Edit with Standard Advanced Field Options

Advanced options and tools tips are available for data entry (edit), check box, button, active text, radio button, and data sheet fields. In NextGen® Enterprise EHR, the tooltip appears when you point to a field or to a particular row on a data sheet. For data sheets, the tooltip references the columns in the data sheet. The actions are enabled only for a saved data entry field on its Data Entry Properties window. You cannot use these actions on the Insert Data Entry window while you are creating a data entry field.

Select the Advanced tab on the Insert window or Properties window for the field.
Select the applicable options:
- To enable the data copy from one encounter to another, select the Copy Data Forward check box.
  All available information is entered into a new template when a new encounter is created. This action is performed on a field-by-field level.

For example, 1.0 becomes 1 and .1 becomes 0.1. This setting overrides the field property setting for the No Zero Decimals check box.
  
  If you set the preference to False, trailing zeroes are removed only if the No Zero Decimals check box is selected for a field. The No Zero Decimals check box is not available for data sheets.
