to the right of the text box, navigating your way through the
month/years and clicking on your chosen date.
The next item of information that is requested is the ‘Patient Type Description’. Here
you are presented with the following options:
Figure 15 – Options available when prompted for Patient Type Description
The list on the left shows the options available to you and the list on the right shows
the options that have been chosen to be part of the query.
TIP: Note that the above set up – available options on the left, chosen options on the
right – will also be the case for most non-date prompts in other reports – it is not just
specific to Patient Type.
It is also worth noting the search box at the bottom left of prompt screen (marked by
the ‘binoculars icon). It has no real purpose in this instance as the left hand list only
contains seven options but in other reports you could be faced with a long list of
options here (e.g. the Waiting Times Error Report where you are prompted for a
filename). You can use this search facility to home in on the particular file ID or
location code (part of the filename) to help you find the one that you are interested in.
When you are working with other reports you may find that the list on the left may
occasionally be empty when prompted for information. If you come across this then
simply click the
icon above the left-hand list and this should populate
the list with the appropriate information. If that doesn’t work then call ISD!!
