Inserting a Table into a Report or an AutoText

NOTES: This feature must be enabled by your administrator in order for you to use it.

Currently, only Epic integrations support table uploads.

Tables can contain dictated or typed text, or you can add merge fields to the cells. Merge fields can be pulled in from data integrations or DICOM measurements.

Best Practice: Always put either a fill-in field in the cell and/or a merge field. This allows for easy navigation through the table.

To insert a table into your report:

  1. Place your cursor where you would like the table to appear in your report or AutoText.

  2. Click the Table icon and hover your cursor over the grid to select your table size (or click Insert > Table, select the number of rows and columns for the table, and click OK).

The illustration below shows the table management tools available when you right-click anywhere in a table.

The following table describes the tools:
