Explanation: This is a graphical access to the Fileman Input Template process.
-Because this is oriented to Patient/Client Registration, it is strictly tied to the Patient file.
-As noted by the logo at the top of this page, the database manager, Fileman, provides the filing of
-your work.
One note on Fileman's capability: There are fields that can hold multiple values
-and sub-fields of information. An example of this is the Alias multiple field:
-
-- .01 ALIAS
-- 1 ALIAS SSN
-
-Here is a test patient, Mortimer Snerd and his alias(es):
-
-| PATIENT LIST |
|---|
-
- | ALIAS |
- ALIAS SSN |
-
-
- | SNERD,MORTY |
- 000001111 |
-
-
- | QUACKENBUSH,EBENEEZER U |
- 000001112 |

-
-Multiple fields are identified by the parent field followed by the term (multiple) with
-children of the parent shown as >>>>>>field name.

Editing or Making a New Template:
-
-
- - The application will look first for highlighted text in the yellow colored list area.
- - If there is none it will then look in the gray colored list area.
- - In either case, press the "Make" button.
-
- - The window will expand showing the template editing area.
- - See Below

-
- - If no template is highlighted (as mentioned above), then the program will
- retrieve all fields from the patient file and display them in the top listing area.
- - The Template field between the two areas will have either the highlighted template name
- or the default instruction "Template name here". If making a new template, enter a name.
- (The rollover hint will advise of name formatting, which is minimal.)
- - The lower area is a free-text, standard memo. Right-click over it will show the
- standard copy/cut/paste options.
- - There are three buttons next to the Template field:
-
- - Save: Saves your work.
- - Cancel: Clears the values in both listing areas and
- and closes the window.
- - ?: This help window.
-
-
-
Process:
-
- - Highlight a template in one of the template listing areas,
- - Or not, and Press the "Make" button,
- - Enter a name for your template, if one was not selected,
- - Transfer data from the listing above to your memo:
-
- - Select the fields you want transferred by highlighting either
- individually, range of fields (CLK-Drag or SHFT-Clk), or multiple individual
- fields (CTRL-Clk).
- - RIGHT-CLK will automatically move the field(s) to the memo area.
- - To help target sets of fields, use the Find feature at the top of form
-
- - For example, if you wanted to find address fields for your template,
- You could enter STREET,CITY,STATE,POSTAL,ZIP,COUNTY, and press the "Go"
- button. A Separate pop-up will list all those fields in the patient
- file that contained that text. Then use the SHFT-Click (range) or CTRL-
- click (individual selections), and press the ok. Those fields will be
- appended to the template memo area for any further editing.
-
-
- - When satisfied with your work, press the "Save" button and the following
- should happen:
-
- - The template is saved on the M server system via Fileman
- - The regit.txt listing file at the home directory will be updated
- - The "Templates in regit.txt" listing on this window will be updated
- - The combo template list on the main window will be updated
- - The template will be available for selection.
