Working with Data Tables

You can customize the way in which data display in eSlide Manager by adding and editing columns and their parameters in the data tables for each type of data. Depending on your type of installation, you may use some data tables but not others. A clinical installation would use the Cases table whereas a research installation would use Projects and an education configuration would use the Courses table.

 

  1. Go to the Administrative menu on the eSlide Manager main menu bar and select Data Tables.

  2. Click Edit to open the table you want to change, or click the table name.

  3. On the data table page for any element, you can:

  1. Select the data column for which you wish to define the available choices.

  2. Enter those values in the Vocabulary field for that column, separating each choice with a | symbol. For example: heart|kidney|liver|bladder|breast.

  3. To begin with a blank field instead of displaying the first choice by default, begin the list with a pipe (|) symbol as well.

  4. To Rename or Add a Column

  1. To rename any data column, type a new title in the Display Name field.

  2. To add a new column, click the down arrow in the Order column of an unused column (Column1 through Column10) and select a number to make the column visible in the order represented by that number.

  3. Change the Display Name to a name of your choice.

Case Data Views

Operator data views are listed at the bottom of the Data Tables page.

When you are logged into the Clinical data hierarchy, the Data Tables page lists data views that are of use to clinical administrators.

Case Worklists - When the case worklist feature is in effect, operators can see cases listed by their status. To enable this, set the Status field in the Case table to a vocabulary list. For example, if the Case data table Status field has a vocabulary list of pending|complete|approved, then you see a worklist of cases by status when you go to the Cases menu at the top of the eSlide Manager page.

When an operator goes to the case list page by using one of the case worklist commands on the Cases menu, the fields displayed on the cases list page are limited to just those fields that are useful to clinical operators. For information on how the administrator defines which fields appear in the case worklist, see Defining the Case Worklist.

eSlide Manager Healthcare Network Applications Data Views - A number of data views are available that allow the administrator to add fields to the Case data tab in various eSlide Manager Healthcare Network Applications to display additional case information. For details on using this feature, see the eSlide Manager Administrator's Guide.
