Modify Field in patients form

Management and Administration
1

Hi, i am not an US practitioner. So i didn’t see the patient form fit my need. Some field like S.S., country, state, are obsolete for me. But in turn, i would like adding some field that crucial in my country’s, but not available in the default EMR form.
How can i change or add field? Thank you

@BabyColor,

To add a new fields in the patient form follow the below steps,

-> Go to Administration-> Layouts.
-> Select Demographics option from the Edit Layout drop down.
-> Now its displays all the fields of patient form by section. Each section contains buttons like Add Field. By Using this you can add a new fields.

Let us know, If you have any clarifications.

Thanks,

Do backup your installation prior to modifications.
Disable fields you may do not need to avoid difficulties in the future.
Add fields and groups as needed.
Enjoy.

Every time I save some changes in Admin > Forms > Layout > Demographics
first I get a whole bunch of warning errors like

Warning: Undefined array key “validation” in
\openemr\interface\super\edit_layout.php on line 470

Warning: Undefined array key “action” in
\openemr\interface\super\edit_layout.php on line 425

etc…

Then the browser tab freezes for 20 seconds or so.

Then all the changes I had previously made are gone and I have to repeat the process…only to see the same warnings, browser freezing and changes not saving.

I’m using **OpenEMR 7.0.2

Thanks for any suggestions.
