Introduction
In OpenSpecimen, there are standard fields for participant, visit, and specimen pages. However, these fields must not be relevant for your study, or you would want to create new fields based on the CP requirements. Using this feature, super administrators can configure the user interface based on the CP's needs.
This is possible using JSON configuration at a CP level or system level.

Level JSON
To avoid the CP specific dictionary configuration for custom fields, systemSystem-level JSON is enhanced to show the custom field in any CP to avoid the CP-specific dictionary configuration for custom fields. The UI automatically append appends the CP-specific custom fields when a system-level dictionary is used for displaying the add/edit/overview pages. This is subject to the condition that the system-level dictionary doesn't have any custom fields in it.
This allows you to define a system-wide dictionary and yet allow will enable you to define CP-specific custom fields without requiring them to create/maintain a CP dictionary.
