I’m a new user to OpenEMR, but jumping in with both feet and enjoying myself in the process. As an ophthalmologist, I’m using fsgl’s LBV forms as a starting point.
I’m even more averse to typing than she is, so I’m making heavy use of listboxes. I’ve determined that the horizontal screen space devoted to a LBV listbox is determined dynamically by the length of the longest string contained in the listbox.
For many of the items I would used in my forms, the string value delivered by the listbox is significantly shorter than the string “Unassigned”, so the list box takes up more screen space than it might otherwise require. There are places where I could use 7 or 8 fields on a line to good effect.
Is there a single place or variable that I could change to make “Unassigned” in a LBV list box show up as “U/A”?
The search for Unassigned did not show. Una(empty) did show up some extra definitions, but also Unassigned. It is changed into U/A till weekly Demo is reset.
I’m aware that I will have to make the change with each upgrade, unless the string can be stored among the Global settings. I’m making a file of customizations that will have to be redone with each upgrade.
