Introducing Dashboard Context Manager: Tailoring Patient Views to Your Clinical Workflow

Hi Jerry-
I was a bit sluggish getting off the marks re: setting up the module for testing but I believe I have it now.
I noticed that I had not looked through the whole md.pdf when I said it had everything needed so I would just publish it to the wiki. I’m seeing now that particularly re: the admin features it needs a bit of fleshing out.
So I think what I’ll do is generate my own illustrated and expanded wiki doc on the manager and link to your User Guide as reference material. Does that sound ok to you? Trying to avoid awkward authorship attributions, and like that.

At this point I believe I have a firm grip on the DCMgr except for 2 things.

  1. Ex/importing with json files: what is getting put in the json files and how is it getting there?
  2. That user type list: is it eventually going to correspond to OpenEMR’s user type list as found in the user profiles? Could also include any custom user types the practice may create. Seems it’d be reasonable to link those together.
    Other than that I haven’t found any bugs and the UI design is clear and intuitive. Bloody good work!
    Thanks again for this feature, it’s going to make a lot of people happy!

First, thanks for getting this out there. It is my first step to standardizing work flows and hope to start attaching other context related activities to manager. Next will be a task manager.

Do whatever you want with documentation. I’ll be fine.

  1. Imports/Exports any new contexts created. Like a backup or to move.

  2. Next version we’ll address how we handle admin user ability to modify after we get some feedback and asks from field.

23

BTW If you have a link regardless document state I can add to our feature list. we’re trying for release next day or two.

sure, here’s where I’ll put it :slight_smile:

OpenEMR 7 The Dashboard Context Manager - OpenEMR Project Wiki

Hope to have it done in the next couple days.

This is amazing! We have many different provider and staff roles (scheduler, CPAP Setup, NIV follow-up, etc.) so the ability to customize and show only relevant data to each role is awesome! Looking forward to the release so I can play with it!

Thank you to everyone for your hard work on this!

Just want to say thanks for your work on this.

I am implementing openemr for my private behavioral health practice, and this will help to remove a lot of extraneous “clutter” from our perspective.

Very helpful for readability and streamlining work flow!

Wokay, got the user docs up in the wiki; see the link a couple posts ago.

I will do my best to keep it updated when the next ver comes out.

Let me know if you see any errors!

Hi Harley, Wiki looks great, thanks.

The link is included on our release page when we release soon.

Oops, I see a few formatting errors, will fix them soon.

Thank you. What version of OpenEMR will this be released with?

Hi @hawleyj

Jerry has said it’ll come out for the first time with the 7.0.4 version (which just happens to have been released today), but will be available in all v7.x versions. Not sure when it’ll show up in pre-7.0.4 versions though.

I am using this context manager, it looks awesome.
I wonder if I can hide some contexts that I do not need. Are they associated to any list?

Thanks!

Hi @Marco_Meza Those are hard coded defaults. The best you can do is lock user to a singular context.
There is still much more capabilities I had planned for this feature but have stop development for lack of interest in expanding to include workflows etc.

@Marco_Meza

Don’t know if you’ve seen the wiki writeup of the feature:

Some of what’s there includes a few ways of altering which contexts a user can use. Maybe you’ll see something helpful.

Thanks, amazing job with this custom context manager.

I am testing this module on OpenEMR 8.0.0 patch 3, I have created a custom context, but when I try to set this custom context to an user it doesn´t work, in developer tools it shows admin_ajax.php “{“success”:false,“error”:“User ID and context key are required”}“
Also in documentation I found that there are 2 global variables that can be set as 1 or 0, I wish to be able to set them from admin | config, because currently I have to do it directly at database level.

Thanks!

I was able to fix it, I had to delete my custom context and create it again. Then edit AdminController.php, just this block:

private function createContext(): void
{
$data = [
‘context_name’ => $_POST[‘context_name’] ?? ‘’,
‘context_key’ => !empty($_POST[‘context_key’]) ? trim($_POST[‘context_key’]) : null,
‘description’ => $_POST[‘description’] ?? ‘’,
//…

and also I edited DashboardContextAdminService.php

public function assignContextToUser(int $userId, string $contextKey, int $assignedBy, bool $isLocked = false, ?int $contextId = null): bool {
// — fix - get context_id for customized contexts –
if ($contextId === null && str_starts_with($contextKey, ‘custom_’)) { $ctx = QueryUtils::querySingleRow( “SELECT id FROM {$this->contextTable} WHERE context_key = ?”, [$contextKey] ); if ($ctx) { $contextId = (int)$ctx[‘id’]; } }
// end of fix…
$currentContext = QueryUtils::querySingleRow( “SELECT active_context FROM {$this->userContextTable} WHERE user_id = ?”, [$userId] );

Now I can set a custom created context to my users.

Hi @Marco_Meza

Good job on the report, maybe the devs can see if it’s a bug or a workflow issue.
