RTF or WORD Devices are used for Batch Printing distribution or a file drop interface. An RTF interface type uses the built in ChartNet word processor to create a generic RTF file. If the interface type is WORD, it uses Microsoft Word to create the file.
To use the file wizard, go to System Setup, put in the site code and select Devices. Click on New and at the prompt to use the file wizard, select Yes.
Select either RTF-WIZARD or WORD-WIZARD and click on OK.
Under the Main Tab:
1. DEVICE CODE: Define a unique code for the device, i.e., RTF_HIM.
2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION: Define a description for the device, i.e., RTF REPORTS TO HIM
3. OUTPUT LOCATION: If the output location is Host, the documents will distribute to your local machine. This is convenient for testing/troubleshooting documents. Host distribution does not use MTDISTRIB. If this device is being used to distribute to your customer's EHR, the output location needs to be Remote. If the output location is Client, the documents will distribute to the host ChartNet server. This is convenient for testing/troubleshooting documents that need to distribute using MTDISTRIB.
4. ALLOW WEB PORTAL USERS TO DISTRIBUTE TO THIS DEVICE: Selecting this option will allow web portal users to select this device for distribution.
5. THIS DEVICE WILL CHANGE THE REPORT'S STATUS TO "DELIVERED": If the output is Remote, you would normally select this option.
NOTE: The Wizard will populate the Device Type under the Main tab.
Under the Interface Tab:
1. INCLUDE FORM'S PAGE HEADERS: Selecting this option will include the configured form header.
2. INCLUDE FORM'S PAGE FOOTERS: Selecting this option will include the configured form footer.
3. EMBED IMAGES IN RTF FILES: Selecting this option will embed any images that are on the form.
NOTE: The Wizard will populate the Interface Type, Output Path, File Name Format and Extension. These can be changed as needed.
