Creating a User Template
If the system parameter Allow User Templates in
the Vitals Manager module is checked, you may create or edit your own
templates. If Allow User Templates is not checked, you cannot create
a user template. (You must have the GMV MANAGER security key to use Vitals
Manager: contact your IRMS representative for assistance.)
To create a new template:
- From the File menu in the main Vitals window, select Edit
User Templates. The Vitals Template Editor opens: any existing
user templates are listed in the left side of the window.
- Click the New button at the bottom of the window. Enter
a descriptive name for the new template (up to 30 characters), then
click OK. The new template name appears in the Templates list
on the left side of the Vitals Manager window.
- Click the new template name. A blank template form opens in the
Vitals Template Editor window. Enter a brief description of the template
(up to 50 characters).
- To add vital types and qualifiers to this template, click the Add
button on the far right side of the window. A list of available vital
types opens.
- Select one or more vital types to be added to this template: use
Ctrl+ click to select multiple vital types, or Shift+
click to select a range of vital types. Click OK to add the
selected vitals to the Vitals Template Editor window.
- In the Template Vitals list, click a vital type to add qualifiers
to it. All available qualifiers for the selected vital will appear
in the Qualifiers list. If no qualifiers are available for the selected
vital type, the Qualifiers list will be empty.
- Select a qualifier in each category, or select None by clicking
the blank line at the top of the drop down list. Repeat steps 6-7
to add qualifiers to each vital type in the list.
- Click Save. The template is added to the Templates list
in the Enter Vitals window.
