A User-Defined Field Prompt Set Example

See also:

Two supplied fields are displayed here;

  • <<Patient Demographics Full Name>>

  • <<Patient Demographics Full Address>>

 

Upon creating a new letter based on this example template, these two fields will automatically be replaced by the data they relate to; the patient's full name and full address, as recorded in Clinical.

This is the Custom Field Properties window. When you add a User-Defined field to a template, this window appears, and it is within this window that you specify what sort of user-defined field you are adding to your template.

In the example below;

  • The user has selected 'Prompt' as the type of field. By selecting 'prompt' here, the user is indicating that they wish to insert multiple user-defined fields, of varying types (if desired), as opposed to inserting a single user-defined field. See User-Defined Fields for information on inserting single user-defined fields.

  • They have also specified that this user-defined field set consists of three fields, named "Note Field 1", "A Text Field", "Note Field 2", as indicated in the Items section in the example. This means that when a user creates a new letter based on this template, they will be prompted to provide information for these three fields.

  • They have named the field 'My Demo Prompt Set'.

This is what a user-defined field looks like after it has been inserted into a template; similar to a supplied field, but with a name you have provided it.
