How it works:

1. Access Automation Settings: Navigate to EMS Setup > Endpoint Configuration and select the "Automation" tab.
   
2. Configure Status Update: Use the "Upon successful export, Change the Incident Status to:" dropdown to select the desired target status.

2. Automatic Processing: When export to the configured endpoint succeeds, system automatically updates incident status
   
3. Audit Trail Creation: System creates two audit log entries:
   
1. "Automated Exported Record" event documenting successful export
   
2. "Status Change" event documenting the status transition with from/to details
   

1. Cascade Triggering: New status automatically triggers evaluation of other endpoints that match the updated status criteria
   
2. Workflow Continuation: Process continues through configured endpoint chain, allowing multi-stage automated workflows

10. Custom Value - Sort Orders

This enhancement allows for prioritized organization of custom values according to specific workflow requirements, improving user experience and data entry efficiency. Introducing customizable sort ordering for values in custom questions, giving system administrators complete control over how dropdown options are displayed to end users.

How it works:

1. Access Configuration: Navigate to Custom Elements and when adding or editing a custom question that is Text/String Data Type, enable the Dropdown Field toggle.
   
2. Set Sort Values: Enter numeric values in the "Sort Order" field for each custom value (optional - defaults to 0 if left empty)
3. Use Auto-Numbering: Click the "+" button to automatically assign the next sequential number based on the highest existing value.
   

4. Validation Process: System validates numeric input and prevents non-numeric entries
5. Apply Sorting: Custom values display to end users in ascending numerical order based on Sort Order values
   

6. Handle Duplicates: Items with identical sort order values appear consecutively using existing sort logic

8. Universal Display: Sort order applies consistently across all locations where custom questions appear (reports, modals, sections, groups)

11. Vendor Directory

Streamlining the Vendor Directory setup interface by removing non-functional fields that serve no purpose within ePCR operations. This cleanup eliminates confusion and simplifies the vendor configuration process by focusing only on fields that are actively used by the system.

How it works:

1. Streamlined Setup Interface: Access Vendor Directory setup to see the cleaned interface with only functional fields displayed
2. Reduced Configuration Complexity: Configure vendors without unnecessary fields that previously caused confusion
3. Focused Data Entry: Enter only relevant vendor information that is actually used by ePCR operations
4. Improved User Experience: Navigate a cleaner, more intuitive vendor setup process
5. Maintained Functionality: All existing ePCR vendor-related functions continue to work normally with the remaining functional fields
   

12. Print Reports

Introducing enhanced logo management capabilities that provide users with greater flexibility in controlling header elements for EMS forms. This enhancement addresses layout issues by adding a "None" option alongside existing logo configuration choices, eliminating the need to create entirely new forms when logo removal is required.

How it works:

1. Access Logo Options: Navigate to EMS Setup > Form and locate the header/logo configuration section
2. Select "None" Option: Choose "None" from the expanded options list (Logo+Text, Header as Image, None)
   

1. Save Configuration: Save the form settings to remove existing title and uploaded image elements
2. Automatic Fallback: When "None" is selected and no header information is defined, system automatically displays call information and customer logo from Admin > Agency Setup on PDF first page
   

1. Clean Output: Generate PDF reports with streamlined header layout without custom logos or titles
2. Easy Restoration: Switch back to Logo+Text or Header as Image options at any time to restore custom branding
   

13. Custom Element - Memo Field

Introducing the ability to toggle between memo and regular string field presentation for existing custom questions with string data type. This enhancement provides flexibility in form layout optimization without affecting data storage or existing field configurations, allowing users to adapt field display based on space requirements and user experience needs.

How it works:

1. Access Custom Element Settings: Navigate to existing custom questions with string data type configuration
2. Locate Memo Toggle: Find the memo option toggle control in the custom element setup interface
3. Switch Display Mode: Toggle between memo (multi-line text box) and regular string field presentation
   

1. Save Configuration: Apply changes to update how the field appears in reports and forms
2. Verify Display: Review the updated field presentation in reports while maintaining all existing data
3. Optimize Layout: Use memo format for fields requiring more text space or regular format for compact display
4. Maintain Functionality: Continue normal report printing and XML export operations without any impact from display changes

14. Handtevy - Import Mapping

Enhancing the Handtevy integration with improved mapping capabilities that extend beyond hardcoded configurations to include customer-specific EMS setup configurations. This enhancement ensures comprehensive data import by implementing a robust fallback system that captures all relevant medications and treatments for each agency's unique configuration requirements.

How it works:

1. Primary Mapping Check: System first attempts to match medication and treatment codes using the existing hardcoded configuration
2. Fallback Mapping: If codes are not found in hardcoded list, system automatically checks customer-specific EMS setup configuration
3. Successful Mapping: Located codes are properly mapped and imported into the system regardless of mapping source
4. Complete Data Import: All selected medications and treatments from Handtevy now appear correctly in reports
5. Patient Type Validation: System ensures accurate import for both adult and pediatric patient scenarios
6. Error Prevention: Enhanced logic prevents data loss that previously occurred with unmapped codes
7. Seamless Integration: Import process continues to work normally while providing more comprehensive data capture
   

15. Weight display field

Enhancing the weight field user experience by implementing dual display fields for both kilograms and pounds with automatic bidirectional conversion. This enhancement replaces the toggle-based weight component with a more intuitive dual-field approach that eliminates the need for providers to click buttons or switch between units, while maintaining NEMSIS compliance and workflow integrity.

How it works:

1. Dual Field Presentation: Weight field appears as two stacked input fields (KG and pounds) on forms
2. Bidirectional Conversion: Enter value in either field to automatically calculate and populate the corresponding unit
   

1. NEMSIS Validation: System validates only the KG field against NEMSIS rules (0.1 kg minimum, 999.9 kg maximum)
2. Workflow Processing: All workflow rules (error, warning, default, hide) operate exclusively on the KG field value
3. Hide Rule Application: Hide rules affect both KG and pounds fields simultaneously as a unified control
4. Export Handling: Data export outputs KG values only while maintaining NEMSIS compliance
5. PDF Generation: PDF reports display weight in combined kg/lbs format for comprehensive documentation
6. Validation Feedback: Error messages and validation alerts reference the KG field while maintaining user-friendly dual display
   

16. Patient Activity and Pulse Rhythm Management

Expanding Field Customization capabilities with comprehensive Patient Activity management and Pulse Rhythm sort order control. This enhancement adds Patient Activity to Field Customization with full value display and custom value creation through EMS Setup, while introducing Pulse Rhythm (eVitals.13) sort order capabilities.

How it works:

1. Access Field Customization: Navigate to Field Customization interface to locate Patient Activity and Pulse (HR) Rhythm sections
   

1. Patient Activity Management: View all available Patient Activity values and activate those meeting ICD10 pattern constraints.
2. Create Custom Values: Use EMS Setup > Custom Elements to add agency-specific Patient Activity values with pattern validation.
   

1. Pulse Rhythm Organization: Configure sort order for the three pulse rhythm values based on clinical workflow preferences.
   

1. Activation Control: Manage which values are available for use in forms and reports across both field types
2. Save Configuration: Apply all customization settings for consistent display and functionality across the system
