Hi Andy,
I don't have all the answers, but you should be able to include a person
attribute on a data export. It's not in the convenient drop-down list,
but you can add it in manually. We do that to get our tribe person
attribute sometimes. You can setup a column value something like this,
but changing it to match the name of your Household ID.
$!{fn.getPersonAttribute('Tribe')}
I'm sure you've tried the obvious in getting the person attribute to
appear in search results, but just in case; At the bottom of the person
attribute page, you should be able to choose which fields to include in
search result lists. Looks like it's called "Patient Listing
Attributes" in OpenMRS 1.8. This can be specified by name, with a comma
(and no spaces) between values. This is broken in 1.8. If this is
something you anticipate needing once you upgrade, please place a vote
for it. https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-2442
Thanks,
James

Subject: [OPENMRS-IMPLEMENTERS] Adding Household ID and make searchable
and reportable
I added a new person_attribute called Household ID, made it a
java.string and searchable. I added it to the patient list and patient
view and header elements. I am using 1.6.5
It now appears on the short demographic entry screen and on the patient
header and when I view the patient. It does NOT appear on the search
result list, nor when I search for the code does it return any results.
Any idea why this might not be working?
Also, I think we need to have a report of patient name and household ID.
I thought I could use data export for this, but it appears that person
attributes do not appear. I could right custom XML, or just do a SQL
query, but wondered if someone was more familiar with the built in
functions for 1.6x it might be easier just to ask :)
Thanks!
Andy
