On many MIMS pages, specifically the Edit and Filter pages, the user has the
ability to type in a value or to select a predefined option from a menu. If the menu
contains variable data, such as a list of patient names, or a list of referring physician
names, it can be quite large. When this occurs, the web page can take a long time to
download, especially over a slow network connection. Additionally, depending on who
has access to these pages, an administrator may consider the presence of this information
a security risk and opt to eliminate the menu.
The administrator can limit the availability of the menus, or eliminate them altogether
by setting the Filter List Setting, which appears on the Settings page. A value of -1
(the default) means display all available options in a menu. A value of 0
means disable the menu entirely. Any other positive number instructs
MIMS
to display the list only when the number of items in a particular menu consist of fewer
than that number of entries. In this last case, lists that share a limited number of
values, such as study states, will have a pull down list available, but larger lists, such
as the list of patient names, will be eliminated. |
