# Tools Menu

The Tools menu allows you to quickly access other applications and utilities from within CPRS. Depending on the configuration of your site, the Tools menu may allow you to access other VistA applications such as VistA Imaging or c onnect you to third-party applications such as word-processing programs or Internet browsers. Talk to your clinical coordinator if you wish to add an application or utility to the Tools menu.

At the request of sites, CPRS added the ability to create nested or submenus (menus within menus) to help them organize the items that sites place on their Tools menus. The number of items was increased to 99 total items (including items and separator lines). Again, these items are placed on the menu and organized by a Clinical Application Coordinator (CAC) or someone with a similar role at your site.

The Tools menu also contains several standard menu items: Veteran Health Library, Graphing…, Lab Test Information, Options…, and Digital Signing Setup. The items are explained below or there is a link under Related Topics.

## Veteran Health Library

The MyHealthevet Veteran Health Library (VHL) is the first item listed under the CPRS Tools menu. Selecting this link takes the user to the MyHealtheVet Veteran Health Library web site.

## Graphing…

This menu item enables the user to do some graphing. See CPRS Graphing for specific instructions.
