List to Edit

Select from the following options:

  • Address Book Categories: Items added to this list display as categories in the Address book and its various entry forms.
    • Clinical comes supplied with numerous categories, hard-coded. You can add/remove user-defined categories, but you cannot modify the pre-defined set.
    • If you delete a category that is in use by an addressee, the addressee in question will retain the category reference. However, the deleted category will no longer be available to new addressees.
    • User-defined category text can be of mixed case. However, the first letter will always default to upper-case.
    • If you discover that different users have added user-defined categories that are similar to each other, and you would prefer that these categories were merged into a single category definition, you can perform a merge via the Merge Clinical Lists utility within MedicalDirector Maintenance.
    • When you add or delete a category, the change occurs immediately, and independently of the Save/Cancel buttons on this window.
