Accessing note text

Submitted by Guest on Sun, 04/08/2013 - 07:55

I have been asked to provide a mechanism to include the note text from a visit into a form.

The best mechanism I have come up with is:

  1. click on the selected note to get it to open for editing (or select it and then press Edit)
  2. Ctrl-A Ctrl-C to copy the note text, then Alt-C to cancel the edit
  3. then use a patient letter with a fill-in field, and Ctrl-V to paste in the note text

Is there a better way?

It would be neat if you could select the note, and then use Ctrl-C to copy it, but you can't.

As the table has row selection enabled, you can't highlight the text to copy it.

Javascript can't copy to the system clipboard for security reasons, so Ctrl-C isn't going to do what you want. A common workaround is to simulate a clipboard i.e. intercept Ctrl-C and copy the current content to an internal buffer, and paste on Ctrl-V.

Bit of work to do this for OpenVPMS tho.
