Procedure documentationSet Up Logging Configurations

 

Once you have determined the basic settings for application logging, you can set up logging configurations.

Logging configurations specify the conditions under which an activity to an electronic patient record (medical record) object is logged within the framework of application logging.

Only an active configuration in an active logging profile will result in the logging of activities. The logging configuration is often a combination of application events and filter conditions relating to the logging application.

Example Example

Clinical orders logging application:

  • Event: Displayed

  • Filter: Urological surgery order type

End of the example.

When you create new logging configurations, you must specify an institution. In these institution-related configurations you can therefore take into account application-related customizing.

For each logging configuration you can activate application-specific events and define relevant filter criteria. You can use problem classes and degrees of detail to structure the application logging log.

Note Note

You can use a logging configuration in one or more logging profiles.

End of the note.

Procedure

  1. In the implementation guide select Start of the navigation path Industry-Specific Component Clinical System Next navigation step Cross-Application Settings Next navigation step Event Management Next navigation step Application Logging Next navigation step Configure Application Logging End of the navigation path.

    The Change Logging Definitions screen appears (transaction N1ALDEF).

  2. Select the Logging Configurations pushbutton at the lower edge of the navigation area, to access the function for editing configurations.

  3. In the navigation area select a logging application (e.g. clinical order) or one of the configuration groups created below.

    Note Note

    Configuration groups are used to clearly structure the logging applications of an application in the navigational area in the setup function for application logging (Change Logging Definition screen).

    End of the note.

    You can also create a new configuration group for a logging application by selecting the logging application and, in the selection list for Create Configuration Configuration (Create Configuration), selecting the Create Group function. You access the Create Configuration Group dialog box. Enter the name of the new configuration group.

  4. Choose Create Configuration Configuration (Create Configuration).

    You access the Create Configuration dialog box.

  5. Enter the necessary data, e.g. institution and name of configuration and select Continue (Continue).

  6. In the work area enter the data required for the new logging configuration.

    You can use the problem class to group messages according to importance. You can use the degree of detail to equip messages for events with a specific level of detail.

    Messages triggered by the relevant event (e.g. print document) receive this problem class and degree of detail, so that you can quickly find the messages important to you during an evaluation with a great number of messages (by filtering, sorting, etc.).

    In the Filter Values group frame you can set filters for the logging of events.

    Example Example

    The system should only log events relating to clinical orders which are addressed to a specific order filler.

    End of the example.

  7. Select Check (Check) or save the configuration.

  8. Select Activate Configuration (Activate Configuration), to activate the configuration and to use it for application logging.

Example

Within the framework of application logging you wish to log when and by whom specific findings (parameterized document) were changed, which are assigned to a specific employee responsible.
