Purpose and Benefits
An address hierarchy is maintained in the application to ensure that addresses are codified and human errors can be prevented during entry of patient addresses.
Steps
1) Upload CSV with address mappings:
Address Hierarchy needs to be configured in OpenMRS to display in Bahmni UI. It is best set up by uploading a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file of address hierarchy that represents the hierarchy you want in your implementation. If you have a hierarchy of State > District > Taluka / Block > Village / City then the CSV should have the format of State, District, Taluka , Village.
...
Now, once you have such CSV in place, go to OpenMRS > Administration > Manage Address Hierarchy
In "Upload Address Hierarchy" section, select this CSV file to upload
...
Click upload to complete the upload process.
2) Map Address Fields:
Once the Address CSV is successfully uploaded, you would see a list of fields in the "Address Hierarchy Levels"
...
To ensure that these address fields get synced to correct Labels in OpenELIS, refer to steps in Address Mapping between OpenELIS and Bahmni / OpenMRS
