ARCHIVED STUDIES

The studies that have been archived by PracticeBuilder are accessible from the archive studies page.  The page consists of a table of studies.  You can search the list using the same Filter features available on the worklist.  You can also sort the list using the same Sort features available on the worklist.

The left-most column of the archive table indicates the current location of the study.  If the image is of a disk disk.gif (988 bytes), it means the study is resident on a disk within the PracticeBuilder hierarchy, and is available for immediate access (opening, editing, etc.) 

An image of a tape in the first column of the study indicates the study is off-line, and needs to be retrieved before anyone can use it.  To retreive it, click on the tape icon.  The image will change to an icon indicating that retrieval is in process . When PracticeBuilder has retrieved the entire study from off-line media, the image will change to just the disk image and the study will be available from the worklist.

PracticeBuilder does not delete studies from the archive, but you can obsolete them, which removes them from all lists, essentially eliminating them from consideration as priors and prohibiting the manual retrieval from the archive.  Use the delete function, , to obsolete a study.  To obsolete multiple studies at one time, check the box on the far left of each entry and click the batch delete button at the top of the worklist.
