WYSIWYG Editor Toolbar icons

Nn-tb-00-toolbar.png

Editing Tools

These tools perform the indicated functions in the customary manner.


Nn-tb-01.png

Print, Spell Check, SCAYT (Spell Check As You Type; needs one-time config).


Nn-tb-02.png

Undo, Redo
Search, Replace
Select All - equivalent to Ctrl+a; highlights all content in the note
Eraser - removes all formatting from any highlighted materials


Nn-tb-05.png

"Image" - intended to insert an image file, the code behind this tool is problematic; use the workaround described below.
Table - inserts a table with the ability to set the basic parameters
Horizontal line - inserts horizontal line
Insert special character - shows table of most of the usual alphanumeric, computer and Western European special characters
Page break - advance to next page, when printing.


Formatting Tools

These tools perform the indicated functions in the customary manner: highlight the text to be affected then click the icon.

Nn-tb-06.png

Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough
Sub/ Superscripts
Numbered/ Bulleted list
Increase/ decrease indent, block quote


Nn-tb-07.png

Alignment, styles, format, font, size

Program A Special Character Button

1. Open WYSIWYG editor

2. Click button "Add Buttons" to invoke "Add Custom Button" panel

Nn-tb-00-AddBtn.png




3. Enter html code in "Values" column

Nn-tb-08-enterSpecChar.png




Nn-tb-09-specKeyBtns.png
  • New buttons will be lined up along the top of the WYSIWYG editor between the "Space" button and the "Enter Key" icon
  • Their order is determined by the Order value in the Add Custom Button dialog, numbered from 0 (zero).
  • This function provides the same characters as the "Special Characters" toolbar button.
  • Buttons remain in the editor for use in any OpenEMR NationNote field.
  • Accepts html codes for special characters, or plain text.
  • "Value" = html code or text
html = ascii code with &# added to front. Doesn't handle Extended ASCII
plain text is limited to 10 chars.
  • "Display Name" = label text in the custom button.

Embed Image in NationNote

  • The embedded image function accessed from the toolbar icon does not perform as advertized. Use this workaround.

1. Obtain a graphic and upload it to OpenEMR client computer

2. Open the picture with any graphics application capable of copy/ paste operation

  • For MS Windows, Paint is suitable
  • For Linux (Ubuntu/ Mint etc), Pinta or the Gimp

3. Edit/ resize picture if desired

4. Copy/paste image from graphics editor directly into the WYSIWYG editor.


Share a NationNote Template

  • Templates can only be shared from "Available Categories" to the user who is logged in, not from the logged in user to

another user.


1. Log into OpenEMR

2. Open new encounter with any patient

3. Open a LBV form that has a NationNotes field in it

4. Click in the NN field to activate the WYSIWYG Editor

5. Click "Personalize" button to open an unnamed panel which has two Category text areas in its lower portion.

6. Click on each of the Available Categories to see the Components each one contains.

Delete a NationNotes field

A NationNotes field may be removed from a LBV form simply by changing its data type in the Edit Layout screen. This simply produces a different object on the LBV form, with the same label and parameters (except for size values) as the former NN field.

If the data type of the field is changed back to NationNotes then it may be reassigned to its former List (Context).

All Categories and Components that have been configured for all NationNotes Contexts are stored in the database table "customlists". They may be permenently deleted by removing them from that table. This is PERMANENT and irreversable so be sure you know it's what you want to do.


1. On Left Navigation Menu: Administration/ Other/ Database

2. In table list in left database window click link on table named "customlists"

3. In right hand window displaying the table, click tab "Browse"

Nn-16-customlists.png


  • Column, "cl_list_item_long" displays the user defined names of the list items.
  • Column, "cl_list_type" which explains the type of objects contained in the table.
2 = Context
3 = Template (aka Category)
4 = Sentence (aka Component)
6 = CustomButton


4. Click in left column checkboxes to select the desired list item(s) to delete

5. At bottom of table, click red X in line, "With all Selected:"


6. Click button "Yes" or "NO" when panel appears containing list items selected for deletion, asking "Do you really want to",
