Dragging and Dropping in Consultation Manager

Problem Orientated Records

Any data can be dragged from a tab and dropped on to a problem within the Problem tab, allowing you to quickly move data from one area to another. Among the advantages this gives you is the ability to:

• Copy data from the current consultation into multiple problems.
• Copy and move data from one problem to another.
• Select multiple existing data items and use them to generate a new problem.

Floating Drag and Drop Target

If you select and drag and item, a floating target displays:

Drop the item on to:

• Another - Make a copy of the selected entry with today’s date.
• Make a referral for this item - Make a referral using the selected entry details.
• Set up a recall for this item - Make a recall using the selected entry details.
• Guideline - If a Guideline is triggered by the Read code of the selected entry, display the guideline.
• Prescription - Depending on the type of prescription you are dropping, either:
  • Creates a repeat master based on the selected acute prescription, Creating a Repeat from an Acute Prescription, or
  • Creates an acute issue based on the selected repeat issue, see Creating an Acute from a Repeat Prescription.
• Copy to Windows clipboard - Copy the selected entry or entries for pasting elsewhere.

The target always appears above and to the left of the cursor where space permits or close to the cursor in any available space. Select the spacebar to hide the drop target.
