Project description:

This project will make the current application context available to reports.

For Jasper Reports, these will be available as fields.

For OpenOffice reports, these will be available as user fields.

Fields will be prefixed with "OpenVPMS." to avoid clashes with existing fields.

These can be used:

to customise forms and letters - e.g. include the current practice location name and address in report headings
as alternatives to report parameters. e.g. rather than entering the current customer identifier as a parameter, this can be determined automatically

Supported Fields

Field	Description
OpenVPMS.patient	The current patient
OpenVPMS.customer	The current customer
OpenVPMS.practice	The current practice
OpenVPMS.location	The current practice location
OpenVPMS.stockLocation	The current stock location
