Set the Labels and Entry Fields for a General Care (Other) Order

1. Click an option button to choose the Numeric, Free-text, or Combo type.

2. Define parameters for the variable:

• For the numeric type, type values for a minimum and maximum to set an acceptable range for entries.

• For free-text, type the number of character spaces the field will display (field width). This doesn't limit the number of characters that the user can enter.

• For the combo field, type each drop-down list item and press enter. To erase an item, click to select it, then click Remove.

3. Click OK (ALT+O).

• You can add up to three variables (entry fields) to any custom-defined general care other order.

• Labels can be set to the left (before), the right (after), or both sides of an entry field.

• Labels and variable parameters cannot be edited once you click OK. You must create a new order if the current order is not correct.

• The Pharmacy related setting can be changed once the order is on the template. See Editing Order Properties.

• Check the preview at the top of the order definer dialog box to be sure that the order you're writing will fit on the template.
