Renaming columns and search criteria

Based on the terminology used at your site, you can adjust the names of the columns in worklists and in the search criteria in the IMPAX Client. For example, you can change all instances of the term "Patient ID" to "Medical Record Number". Note, however, that changing a column or search criteria name changes every instance of that text throughout the IMPAX Client.

CAUTION!

CAUTION!

We recommend using this feature sparingly. Renaming significant numbers of strings makes it more difficult to follow procedures in the Knowledge Base and more difficult for service personnel to relate to items discussed in the user interface.

To rename columns and search criteria

  1. From the Configure drawer menu Configure drawer menu, select Preferences.

  2. In the navigation pane, select any top-level role.

    Renaming applies to all roles and users.

  3. In the details pane, expand the List Area bar.

  4. On the Column and Search Criteria Names tab, right-click on the table and select Find Original Name.

  5. In the Find Original Name dialog, type the text to rename.

  6. Click Search.

    Matching text is returned. Text that has already been renamed is preceded by an asterisk (*).

  7. In the Return column, select the checkboxes next to any strings you want to rename.

  8. Click OK.

    The strings are added to the table.

  9. Select the row and type the changes in the New Name column.

  10. Edit any other names as required by clicking the table row and typing changes directly into the New Name column.

    The changes are saved automatically when you switch context.

Tip
