Manage vetting filters

A filter is a single query which can be used to build a worklist. For example, modality or site.

  2. Click the required tab.
  3. Click the logo to return to the front page.

A filter can contain one or more items. You may wish to create filters for items that are commonly grouped together.

Note:

By default filters return events from the trust where they were created. To see events from all trusts, create an "All Trusts" filter, and use this filter when building worklists to be shared across the consortium.

Example:

To build a filter for "Assigned to Me" worklists (will only show events assigned to the logged-in user):

  • Enter a name: "Assigned to User".
  • Enter a description: "Show events assigned to the current logged-in user".
  • Select a field: "Assigned".
  • Select a value: "Logged in user".
  1. Select the Filters tab.
  2. Find the filter using the Search field.
  3. Click Delete

Note:

Worklists and filters are 'owned' by the person who creates them. An owner may edit / delete their own worklists.

  1. Select the Filters tab.
