Data Entry Panes

To add data using the Data Entry Panes select Add or Update (in this context, Update is adding to the patient record). Complete the forms offered following the prompts on screen and then select OK to save and close.

Note - You can only add comments of up to the maximum number of characters within quick forms. To add longer comments, tick Show full form, but only the maximum number of characters is sent to ECS. Text that is outside the maximum number displays in red.

To edit data displayed in a data entry pane:

  1. Highlight the item required and select Edit.
  2. Select OK on the maximum number of characters warning.
  3. Update the entry as required.
  4. Finally, select OK to save the change.
Important - It is not possible to remove data entered via the Data Entry Panes from within the ECS Summary Management module. To remove data added in error, delete in the usual way from the patient’s Journal screen.

To maximise a data pane, select Maximise .
