Page elements

This page list the various page elements found in the different page sections on the different pages in the system.

Toolbar : Usually positioned at the page’s top, the toolbar offers rapid access to frequently used operations. All toolbar buttons have an icon and a label. The icon graphically signifies the button’s function, simplifying the user’s understanding of the action triggered by clicking the button. When the page is minimised, the button label is concealed, but icons remain visible at all times.

BLUE RIBBON
Blue ribbon : Situated at the upper part of the page, directly beneath the toolbar. It is characterized by its blue background and extends across the entire width of the page. On the Consultation page, the Blue ribbon includes buttons that switch the view displayed in the Interactive space section. It also accommodates a flag switch that can make the consultation stand out in the homepage. For more details on a setting that determines whether or not the flag switch is displayed in the Blue ribbon, please click here. The blue ribbon incorporates the following types of inputs :

Text inputs : These rely on keyboard typing to filter the table. By default, the search action is initiated by typing while the input is focused. However, a setting exists to disable keypress searching, allowing searches only when the enter key is pressed. For more details on this keypress search disabling setting in an OMP, click here.
Select inputs : These are activated by clicking the input, revealing a fixed set of options. The value for this input is chosen by clicking the desired option from the visible list.
Hybrid inputs : These inputs utilize both typing and selecting. Typing in these inputs filters the dropdown options. Once the desired dropdown option is located, the value for that input is selected by choosing one of the dropdowns. This selection is finalized by either pressing enter on the keyboard or using the mouse to click.

INTERACTIVE SPACE
Interactive space : The central feature of the majority of pages, with only a handful of pages lacking this key component. It serves as a dynamic platform where users interact with a variety of functions specific to each page. Depending on the page, it might include elements such as tables, forms, views, buttons, and data displays. This adaptable and user-focused area is engineered to enable smooth interaction, positioning it as the core of the user’s engagement with any page that has this section.

TABLE
Table : This section, situated just beneath the Blue ribbon on the right, is designed to display objects that correspond to the values entered in the Blue ribbon inputs. If no values are entered in the Blue ribbon inputs, the default setting populates the table with all objects from the database. However, there is a setting that can be modified so that an empty blue ribbon leads to an empty table. For more information on this setting, please click here.
With each keypress or change in the Blue ribbon search input, the table adjusts to list only the objects that align with the Blue ribbon inputs. Depending on the page, the system attempts to match certain properties for each object to determine which ones remain in the table. The properties searched for vary by object type and typically include the object’s name and number. Other objects may also match additional properties (e.g. in the Patients OMP, the blue ribbon inputs also filter by medical aid membership numbers).
At any given time, one object in the table may be highlighted in blue and bolded to indicate focus.
