Drawings

The SOAPware Drawings section is designed to give an easy way of creating informational pictures, either for reference or to be given to a patient.

SOAPware comes with a large number of pre-made image templates that can be used as a starting point, or simply start with a blank document. Any of the existing templates may be edited or appended at any time.

Interface

Command buttons are located at the bottom of the Drawings window and have picture buttons that display helpful information when the mouse cursor hovers over them.

There is now a column that contains the name of the owner of the drawing.

Now documents have associated document demographics, accessible by clicking the top splitter bar of the chart section.

Also, by clicking the bottom splitter bar, the user can view a list of all drawings in the current chart.

To add a new drawing, enter the drawings section of the patient chart:

NOTE: The list of drawing templates comes from the available docuplates for drawings. To increase the number of drawings available, the user can download drawings from the online library or the user can create his/her own drawing docuplate.

SOAPware will ask the user to confirm that he/she wishes to remove the document. If the user is certain he/she wishes to remove the document, Click Yes, and the drawing will be removed.
