
Register the form in the OpenEMR GUI under Admin → Forms.
5. Advanced: Modify Angular Frontend (OEMR v6+)
Some parts of OpenEMR now use Angular, especially Patient Portal and API interfaces.
Angular code: interface/weno/ and newer modules
React-based components: (some newer interfaces)
If you’re customizing the Patient Portal UI:
portal/ (for legacy)
react-portals/ (for new versions using React)
Pro Tip: Always Backup
Before editing:
cp -r openemr/ openemr_backup/
Useful Dev Tools
Use Chrome DevTools (F12) to inspect UI elements and find relevant CSS/HTML
Use VSCode for editing .php, .css, .js files
Let me know what specifically you want to change — like:
Color theme?
Intake form layout?
Patient summary page?
Menu structure?
