Can someone tell me how to change the default setting of ‘Show Active’ to 'Show All?"
Thank you

This again is not a major issue but would be helpful in my case. I hate to put up with it, if someone knows an easy fix.
Thanks again.

Can you be a bit more specific? In messages there are many options to show all or active……. add new? How hard is it to hit Show all, indeed a minor issue. If this is the spot, there might be a developer who can guide you through php files to go to the exact file and make a change.

There is also a spot called Off.Notes……
nursejeff wrote on Wednesday, October 31, 2012:
When you edit the patient Notes directly under the patient name, there are 3 choices: Show all - SHOW ACTIVE -show inactive. Show active is the default.
I am asking because, often, previous notes have already addressed a certain situation and if you see them you don’t start a new note.
No it is not hard to click on show all. Being a disciplined person myself, I remember to do this most times, but employees never seem to think like I do and new notes make more work for everyone.
I am also asking because, there are much more knowledgeable people about this program on this forum than myself. Often there is a very easy way to change things, such as changing a zero to a one somewhere in the database.
I am also trying to share my experience of using this program daily with the talented people who are programming it. Maybe I can help and contribute by sharing what works and what is a possible hindrance to every day practice.

Hi,
This is actually done when the script is called. Note the default link called for that page is:
interface/main/messages/messages.php?form_active=1
If following is used, then will default to show All:
interface/main/messages/messages.php
Link can be modified at lines 102 and 123 of the interface/main/main_screen.php script.

Jeff,
Tnx for the explanation. May be I am some kind of nerdish person and click on of and on whenever there is an option and did not encounter your small little bit of extra info sometimes needed as default.
Unless there is a terrible long list of notes, it seems more appropriate to put the choice on SEE ALL as default in next production version of OpenEMR. Indeed it needs a programmer to make the choice possible as a global option. Far beyond my scope, but sometimes there is an developer that comes with the solution. So far, I can not remember any setting to make this happen in OpenEMR as is for 4.1.1.1
Keep on sending contributions.

Hi Brady,
I made the changes as you suggested: First I changed ?form_active=1 to ?form_active=all, but nothing changed then I removed the ?form_active=1 completely after rereading your instructions but still it did not change the setting.
Can you think of anything else that I am missing.
Thank you.

Hi Jeff,
Did you remove it at both places in the interface/main/main_screen.php script?
Just as an example of what it should look like, after opening openemr, place the following in your web browser address(paste it in so that the ‘interface’ part overlaps the ‘interface’ that is already there):
interface/main/messages/messages.php?form_active=1
and then try:
interface/main/messages/messages.php

Oh,
Also need to change these links (remove the ?form_active=1 in the following scripts:
interface/main/main.php (one place)
interface/main/left_nav.php (two places)

Hi Brady,
I made all the changes and sure enough, it came up “show all” as default within the Message and Reminder Center.
I just discovered to my dismay that I haven’t made myself clear as to what I wanted and I apologize. blankev alluded - "There is also a spot called Off.Notes…… "
I am asking for the Notes within the individual patient’s chart to “show all” when opened.
When I click on edit Notes within a patient’s chart, I am wishing it to default to “show all”
Forgive me and thank you again.
