To mark any field as PHI in the query, one needs to update the default query forms in the OpenSpecimen. All these are available in tomcat at ${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/openspecimen/WEB-INF/classes/query-forms/

Note: After making the below changes, the tomcat needs to be restarted.

Below is an example  to mark visit collection date as PHI:

Open the scg.xml, search forthecollectionDate. It will look like below:

<row>
  <datePicker>
    <name>collectionDate</name>
    <udn>collectionDate</udn>
    <caption>#getMessage("visit_date")</caption>
    <column>COLLECTION_TIMESTAMP</column>
  </datePicker>
</row>

Add '<phi>true</phi>'inthecollectionDate row. After updating, it will look like below:

<row>
  <datePicker>
    <name>collectionDate</name>
    <udn>collectionDate</udn>
    <caption>#getMessage("visit_date")</caption>
    <column>COLLECTION_TIMESTAMP</column>
    <phi>true</phi>
  </datePicker>
</row>

By following the above steps, any field can be marked as PHI in the query.

Below is the list of the forms and object mapping. All these files should be located in tomcat at ${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/openspecimen/WEB-INF/classes/query-forms/
