Maintain User Favorites
You can use the user favorites to determine user-specific drug favorites.
In this way you can provide the users with frequently ordered drugs as favorites, in order to simplify the search and selection of drugs.
Depending on the user-specific presettings this selection represents a list of drugs which you can assign as favorites.
Note
Favorites are cross-institutional.
In order to assign favorites you can create a new entry in the favorites maintenance function. You access favorite maintenance in the Implementation Guide
under 
Industry-Specific Component Clinical System
Medication

User Favorites
from the drug search itself or from the maintenance of user-specific presettings.

The left screen area displays favorites which are already assigned to you., Favorites are sorted according to priority in descending order. The system sets the priority using the position at which a drug is entered in the favorites. You can move entries using Drag & Drop to change the priorities of favorites.
The input help for the Mnemonic
field calls the drug search with the single selection of a drug from the results list. The results list displays only drugs.
