Definition

Here are some important pieces of the document type dictionary:

• Manifestation - The manifestation in the General Properties menu defines the type of document.
  

HTML = v10 Structured Note
NOTEFORM = v11 Notes
RTF = Document
TIF = Scanned Documents

• Display Note Icon on Schedule - This should be clicked for documents that will be created relating to visits. Scanned documents usually are not checked but HTML, NOTEFORM, and RTF usually would be.
• Mnemonic - This is not required, but it used as a secondary identifier. This does not appear in the product and unless you have another use for it, the recommendation would be to make this the same as the code.
• Note Properties - The Note properties determines the where the Notes are found.
• Is Clinical Summary - Applies to v10 and v11 Note and allows a note output to be considered as a clinical summary
