USING RELATED LISTS

Overview




What is this?
Why is it Important?
A "Related List" is a listing of other modules or objects that relate to the module record you're looking at. For example, when you are viewing a Patient Record within the Patient Module, you will also see all related items, or things associated with that one patient such as any attachments, any Encounters, etc. The Related List helps you navigate the record to see any related data that is placed underneath the main record fields.Understanding how modules and other items relate to each other is the key to understanding the power of an integrated CareTrax system and allows you to associate records that belong together to make your job easier.

1 Related Lists

Each record in Caretrax can be associated with a range of other related records. For example, a Contact record will be linked with corresponding records in the Notes, Activities, Potentials, Products, and Attachments modules. This ensures that data is connected and easily accessible across the CRM interface. These linked collections of records are called related lists. Although Caretrax provides pre-defined related lists, you can also add a custom related list to a record type. Not only does this allow you to customize your Caretrax interface to meet particular needs, but it also helps collect and display data collected from other sources.


2 Adding a related list

In addition to the Caretrax pre-defined related lists, you can also create new related list by choosing your own custom functions.  To simplify the development process, Deluge abstracts the entire database layer, you will have to only speak in terms of forms and fields, rather than more complex coding language. This expedites the coding process and allows even relatively inexperienced developers to create clean, intuitive custom functions. See also Deluge Scripts  and Functions .

To create a custom function

  1. Log in to Caretrax console and click Extensions.
  2. Select the extension you'd like to modify and click Edit.

  5. In the Add Related List Custom Function page, fill in the following details:
