Quick Action Buttons

The Quick Action Buttons Code Table is used to setup buttons that can be accessed from the header on any page of the PCR and used to quickly document comments and Actions that will be added to the Activity Log on Page 8.

Configuration: Service > Code Tables > Quick Action Buttons

Watch this video to learn how to setup Quick Action Buttons and how to use them when documenting a PCR.

The Quick Action Buttons are organized into pages of buttons. Each page can have up to 20 buttons. You can create as many pages as you want. Select an existing page from the list to edit the page name or any of its buttons, or click ADD to create a new page.

When creating a new page, enter the Name and click SAVE. The new page will be added to the list. Select the new page or an existing page and click Edit Buttons to add or edit buttons.

The button editor window will open where you can see all the existing buttons and the placeholders where you can add new buttons. Each button will display the configured title, and if entered, sub-title. If the button is a Procedure, it will display the Procedure category and name in parenthesis.

The buttons will show up in the same row and column space they are configured. Empty placeholder tiles will be a blank space on the page. Click on an existing button to edit the details or delete it. Make sure to click SAVE BUTTON to save any changes you make to an existing button.

Add new button

There are two ways you can add new buttons to the page. Both options will accomplish the same goal of creating a new Quick Action Button on the selected page, but the first option will require you select the specific row and column for the button, while the second option will automatically set the row and column position.

Click CREATE NEW BUTTON to add a new button. The Edit Button configuration options will display.

  • Row: Select the row number where you wish to place the button.

  • Column: Select the column number where you wish to place the button.
