Add study to a folder


 

Adding a study to a folder is done using the export function.  If the forward/export function is unavailable on your worklist, you do not have exporting privileges, and cannot add studies to folders.  The steps are as follows:

  1. From the worklist, find the study you want to add to a folder, and select the forward/export button, .  If you want to add multiple studies to a single folder at one time, check the box to the far left of each study, and select the batch forward/export button, , at the top of the worklist. The export page appears. 

  2. At the bottom of the export table, check the box labeled Add to Folder

  3. If you have administrator privileges, select the user ID of the folder owner.  

  4. Select the name of an existing folder from the menu, or enter the name of a new folder. 

  5. Select Make a Copy to create an independent study in the folder, or Make a Shortcut to create a shortcut to the actual study. A shortcut is a link to the actual study and takes up no additional disk space.  Changes make to either the original or the shortcut are applied to the other.  A copy is an independent instance of the data, requiring additional disk space.  After adding the study to the folder, you can edit the data, such as sanitizing the patient demographics, without affecting the original.

  6. Click Forward to complete the operation.

If you are making an independent copy, the process may require extra time. When complete, you will be automatically returned to the worklist.
