<\/p>\n
Currently, Additional Comments enable users to create personalized statements, outside of the generated findings and conclusions statements in the worksheets. The April 29 release will make it even easier for users to personalize the documentation of imaging reports, while allowing administrators to maintain control over the quality and consistency of the verbiage used.<\/p>\n
If you do nothing, after the April 29 release, all functionality will stay the same with regard to using or editing additional comments. However, with this new update, you will also be gaining some new tools!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 Change Additional Comment access to read and apply only.<\/h3>\n
Admin users will now have the ability to manage individual user access to Additional Comments, with the “Create additional comments” permission.<\/p>\n
This permission is enabled by default. To remove the ability for users to create or edit additional comments, you can remove the Create Additional Comments permission. Users without this permission\u00a0will still be able to use Additional Comments that are associated with the current study\u2019s reading group, but they will not be able to edit or add to the existing list.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Group Additional Comments by topic\/application.<\/h3>\n
Additional comment list items can now be grouped. These groups will be visible both in the Comments editor (shown below), and in the Additional Comments list when selecting an item to apply within the worksheet.<\/p>\n
