Defining Routing Rules Routing User Guide
WORM_REF
The network location of the jukebox platter where the image is stored (provided there
is a jukebox in the Imaging system).
Operators
The following operators can be used in routing rule conditions:
Operator Image property must…
= Match value in rule.
!= Not match value in rule.
< Be less than a numeric value in rule. For date/time values, this
operator can be used for “earlier than.”
> Be greater than a numeric value in rule. For date/time values, this
operator can be used for “later than.”
<= Be less than or equal to a numeric or date/time value in rule.
>= Be greater than or equal to a numeric or date/time value in rule.
Values
Values are the user-supplied part of a routing rule condition. Most values are text strings.
Values are typically enclosed in quotation marks ("). If a value contains both upper and
lowercase characters, or if it contains punctuation marks or spaces, quotation marks are
required.
Two types of wildcard characters can be used in routing rules: the asterisk (*) and the
question mark (?). The question mark allows one single character in a value to be “any
character.” The asterisk allows one or more characters to be “any character.”
The following examples demonstrate how wildcards can be used in text-based values:
PATIENT=“*CRAY*”
To meet this condition, the patient name for an image must contain the characters
CRAY . Any characters may precede or trail these characters. Names like CRAY ,
MCCRAY , and CRAYNE will meet this condition, but CREY will not.
PATIENT=“SMIT?”
To meet this condition, the patient name for an image must start with the characters
SMIT , after which exactly one character may follow. Names like SMITH and SMITT
will meet this condition, but SMITHSON will not.
PATIENT=“PETERS?N”
To meet this condition, the patient name for an image must start with the characters
PETERS, then contain one arbitrary character, then end with N. Names like
PETERSON and PETERSEN will match this comparison, but PETERSSEN will not.
