1Ć31 Learning About the System
Using Menu Codes
Use menu codes to quickly select menu options from the Main Menu on the Menu
screen. To use menu codes, you press the numeric key for the menu option instead
of using arrow keys and pressing Enter.
NOTE: For menu codes to work properly, begin only when the cursor is in the
Main Menu.
Menu codes appear in the left margin, opposite procedures that require you to
select menu options. The following example, which describes the steps to stop the
system, shows how menu codes appear in the manual:
1. Stop the system from the Main menu:
a. Select 2 Maintenance and press Enter .
b. Select 7 Stop and press Enter .
For this example, at the Main Menu you press 2 and then on the numeric keypad
you press 7 to use menu codes.
NOTE: During some procedures, you may need to move to the Main Menu before
you can press the menu code. The menu code for these procedures contains the
phrase
(from the Main Menu) to remind you to move to the Main Menu before
pressing the menu code.
System Busy Icon
The system displays a clock icon to let you know the system is busy executing the
last given command. For example, the clock icon may appear when the system
searches the database to recall patient data from the search criteria screen. Once the
patient records appear on the screen, the clock icon disappears from view.
Understanding the System Beeps
The system emits three types of beeps:
S short beep when you press the wrong key or type too many characters in a field
S long beep when the system detects a system error
S recurring short beeps when the system requires user action
