FHIR-compliant settings for form building/rendering. Define language, themes, URL prefixes, redirects, and audit logs. Supports system-wide and override configurations.
Configuration
Overview
The Aidbox Forms implements a FHIR-compliant Configuration resource that enables fine-grained control over form builder and renderer behavior. This resource adheres to CRUD operations via the standard FHIR API endpoints. The Configuration resource schema encompasses parameters such as:
User Interface Settings: Default language and theme preferences.
Form Builder Configuration: Settings that control the behavior and appearance of the form creation interface.
Form Renderer Configuration: Parameters that define how forms are displayed and interacted with by end-users.
Navigation and Workflow Controls: Settings for redirects, button visibility, and form state (e.g., read-only mode).
Logging and Auditing: Configurations related to event tracking and application identification.
A global Configuration resource can be instantiated to serve as the system-wide default, applying to all Questionnaire resources unless explicitly overridden. The system supports configuration inheritance and overriding. When generating a shared form link, developers can specify a custom Configuration resource reference. This allows for context-specific rendering behavior, ensuring that the form presentation adheres to the designated configuration parameters. This architecture facilitates flexible, hierarchical configuration management, enabling both system-wide defaults and use-case specific customizations within the Aidbox Forms ecosystem.
Configuration Resource Structure
resourceType: The type of the resource. Must be SDCConfig.
id: The unique identifier for the configuration resource.
name: The machine-readable name of the configuration resource.
description: The human-readable description of the configuration resource.
default: A boolean value that specifies whether the configuration is the default for the system or tenant.
builder: Configuration settings for the form builder.
form-url-prefix: The URL prefix used in URL generation for new forms.
hide-back-button: A boolean value that specifies whether the back button should be hidden.
translation-languages: Array of languages that can be used for translations in the builder. If not provided, all languages are allowed.
form: Configuration settings for the form.
redirect-on-submit: The redirect URI used when the form is submitted or amended.
redirect-on-save: The redirect URI used when the form is saved or closed.
read-only: A boolean value that specifies whether the form should be read-only.
app-name: The name of the app that will be mentioned in the AuditEvent logs.
default-max-width: The default maximum width of the form. It can accept values in all CSS units (e.g., px, rem, %). Default is 960px. This value will take effect only if the questionnaire does have Max Form Width set.
To delete a configuration resource, send a DELETE request to the /SDCConfig/:id endpoint, where :id is the unique identifier of the configuration resource.
DELETE /SDCConfig/example-config
List Configuration Resources
To list all configuration resources, send a GET request to the /SDCConfig endpoint.
GET /SDCConfig
Get Default Configuration Resource
To get the default configuration resource, send a GET request to the /$sdc-config endpoint.
GET /$sdc-config
Theme
QuestionnaireTheme resource allows you to customize the appearance of the Aidbox Form Renderer. The theme resource can include the following properties:
{"base-font-size":"16px",// Base font size for the theme"font-family":"Arial, sans-serif",// Font family used in the theme"main-color":"#3498db",// Primary color of the theme"background": {"form-color":"#ffffff",// Background color of forms"main-color":"#f0f0f0",// Background color of the main page"toolbar-color":"#2c3e50" // Background color of the toolbar },"brand-image": {"bottom-left":"https://example.com/img-bottom-left.png",// Link to the image displayed at the bottom-left corner"top-right":"https://example.com/img-top-right.png" // Link to the image displayed at the top-right corner },"input": {"accent-color":"#2980b9",// Accent color for input elements like focus states or borders"background-color":"#ecf0f1",// Background color for input fields"font-size":"14px",// Font size for input text"text-color":"#2c3e50" // Text color inside input fields },"button": {"accent-color":"#27ae60",// General accent color for buttons"amend-color":"#f39c12",// Background color for the "Amend" button"amend-text-color":"#ffffff",// Text color for the "Amend" button"amend-text":"Amend",// Label text for the "Amend" button"print-color":"#8e44ad",// Background color for the "Print" button"print-text-color":"#ffffff",// Text color for the "Print" button"print-text":"Print",// Label text for the "Print" button"redirect-color":"#c0392b",// Background color for the "Close" button"redirect-text-color":"#ffffff",// Text color for the "Close" button"redirect-text":"Close",// Label text for the "Close" button"submit-text":"Submit",// Label text for the "Submit" button"text-color":"#ffffff" // General text color for all buttons }}
All of these properties are optional, and you can customize the theme to suit your application's design. By providing a theme object, you can create a consistent and branded experience for users interacting with forms in your application.
Translations
The translations object in the Configuration resource allows defining custom text for the Aidbox Form Builder and Renderer. It uses a structured, hierarchical format where each key corresponds to a feature or component, and the leaf nodes specify locale-based translations. This structure supports multiple languages and regional variations by enabling you to specify locale codes such as en for English, fr for French, or more granular options like en-US for American English and fr-CA for Canadian French.
The example provided below represents a comprehensive translations object for English, covering all possible keys. You can extend this object by adding translations for additional languages. If a specific language (e.g., en for English or any other) is omitted, the Aidbox Form will use its standard default translations for that language.
