Digital Documents Repeatable Flag

This page contains content for future versions of VetView and does not reflect current versions.

A new repeatable setting in Digital Documents will allow you to designate a document as intended for a single patient, a multi-patient (group patient), or multi-time (flow chart.)

Turning this setting on will transform the document into a cell based spreadsheet for certain Question types.

There are two types of Spreadsheets: Patient Based Spreadsheet and Time Based Spreadsheet.
- Patient Based Spreadsheets can be attached to digital documents that should be applied to multiple patients, as in a group patient setting.
- Time based spreadsheets apply to a single patient, but the procedure will be repeated at regular intervals for the patient.
- Documents that exist for only one patient at one point in time are the normal existing Documents.
Spreadsheet documents attach to other documents using the Sub Document function within Digital Documents. Thus, the Spreadsheet document header can be attached to any existing document.
The spreadsheet header will capture additional information about each patient, or automatically append a time stamp to the document. This information will then collapse down into row form below the header.

Multi-Patient Concept

For example, a TPR document can be repeated for a series of identified/linked Group Patients.

The field services technician can manually enter in the animal ID, sex, as well as TPR data. Any other Digital Any other sub documents that have been attached to the spreadsheet element will also appear. In this case, a Bovine Vaccination Digital Document was set up as a multi-patient spreadsheet element.
Saving the document will add the Patient data as the top row of the spreadsheet. TPR data appears as a mouse over. If the user wishes to edit the TPR data after entering it, they can double click the row to re-open the patient’s information in the top box.
Patient and Sex must always appear as the first two columns, regardless of the other of other columns, if they are present in this spreadsheet.
TPR and Comments must always appear as the final column, regardless of the order of other columns, if they are present in this spreadsheet.
The X to delete a row should appear on mouse over to the right of the row in the spreadsheet element. .

Multi-Time

The multi-time spreadsheet element will add in a header to the document that contains all the fields of the sub document, with the addition of a time stamp field.

The time stamp should default to the time that the user is updating the document, but can be updated by clicking on an Update button next to the field.
Saving the information in the header section will push the saved information down to the top row of the spreadsheet.
On mouseover, a button will appear that allows the user to edit a role, copy the row’s information back to the header section (so they don’t need to re-enter all the information that remains the same), and a button to delete the row.
The date/time column must always appear as the first row in this spreadsheet.
