To automate a complex series of Image area tasks that are frequently performed, create an image wizard. Wizards are a saved set of Image area actions. (In many other applications, the equivalent of an image wizard is called a macro.) Though it is often easier to perform and record the set of wizard actions, you can fully define wizard actions in a dialog. You can also modify the actions of an existing wizard.
 | Important! Creating image wizards can cause the functionality they support to be disabled. We strongly recommend only experienced administrators create image wizards or contact Agfa Professional Services. |
To define actions for an image wizard
If setting preferences for other users, impersonate the user or role.
Press F12 or, from the Image area top toolbar, click Customize.
In the Customize dialog, switch to the Wizards tab.
For a new wizard, click Add. For an existing wizard, select it and click Edit.
In the Add New or Edit Wizard dialog, under Edit Script, if nothing but Tcl code is displayed, select the Make Recordable checkbox.
Note:
If you are comfortable with scripting and would prefer to edit the Tcl code directly, do not select this checkbox. Instead, type your changes, then skip to step 11. Sample Tcl script for Image area wizards provides an example of a Tcl script.
From the Action list, select the action this wizard is to perform, or select an action to edit.
Under Wizard Parameters, complete the definition for the selected action.
For example, if you selected Adjust Window Level as the Action, under Wizard Parameters you must specify the Window Width and Window Center values that the image is to be adjusted to.
From the Context list, select when this action is to be applied: to the Clicked Series, Clicked Image, Clicked Study, or Advanced.
Not all context options are available for all actions. For example, for Display Scout, only the Clicked Image option is available.
If you selected Advanced as the Context, from the Context Parameters list, select when this action applies.
For example, you can select Every Nth Image in Clicked Series as the Context Parameter, then type the number to represent N — for example, 3 for every third image in the series.
To have the wizard perform another action, click Insert (perform before the current action) or Append (perform after the current action) and repeat steps 6–9.
To edit another action, repeat steps 6–9.
If creating a new wizard, to complete and save the wizard, follow the “To define and save a new wizard” and “To make a new toolbar-triggered wizard available for selection” procedures in Creating an image wizard by recording actions.
If editing an existing wizard, click Save.
