Form Builder

Archived AMPATH Form Builder documentation. This page describes the legacy ampath/ngx-openmrs-formbuilder interface retained for existing deployments. It is not a supported builder or preview for the current Angular Form Engine. The built-in O3 Form Builder targets React. See About this documentation.

The Form Builder provides a user interface for editing schemas in an existing legacy deployment.

When you open a maintained deployment of the legacy Form Builder, you'll see this login screen:

Enter the URL of your OpenMRS server in the OpenMRS Server URL field and then enter your login credentials to sign in.

Once signed in, you should see this landing page.
