In order to support the use of HL7 fields in IHE messages, field templates must be configured. These templates can be applied for community Template rule types. However, HL7 field templates are not community-specific, and the same templates can be used by multiple communities.
Templates are configured in the IHE Message Template Configuration dialog box, accessed by selecting Medical | IHE | Field Templates.
System-generated default templates, which cannot be modified, are denoted by the System Template column. You can select the Hide System Message Templates option to filter out these templates from the list.
From this dialog box, you can modify the name of a template by selecting it and clicking the Rename button. Additionally, you can copy an existing template by selecting it and clicking the Copy button, then entering a name for the new copy.
See the following sections for information on configuring field templates:
