All following major releases of OpenCRVS will document any breaking changes and a migration guide for system administrators.
Major Features
The following explains in more detail each major feature that has been included in this release.
Correct a record
It is now possible for all corrections made to an onging declaration by a Registration Agent and Registrar to be tracked and audited. Additionally, it is now possible for a Registrar to be able to make a correction to an already registered birth or death certificate. The correct record process supports uploading supporting legal documentation and configuration of any fees associated.
Record audit
All actions that are performed on a declaration or a registration are tracked, audited and displayed to the user when downloading details of the declaration or registration. This download process is also tracked and audited. This feature allows the user to easily monitor changes to the status of the declaration, any corrections that have been made to it and audit any access requested to personally identifiable information of a citizen by any civil registration staff member.
Registration form configuration user interface
Previously, birth and death form configuration was managed via a complicated JSON file in the country configuration repository. There is now an easy to use, form configuration user interface for National System Administrators to draft, edit, preview, test and publish the declaration forms. The old JSON approach has been deprecated.
Application configuration user interface
Previously, application settings such as fees, registration target deadlines, country logo and phone number validation regular expressions etc were managed manually via text config files in the country configuration repository. There is now an easy to use, application configuration user interface for National System Administrators to configure these values on-the-fly. The old config file approach has been deprecated.
Certificate configuration user interface
Previously, certificate configuration was managed via a complicated JSON file in the country configuration repository. There is now an easy to use, certificate configuration user interface for National System Administrators that allows them to upload an SVG design with handlebars for registration data. The certificates can be previewed and printed in this interface. The old JSON approach has been deprecated.
Birth and death form default configuration refresh
The default and standardised, OpenCRVS recommended birth and death form configuration comes pre-packaged into OpenCRVS. The question flow has been further optimised after feedback from our OpenSource community of civil registrars.
Performance improvements
The Performance user interface has been completed refreshed. It now includes detailed analytics on completeness rates, sources of applications, declaration status, field agent performance, breakdown of nationwide to specific office analytics and comparison between number of registrars and population numbers.
New user roles (National Registrar, National System Administrator, Performance Manager)
The National Registrar role has been created. This is a registrar's super admin and can view any declaration or registration nationwide and monitor the performance of any office. The National System Administrator role has the ability to configure the form, certificate and application settings as well as create/edit/deactive any user nationwide. The Performance Manager role has no access to any PII in any declaration or registration. They can access nationwide performance analytics only. This is an ideal 3rd party role for a statistician.
UI design refresh of the navigation, workqueues and many pages
System administrators who have tried out previous versions of OpenCRVS will notice a complete design refresh of the navigation, workqueues and many sections. The new look and feel is cleaner, easier to configure for your national needs and makes better use of screen real estate.
Archive / Reinstate
As long as the declaration has been submitted for review, it is now possible to archive an existing declaration, thus removing it from any workqueue. As every submitted declaration has a unique tracking ID, it can be retrieved in nationwide searches by a Registrar user and reinstated.
Conflicts
When a Registration Agent or a Registrar downloads a declaration in order to perform an action, they are "Assigned" the record. Other users will notice if they search for the same record that it is already assigned. Registration Agents must ask a Registrar to check and "Unassign" the record. This prevents users from making conflicting changes to the same record. A Registrar has the authority to "Unassign" the record from an individual who has it "Assigned" to them to overrule this process.
3rd party penetration test fixes
This version of OpenCRVS has undergone another round of 3rd party, security penetration testing by the consultancy GoFore - NORAD's preferred security testing provider. Any issue that was discovered during the penetration test have been resolved.
Dependency upgrades
In this release we have forked and upgraded Hearth, Jembi's FHIR database server originally located here. We resolved all dependencies that had any open security warning.
Miscellaneous bugfixes and refactor
A host of bugfixes were discovered and prioritsed by our QA team. Our test cases will soon be published in our documentation.
