Bit of help with letters

Submitted by Matt C on Sat, 25/04/2009 - 08:41

Hi everyone,
I am needing some help with letters (specifically patient letters) that use input fields.
I have created a test letter in open office, inserted "input fields". When adding a new document using this template to a patient OpenVPMS asks for the input fields, but what I type into the fields does not appear in the document.

Is there a step I am missing?

Cheers,
Matt C

And just another question whilst on documents

Submitted by Matt C on Sat, 25/04/2009 - 08:48.

Sorry to spam everyone this morning,

but does anyone know how to grab an owners title within a patient form?

 

eg. Currently we use [party:getPartyFullName(party:getPatientOwner(.))] to get owner name. My staff have asked for the title to be included (Mr/Mrs etc).

 

Any ideas?

Hi Matt,

[party:getCustomerNode(.,'title')]

GetCustomerNode can take an act or a party. It will check to see if the Act has a customer node if not it will check for a patient node and get the owner for the connected patient.

You can use this function for any customer field you need.

Cheers Tony

Hi Tony,

I've been playing with [party:getCustomerNode(.,'title')]and only managing to get "Invalid property name:[party:getCustomerNode(.,'title')]".

do i have my cases or apostrophes wrong?

Looks OK to me. What document type are you using? I've tried both jasper reports and OpenOffice documents.

Also make sure that there are no spaces before the "[" and after the "]". If there is, it won't be treated as an expression.

 

Followup question re using user fields in letters

Submitted by Matt C on Sat, 25/04/2009 - 16:22.

Is there a letter sample that gets bundled with OpenVPMS that uses input fields that I can copy from? I have checked the templates that travel with the 1.3 update and can't find an example.

Hi matt,

The only input field example is a test document from the reports project. I have tested it and it works as expected so hopefully it will give you some clues as to why yours doesn't.

Cheers Tony

Cheers Tony, I couldn't get it to work by inserting user fields even when comparing mine with the sample document you provided but what did work was copying and pasting the sample docs user fields into my documents! I'm sure I'm adding the user fields incorrectly but seeing I now can just copy them in, the problem is worked around.

I have posted some Patient letters that I have created today in the Shared resources section of the site.

Thank you again Matt C
