Semi-automatic problem generation triggers a prompt to decide whether you want to create a Problem for an entry when there is a data entry which normally triggers a Guideline.

   Note - If the clinical term you enter triggers more than one Guideline, select the most appropriate Problem to create:
2. Select either:
   • Create - To create the new problem, see Creating a Problem for details of completing the header details, or
   • Cancel - To continue without creating a Problem.
3. If you select to add a Problem, what appears next depends on whether you have active or passive triggering of guidelines set:
   • If you have passive triggering of guidelines switched on - The guideline appears minimised as a green line at the bottom of the left-hand navigation pane. Select this minimised line to open the Guideline. Once the problem has been created, the Guideline displays minimised at the bottom of the Navigation Pane at every subsequent consultation.
   • If you have active triggering of guidelines switched on - You are prompted to view the triggered Guideline, select:
     • View to display the Guideline.
     • Exit to close this screen:
