Hi everyone, Happy New Year. Had this request from an existing user; [quote]... can you insert an entire text field's (such as the "note") text into an .odt. At this stage, I am merging all the referring vet and patient details but an still cut and pasting the consultation text...[/quote] At the moment my understanding is that there is no function to grab a medical record item ("Notes") in this case for an open office template (thats what .odt refers to). I tried some things; [b]Failed attempt One[/b] [quote] I wondered if we could start by just getting the history items. a. I copied the .jrxml template that is used to print a medical history to a new file. b. I created a new template using this copy. c. I test printed the doc. It contained the patient and client data OK but the history items were limited to a single line referring the form itself. [/quote] [b]Non Ideal Work around[/b] [quote] Use the existing history report print out and customise it to look like a referral letter. This means every history you print will look like a referral letter. ie. a. Create a backup copy of the file "patientClinicalEvent.jrxml" (or the like). b. Edit the existing file in iReport. Now you can limit to date in the Summary view and print from there. [/quote] I don't think these are good solutions. I'm sure Tony knows a better way to reference patient medical records from within the templates. Cheers, Matt
