NOTE: 

To get the formId and formCtxId, execute the below SQL query:

Code Block
select 
  c.name as formName, c.identifier as formId, ctx.identifier as formCtxId, ctx.entity_type as level, cp.title as cp 
from 
  dyextn_containers c  
  inner join catissue_form_context ctx on ctx.container_id = c.identifier 
  left join catissue_collection_protocol cp on cp.identifier = ctx.cp_id 
where   
  c.caption = '<form display name>'


 

In above SQL form display name refers to caption that user sees in Manage Forms or form data entry view

Here <form name> is the name of the form for which user wants to make data entry. e.g. for Specimen Collection Event the name is "SpecimenCollectionEvent".

Error Cases :An alternative to using SQL is using below APIs 

  • List forms available for data entry

    Code Block
    GET openspecimen/rest/ng/forms
  • List associations of form

    Code Block
    GET openspecimen/rest/ng/forms/{formId}/contexts
