What are User Defined Fields (UDFs)?

Answer / Solution


User Defined Fields

Administrators in the InfraWare 360 platform can establish User Defined Fields (UDFs) to handle data not already defined by the platform.  UDFs can be used to dynamically insert text into a template, or to help facilitate the exchange of information for an inbound or outbound interface.

UDFs can be created at many levels in the IMC, including:

  • Account
  • Facility
  • User
  • Author
  • Transcriptionist
  • Document Type
  • ADT Entry

Below is an example on entering UDFs at the Facility level.  To create or change a Facility UDF, login to the InfraWare Management Console (IMC), click the Administration tab and then click the Facility sub-tab, then click the name of the Facility you want to change.   In the Advanced View, scroll down to the General section and Manage link next to the UDF heading.

Note: The Facility Settings page can be viewed in either a Basic view or an Advanced view (with more detailed options).  The link to Manage UDFs only displays on the Advanced view.

General Facility Settings

  • Click on Manage

  • Enter the appropriate data for each UDF field you would like to use.
  • Click Save Changes
