hey joaquin. here are more answers to your three questions, for htmlforms.
1. htmlforms allow you to use the same concept multiple times, but if that concept is grouped with other concepts, then you need to put each group in its own distinct obsgroup. For example, say you ask the following two questions multiple times on an intake form after a patient transfer (I'm making this up, but just roll with it): 'previous cd4 count', 'lab where test was performed'. If for a given patient you want to enter more than one of these pairs, you MUST put each pair in its own distinct obsgroup -- otherwise, you won't know which test result corresponds to which lab. If you're thinking about using htmlform schemas to generate data import templates, this is straightforward for 'flat' htmlforms. The hard part will be if you want to fully support obsGroups -- which would mean representing N-depth obsGroup heirarchies in auto-generated templates. (Although if you have a use case involving obsGroups at all, it probably can be handled with just 1 level of obsGroups (like infopath)). And, to get at an htmlform's schema, i've always done this with code -- you start a FormEntrySession using the form you're interested in and a fake patient, and then you can navigate the FormEntrySessions' schema objects -- there's a getSchema method in there somewhere. 2. if you don't specify obs_datetime explicitly, these default to encounter_datetime 3. htmlforms allow you to add the showDate attribute for any obs tag, which will render a date field for that obs that is mapped to obs.obs_datetime. So its up to the form designer to expose this or not. d On Sun, May 6, 2012 at 8:49 AM, Burke Mamlin <[email protected]>wrote: > Joaquín, > > obs.obs_datetime should always be set and should be the best approximate > to the point in time that the observation occurred (i.e., the physiologic > time for laboratories, the time that the question was asked for > questionnaire questions, etc.).
