have looked at the deceased patient and the patient export activity report and was wondering how you learn to write these things as I was going to try and combine elements of both.

Hi there,

1. Report design

You can try googling iReport tutorial. Prepare to spend some time if you are not familiar with report generation. That will help with .

 

2. The data

If you want to control what data comes into the report then learning the database structure of openVPMS and the query language (SQL) is required. Or picking apart the SQL query of the existing reports can be a great shortcut to learn how to get certain data.

 

Good luck

Matt C
