SORMAS supports a wide range of diseases, and not all of those might be relevant to every SORMAS instance or might be used in a different context. As with features, configuring diseases is currently only possible directly in the database via the diseaseconfiguration table. All diseases have a default value for each of their properties that is applied when the respective database entry is empty. Changing these entries overrides that default value. Unlike with features, disease configurations are cached and therefore require you to restart the server before they are applied.

Important: If you're using the mobile app, you also need to update the changedate to the current date and time whenever you change a disease configuration! Otherwise the mobile applications will not be notified about the change.

Important: At this point only diseases that are already defined in SORMAS can be configured. The following list serves as reference:

...

UPDATE diseaseconfiguration SET primarydisease=true, casebased=false, agegroups='0D_28D,29D_2M,3M_12M,1Y_4Y,5Y_15Y,16Y' WHERE disease = 'CHOLERA';
