You normally access protocols either via an Automatic Pricing Procedure or by the pr'O'tocol option on the clinical prompt line.
Protocol filenames have a suffix .pro e.g. seizure.pro.
By default, when accessed via the 'O' option, the system will list all protocols files (by looking for *.pro in the protocols folder) on your machine. If you only have a few then this procedure is fine, however, as you start to use more and more then the list will get a little messy.
You can create one or more 'Index Files' to say group together related protocols, hide work in progress, hide protocols that should only be called via AP etc.
The procedure is identical to that you may be using for your definition files. See the FAQ Organise your Definition Files for the procedure. The top level index for protocols is: protocols/protocol.idx.
We do include a sample, Protocol.idx, rename this to
to protocol.idx and edit to suit.
Note: If you do not have a Customised Index (protocol.idx) the system will look for
one called 'Protocol.idx' (upper case 'P') and use that if it exists. Please make any changes to your own index file ('protocol.idx') as the sample one may/will be over-written by upgrades. |
