Copying content from previous reportsTopic number: 1425414958139

You can reuse the content of a report created previously by copying it to your active report.

To copy content from previous reports
  1. Start a reporting task.

    Reporting tasks include reading, sign off, review, correction, and transcription.

    The Text area opens, displaying report, study, and (if applicable) scanned order information.

  2. Select the comparison study that has the report to copy content from.
  3. To copy a full report, click View letter, View all sections, or View conclusion. Select Copy to active report. Copy to active report

    If comparison studies contain an external report, this step might not be applicable.

    Tip:

    Where applicable, you can also copy content from a DICOM SR pane by selecting and copying text from that pane (Ctrl + C), then pasting it into the appropriate report section (Ctrl + V). To view DICOM SR panes, you might have to switch to another layout by selecting Text area > Switch layout.

    The report content is pasted into the active study report.

    If the comparison study report contains sections that do not apply to the active study report, their contents are not copied.

    The database fields are copied and updated accordingly. The values of fill-in fields are copied into the active report. The autofill sections in the active report are not overwritten and contain the content defined by your administrator.

    For multiple procedure reports:

    • If the previous report repeats a section for each study, its content is copied into a single section of the active report.
    • If the active report is a multiple procedure with repeating report section and the previous report contains this section only once, its contents are copied to the first section in the active report.

  4. To copy some text from a report:
    1. Select the text, then press Ctrl + C or click Copy. Copy text from report

      If you selected View all sections or View conclusion, you can alternatively copy by right-clicking and selecting Copy.

    2. Switch to the active report, click in the location to paste the text, and press Ctrl + V, right-click and select Paste, or click Paste on the toolbar. Paste

    Tip:

    You can also copy text from a report to an addendum during a reading or a signoff task.
  5. Modify the copied content as needed, and finish the reporting.
