To prevent users from manually typing values into the Document Description field:
- Open the Epic FOS XML configuration file (typically EPICFOSCONFIG.xml).
-
Add the epicdescnoedit="true" setting to the DocType element for the appropriate scan button. See the following example:
<DocType name="PID Patient ID" bitmap="C:\FOS\images\drvLicButton.jpg" required="false" displayname="Patient ID" displayscanner="Scan ID" scanner="FUJITSU fi-7260" epicdescription="Driver's License;ID Card;Other ID" epicdescnoedit="true" ></DocType> -
Make sure the epicdescription attribute is configured for the same scan button. Otherwise, the Document Description field will be available, but users will be unable to enter or select a document description.
Note:
If the epicdescription setting has only one value, then the value will be automatically selected in the Document Description field, and the field will be read-only. If only a single Document Type is available for import, then the Document Information dialog box is not displayed at all.
- Repeat for each scan button as needed.
- Save the Epic FOS XML configuration file.
