The Document Description field can be configured to provide a list of possible descriptions.
To configure values for the Document Description field:
- Open the Epic FOS XML configuration file (typically EPICFOSCONFIG.xml).
- Add the epicdescription setting to the appropriate DocType element.
-
Specify the default document description values in the following format:
epicdescription="description 1;description 2;description 3"
-
For multiple values, ensure each value is separated by a semicolon.
<DocType name="PID Patient ID" bitmap="C:\FOS\images\drvLicButton.jpg" required="false" displayname="Driver's License" displayscanner="Scan ID" scanner="FUJITSU fi-7260" epicdescription="Driver's License;ID Card;Other ID" ></DocType> -
For single values, no semicolon is needed.
<DocType name="PID Patient ID" bitmap="C:\FOS\images\drvLicButton.jpg" required="false" displayname="Driver's License" displayscanner="Scan ID" scanner="FUJITSU fi-7260" epicdescription="Driver's License" ></DocType>Note:If you set epicdescription="none", users will not be prompted to enter a document description. See Disabling Document Descriptions.

- Repeat for each scan button as needed.
- Save the Epic FOS XML configuration file.
