When a user opens a study, the data downloads from the server to the workstation. On a slow or busy network, this can impede performance. Users can set up their workstation to download the selected studies from the MIMS server in the background, so they reside on the local workstation before you open the study. 

A workstation automatically downloads the studies defined on the user's prefetch worklist.  To define a prefetch worklist, create a filter identifying what you want downloaded to your workstation.  Scroll to the bottom of the worklist to save the filter, select Prefetch from the options under Save List As, and click Save. At any time you can open studies that have not been prefetched yet by selecting them from the worklist.

To create a workstation prefetch worklist, create a filter listing the studies you want downloaded to the workstation, and save it under any name.  Click on the Other Lists tab, find the new filter on the list, and click the X under the Forward column.  In the popup window, select the workstation from the list of configured workstation devices, set the Scheduling value to Immediate, check the Enabled box, and click on Configure.

After creating the prefetch worklist, you still need to enable prefetch.  This is a Viewer function.  Refer to the Viewer's documentation for directions on enabling it.
