Editing Function Variants 

Use

You can define the functions that you want to appear in the application toolbar and function bar above the main view area (see Clinical Work Station Screen Layout).

Prerequisites

As described under Creating Views, if a function variant is not maintained for the view, standard variants are used.

·        If IS-H*MED is active, the system uses the IS-H*MED standard variants.

·        If IS-H*MED is not active, the system uses the IS-H standard variants.

Name of standard function variant:

·        SAP&STANDARD (for IS-H)

·        SAP&STANDARDMED (for IS-H*MED)

Procedure

...

       1.      Call the Clinical Work Station.

For information about this, see Calling Clinical Work Station/Care Unit Work Station or Calling Outpatient Clinic/Service Facility Work Station.

       2.      Position the cursor on  or  to the left of the view whose function variant you wish to edit.

       3.      In the context menu, choose Change View.

The Change View dialog box appears.

The following editing options are available to you in the Function Variant row:

Additional Steps for Creating or Changing Function Variants

...

       1.      The Create or Change Function Variant <Name> screen appears.

A predefined set of functions is available based on the view type from which you call function variant maintenance. You can now create a specific function variant from this list of functions for the relevant view.

       2.      The following functions can be used for creating the function variant:

·          Pushbutton: Create function as pushbutton

·          Function: Create function in the drop-down menu of a pushbutton

·          Separator: Inserts a separator between pushbuttons/functions

       3.      On the right half of the screen you can see the function variants displayed in a tree structure (with all defined function attributes), and also as a pushbutton bar. This gives you control over how the function variants will be displayed in the Care Unit Work Station.

       4.      Select the position in the displayed function variant where you want to insert the new function.

If there are not yet any functions in the variant, the new function is automatically inserted in the first position.

       5.      Select the required function in the function list, and then choose either  Pushbutton or  Function. A pushbutton or a function in the drop-down menu is inserted in the position you selected earlier in the function variant.

       6.      You edit the function attributes by double-clicking on the function you’ve just inserted in the function variant. You can change the pushbutton/function text, assign a different icon, or change the help text shown. You can also enter a quick info. In the field to the right of the Quick Info field, you can assign function keys from CTRL+F1to CTRL+F12 from the value help.  You have to confirm these changes by choosing .

Pushbuttons must have an icon.

       7.      In addition, you can assign exactly one function the attribute Double-click. This means that in the corresponding view, a double-click on a line (a certain patient, for example) calls this function. Confirm these changes with Ok.

Drag & Drop lets you rearrange functions and pushbuttons within the function variant.

       8.      When you exit function variant processing, the system prompts you to save your changes. When you select a name, ensure that it is not a name reserved by SAP (“S*”).

Result

The function variant you have changed is available in the views to which it is assigned.
