Building a Picklist (Created using V11.1.7)


Create a New Picklist

  • Click the "picklist" button (lower left)
  • Name the picklist and click "ok"

Helpful hint: This name should indicate what the picklist is for, in order to easily identify and attach the picklist to
a question in the Additional Information dictionary. For example when creating a picklist of diagnoses (e.g. PE, Hip Fracture)
for patients who are taking blood thinners, the picklist could be named "Blood Thinner Indications"

  • Ensure that the newly created picklist name is highlighted, then click "add entry"
  • Select items from the left pane individually, making sure to click "add" to move them to the right pane.
