defining and adding new items,
adding new items from the list "QM assignment selection",
item cofiguration,
and deleting in the How to.

Tips for managing QM fields:

Access to settings and the possibility to modify the program should only be given to the MedITEX Administrator/Representative.
Try to avoid the frequent adding and removing of items in the column "QM assignment selection". Instead, try to create a logical system in which existing items can be modified in the column "QM assignment selection" (for example modifying of material and staff).
Update the QM settings regularly.
Deleting items in the column „QM assignment selection“ can be risky. Try to avoid this and instead only remove assigned items from the column “QM domain assignment” (right arrow between columns).
You do not have to define times in the settings. After pressing the QM fields in the program, you can determine a start and end time.
You do not have to define comments in the settings. After pressing the QM fields in the program, you can add a comment to all items.
Not matter if staff, material or free field: You can add staff and a list of values to any item. Combine material and staff in one entry.
