Introduction: The list of Group Types is fixed. These are just the names of different lists required by the application. The user can define the elements of each list under groups. In PrognoCIS, group types are classified as System and Non-System types. Field Description: System types: These are those lists whose elements are predefined when the Database is created. viz. Drug Class, Vendor Types, Medic Types etc. Non-System types: These are those lists whose element definition is within the control of the User. Type: This is an alphanumeric code (length 2) used internally by the system to classify the data. The user cannot modify this code. The link invokes the group definition screen. If the user has been assigned role ‘sysgrp’ only then will the system groups have the link enabled. Name: The names are predefined. However the user can change them. This field is mandatory and cannot be blank. Code Length: While defining the elements under Groups, if the user desires to follow codes, define the applicable code length (1 – 10 characters alphanumeric). If Code is Not required keep the code length as zero. e.g. Department Names may be coded, Doctors Specialty might not follow codes. Hierarchy: Check this box to indicate that groups need to be arranged and displayed in an hierarchial order for selection. Action Buttons: RESET button: Click on the RESET button to reset unsaved changes made to the Account Type record. SAVE button: Click on the SAVE button to save the details on the Group Types screen.
