Introduction-

From 7.0 onwards, if the customer wants to hide any specific field from the query interface, it is possible via the external plugin.

For example: If the customer wants to hide comments from visits, consent tier from participant or coordinator field from the collection protocol section.

The below XML code needs to add in the same file that is used to add new fields from the plugin.

Entity	File location in plugin	XML code

Entity	File location in plugin	XML code
Specimen	$OS_PLUGIN_HOME/src/main/resources/query-forms/specimen/	`<hiddenFields> <field udn="type"/> <field udn="label"/> <field udn="class"/> </hiddenFields>` Hides specimen type, label, and class from the specimen filter.
Visit	$OS_PLUGIN_HOME/src/main/resources/query-forms/visit/	`<hiddenFields> <field udn="site"/> <field udn="barcode"/> <field udn="name"/> </hiddenFields>` Hides the site, barcode, and name from the visit filter.
Participant	$OS_PLUGIN_HOME/src/main/resources/query-forms/cpr/	`<hiddenFields> <field udn="firstName"/> <field udn="middleName"/> </hiddenFields>` Hides first name, middle name from the participant filter.
Collection Protocol	$OS_PLUGIN_HOME/src/main/resources/query-forms/cp/	Hides short title, title from collection protocol filter.

Note: user defined name (udn) for the fields can be retrieved from files present at openspecimen/WEB-INF/resources/query-forms/ location on OpenSpecimen GitHub repository.
