I would like to add a ‘Printed Name’ field to the security.user.adl

ie insert:

        <node name="printedName" path="/details/printedName" type="java.lang.String" displayName="Printed Name"/>

after the current description node.

This is designed for use when you want to print the clinician’s (or any other user’s) name with their full qualifications – eg Dr Joe Bloggs MA VetMB MRCVS

We already do this. We use the ‘short names’ approach – ie the Full Name is set to the clinician’s initials (eg JB), the Description to their name with title but no qualifications (eg Dr Joe Bloggs), and with ‘Printed Name’ set as above.

The reason I would like an official ‘Printed Name’ field is that I am renovating the standard documents, and would like to put a good ‘official looking’ name on the clinician who generated the Estimate. I will also update the standard Patient Documents to use this rather than the current  clinician.entity.name

The migration SQL could be tweaked to set the Printer Name to the current Description using the following SQL:

insert into entity_details (entity_id, type, value, name)
select
                e.entity_id,
                'string',
                e.description,
                 'printedName'
from entities e
join entity_classifications ec on ec.entity_id = e.entity_id
join lookups l on l.lookup_id = ec.lookup_id
left join entity_details ed on ed.entity_id = e.entity_id
   and ed.name ='printedName'
where e.arch_short_name = 'security.user'
and l.code = 'CLINICIAN'
and isNull(ed.value);
