On the Catalog tab page, you enter and receive information concerning the status of the drug, the external catalog from which it was imported, and external references to other catalogs.

If you have imported a drug from an external catalog, the information in the Catalog group box are (as far as possible) already filled due to the information available in the external catalog (e.g. catalog name, validities, etc.).

You can use the Manual Check indicator to control whether imported drugs must be checked before they are activated, because, for example, drug values were calculated during the import.

Furthermore you can determine whether an import of an external drug can make changes to the properties of a drug which already exists in the internal catalog (formulary).

If you manually create a drug, the system will not automatically set the Manual Check indicator for this drug.
