<h3>Supporting links</h3>
<p><strong>These are special links used most frequently in Scheduler.</strong> From here, you can have easy and fast access to printing lists, finding the location of patients and other functionalities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Search for patient</h3>
<p><strong>This is the search bar for patients.</strong> Type the name of the patient or click on the arrow at the end of the bar to have the full list of available patients.</p>
<p>If you have a license of MedITEX IVF, you can open the selected patient right from Scheduler in IVF by clicking on the IVF button on the left.</p>
<p>You can also create a new appointment for the searched patient or view a list of future and past appointments clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the search bar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Waiting room</h3>
<p><strong>This is where patients in the waiting room are displayed.</strong> In this section, you have information of resources allocated to this patient, status and the elapsed time since the patient has arrived.</p>
<p>This section will also have a tab for internal communication called <strong>Day info</strong>. If there is any kind of warnings or notifications that all staff members must know, it is possible to spread this information here.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Resource, view and calendar</h3>
<p>This section provides extended functionalities for the schedule of the clinic. Here, you can change the format of visualization, sort by certain resources and navigate between days with the help of the calendar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Schedule</h3>
<p><strong>The schedule is the main section of MedITEX Scheduler.</strong> Here you can view all appointments.</p>
<p>Each employee can set their preferred visualization method, so the next time they log in, their preferences will be kept the same.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Appointment editor</h3>
<p><strong>The appointment editor is only displayed when creating a new appointment or by double-clicking an appointment in the schedule</strong>. This second option can be altered in the settings menu, so instead of the appointment editor, a list of all appointments from the selected patient will open.</p>
<p>This editor lets you create, edit, copy and save appointments.</p>

<h2><span id="Resource_administration_.E2.80.93_tab_sheet_.E2.80.9EResources.E2.80.9C" class="mw-headline">Resources</span></h2>
<p><span class="mw-headline">MedITEX Scheduler was developed around resources. Resources can be split into three distinct categories:</span><strong><span class="mw-headline"> person, room and object.</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="mw-headline"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Person</strong></span> is the category for the personnel working with patients. That can be: embryologists, assistants, doctors, etc.</span></li>
<li><span class="mw-headline"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Room</span></strong> are facilities in which patients can be allocated. For instance: operation room, labor room, consultation room, etc.</span></li>
<li><span class="mw-headline"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Object</span></strong> are equipments. If it is a big device, like an X-ray machine, it will also be linked to a room. But it could also be smaller devices such as: ultrasound, incubator, etc.</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Managing </strong>these <strong>resources </strong>is the main goal of <strong>MedITEX Scheduler</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>MedITEX Scheduler</strong> creates appointments for selected resources with starting and finishing times. For instance, it is possible to know when a device is being used, when a room is occupied and when a doctor is consulting a patient. This helps you optimize processes and planning, but above all, it integrates with <strong>MedITEX IVF</strong> to give you the best possible results.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Managing Lists</h2>
<p><strong>Every list in MedITEX Scheduler<em> </em>has several important features:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Sort and filter</h3>
<p>Clicking on the arrow next to the column header, you can filter the  table  content by the information contained in that row. Therefore, only  the information that was checked will be displayed.</p>
<p>To sort the list ascending or  descending, simply click on the blue header of the desired column.</p>
<p><strong>For this example</strong>, the list is sorted ascending by <strong>Patient </strong>(red circle) and is filtered by Sex so it only shows female patients.</p>
<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="/images/ListSortFilterRed.png" alt="" width="554" height="364" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Hide/show columns</h3>
<p>Some lists have a special button on the left side of the header. This button allows you to hide and move columns.</p>
<p><strong>For this example</strong>, the column Patient was unchecked. So when you  compare it with the picture above, the whole column Patient is no longer  available.</p>
<p>To move columns around from this button, simply click and drag the  name of a column up and down. Two green arrows will help positioning the  column in place.</p>
<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0" width="282" height="266">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="/images/ListHideColumn.png" alt="http://wiki.meditex-software.com/images/fig59.png" width="560" height="362" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Arrange columns</h3>
<p>It is also possible to move columns around the list simply by clicking  and dragging. Two green arrows will help positioning the column in  place.</p>
<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="/images/ListMoveRed.png" alt="http://wiki.meditex-software.com/images/fig59.png" width="559" height="360" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Group</h3>
<p>It is also possible to group the content of lists in MedITEX Scheduler. In order to do that, simply drag a column to the dark blue area on the top of the list. It is also possible to group by more than one column.</p>
<p>To revert the list to its original form, simply drag the column back in place.</p>
<p><strong>For this example</strong>, the table was grouped by Treatment.</p>
<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>[[Image:ListSortGroupRed.png|none|740px|thumb|left|link=http://wiki.meditex-software.com/images/ListSortGroupRed.png]]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Persistance</h3>
<p>One of the biggest advantages of managing lists is that each one is saved individually for a user. So next time you log in, MedITEX Scheduler will display your lists just the way you left them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Navigation</h2>
<p>Some images and buttons throughtout this Wiki have links that, once clicked, will open another page with more information.</p>
<p>This links are identified by blue dots around images.</p>
