Site Specific Reserved Words

There may be occasion where you want to have one definition files you share between sites and want to include specific details e.g. e-mail, out or hours number, regular surgeon. These details may vary between site. You can now use &siteX where x is between 1 and 9. These are set via the lookup table option in parameters.


AP and Web Documents

If you set ^22=filename.html then your web browser will be called to display the filename. By default the system will add http://your-server-name/ to the file, you can set Web_Documents in params.txt to alter the default location.

Note: This will call lynx on character based screens and you may find the screen 'messy', this is cosmetic and will sort it's self out on the next refresh.


AP Accept Default

The default answer when pricing work via AP can be set via an entry in params.txt (AP_Default_Accept), if this is set to YES then the default will be 'Accept' otherwise it will be 'Yes'. PDSA sites will automatically default to Accept.
