Parameter Edit

Use this form enter or modify information about Parameter. The screen form can be reached from the Paremeter List form.

Each parameter name should be unique within the system. For numeric parameters where the measurement units are not obvious it is highly recommended to include measurement units into parameter name. For example, Temperature(F), Weight(lb), etc.

Check Research checkbox if this is a Research result parameter. Otherwise the system will treat this parameter as a Symptom.

For option parameter use the right panel to enter or edit the option list for the parameter.

Click on the item in the item list if you wish to edit it. When you've finished editing press Save. If you move in the item list without pressing of the Save button all your changes (if there were any) will be lost.

Press New button to enter a new item. Then when you've finished entering press Save button. Press Cancel button (located on the right panel) to cancel entering of a new item.

Press Delete button to delete the current item from the list. This button is only enabled if some item is selected.

When you've finished with the Parameter Edit form press OK. This will save all your changes into the database. Or press the Cancel button (located at the bottom of the form) to leave the form without saving of your changes. Both OK and Cancel button will finally bring you back to the Parameter List form.

Important note: If you leave the Patient Edit form otherwise than by pressing the OK button (for example by navigating to a different page in your web browser) all your changes will be lost. Pressing of the Save button on the right panel only saves the item within the screen temporarily, it does not write anything into the database.
