Set up Alert Trigger

The Alert action triggers the display of a custom message window. You can create a static message or set up an expression to return a message value dynamically at run time using the Evaluate feature. For example, you can create an expression to display a message that shows the current patient's name, a field entry, or a true (1) or false (0) value. Follow the applicable steps in General Trigger Setup. To open the Alert window, select the Alert action. In the Caption box, enter the title you want to appear on the message window. To create a static message, enter the fixed message text in the Text box. To create a dynamic message, select the Evaluate check box. Note: If you do not select the Evaluate check box, the message displays the expression itself, not the value returned from the expression. Enter any fixed message text and an expression to return the message value and do one of the following: Enter the text and expression directly in the Text box. To display the Assign Field Value

Set up GET Template Notification Data Trigger

The Get Template Notification Data trigger can be used to store and/or display data sent from the Graphical Exam Tool (GET) when a user performs certain actions in NextGen® Enterprise EHR. For example, the trigger can be executed when a user selects an annotation on an active image, selects finding or action hyperlinks in the Findings Grid, or updates the patient's reason for visit. Note: This trigger is available only from a Template Notify event on a Medical Records template. Before you create this trigger, set up a text data entry field or variable on your template to hold the notification parameter. If you set up Template Popup options for a finding, procedure, or lab order in a GET profile, use this trigger together with a Template Pop-Up trigger. The Get Template Notification Data trigger pulls the name of the Popup template into the notification parameter field, and the Template Pop-Up trigger launches that template. Follow the applicable steps in General Trigger Setup. In the T

From the View menu, select Triggers. Select a specific field within the template.
