Maintaining the Target Custom Paragraphs List

The Module Preferences button allows you to limit the custom paragraphs available to you when writing notes or clinical messages, or adding comments to medications or problems/procedures.

If you do not use it to specify at least one custom paragraph, the target list includes all available paragraphs. This includes all paragraphs you've saved to your personal list, as well as all paragraphs saved by you and your colleagues as "practice" custom paragraphs.

Use the following options to simplify and organize your list of custom paragraphs:

• To remove one or more custom paragraphs from the list

  1.   If you haven't already, go to the Custom Paragraphs module and click Module Preferences. The LMR displays the current list of all available custom paragraphs. (You may need to click Load My and Practice.)

  2.   Click the check box to the left of the custom paragraph name and Remove. The LMR displays a verification message.

  Note: Removing a custom paragraph only hides it from being displayed in the target list; it does not delete it. Also, only the author, supervisor, or practice manager can remove custom paragraphs saved as Practice General.

• To add individual custom paragraphs to this list

  1.   If you haven't already, go to the Custom Paragraphs module.

  2.   If necessary, use the filter buttons to find the custom paragraph you want to add. The default filter button, My, includes all custom paragraphs you've saved to your personal list. For details on other options, click here.

  3.   Click the Module check box and use the Move to Module... field to select where you want this custom paragraph to be available.

• To reorder custom paragraphs in this list

  1.   If you haven't already, go to the Custom Paragraphs module and click Module Preferences. The LMR displays the current list of all available custom paragraphs. (You may need to click Load My and Practice.)

  2.   Click the line for a custom paragraph to select it. (When doing so, be sure not to click the custom paragraph name; doing so displays the custom paragraph in edit mode.)

  3.   Then, click a navigation button to either move the custom paragraph up or down in the list, or to make it the first or last paragraph listed.

• To restore your target list at any time to include all available custom paragraphs

  1.   If you haven't already, go to the Custom Paragraphs module and click Module Preferences. The LMR displays the current list of all available custom paragraphs. (You may need to click Load My and Practice.)

  2.   If any custom paragraphs are displayed, they must first be deleted. Do so by clicking the Remove check box to select all paragraphs and clicking the Remove button. Then, click Load My and Practice.

Note: Your changes are effective immediately. You do not need to click Sign or type your key.
