The applications of FreeMedForms comes with a templates manager. These models can be prioritized and stored in a personnal database.
The example of FreeDiams shows their usefulness. For example you can create categories and add protocolized prescriptions (including multiple medications).
Templates manager in FreeDiams
The template manager is accessible from the menu Templates/Templates. The manager appears then. You can move the manager right, left or outside the application window.
You can lock the manager with the 'lock' icon on the bottom bar manager.
Manager is locked - Click to unlock
Manager is unlocked - click to lock
When the manager is locked, the user can get templates and move them to the adequate plugins, but the user can not move categories / templates within the manager, or delete or modify. Use locking when editing templates is completed to ensure a better functioning of the manager.
Each plugin allowing the use of templates has an action "Create Template".
Create a template
You must first create the document in the plugin and then ask him to create a new template clicking this icon. In the example of FreeDiams, enter a full prescription then click the icon.
A dialog appears. Fill the template's name, the category in which it will be stored, and its abstract.
Creating a template in \ freediams
You can, where possible, directly print the contents of several templates simultaneously.
Each plugin has its own printing options. For example, FreeDiams offers when you select several templates to print, the print is set in a unique document or separately.
To do this, select the print models (the Ctrl+left-click key lets you select several templates) and click the templates manager print icon or select Print from the contextual menu.
To activate a template in a plugin, grab with the mouse the wanted templates and drop them in the plugin window. In the example of FreeDiams, drop templates in view of the prescription.
You can change your hierarchy of categories using the technique of drag and drop moving templates and/or categories. To do this, grab with the mouse the item to move, without releasing the mouse move the item to the desired point, then release the mouse button.
You can move an entire section of the tree or an item at a time.
Select the template or category to modify, right-click or click the edit icon. The dialogue is similar to that of creation.
The content is different from the abstract. The content represents informations that the plugin will use to reconstruct the document stored in the template. You can view the contents of the template but not edit it by hand.
Select the item, right-click Edit and then finally click on 'View Content'.
The templates manager uses its own preferences.
Open the Preferences dialog and select Templates.
