Warning:

It is essential to consider the level of an XR setting when making changes. System and Trust should not be altered without agreement from all stakeholders.

Level Description
XR (System) Changes made here will affect the entire Cris system across all connected trusts.
XRTR (Trust) Changes made here will override XR and affect the whole trust.
XRS (Site) Changes made here will override XRTR and affect the entire hospital / site.
XRT (Terminal) Changes made here will override XRS Setting and only apply to that terminal / workstation.

Note:

When you open the Cris Setup window, you will see that your terminal is highlighted in the directory tree. Therefore, if you change XR settings, they will be applied at Terminal level. If you want XR settings to apply across your Site, Trust, or System, select a higher level folder before making changes.

Tip:

  • Click Open Local XRT to show settings for your current terminal. Clicking Open Local XRT will highlight your terminal in the directory.

  • Click the Reset to Default button to return an XR setting to its default value.

  • Right-click a terminal to delete its XRT (Terminal) settings.

Tip:

Press the Esc key to exit a field without making a selection from an options list.
