Worklists
Worklists show appropriate events and information to each type of user. Choose the right worklist layout to help users prioritise and process events. Create Filter Profiles to switch between different sites, modalities, or type of event.

Use XR settings to select columns (override the default) for each worklist.
- Click Tables Setup.
- Select System > XR Settings.
- Filter the list by entering "column" in the Filter field.
- Click to highlight a worklist.
- Double-click the Value field.
- Select all the columns you require.
- Click the OK button.
- Click the Save Changes button.
- Click the Refresh Table button.
You can use the Up and Down buttons to arrange the order in which columns appear in the worklist.
It is essential to consider the level of an XR setting when making changes. System and Trust should not be altered without agreement from all stakeholders.
Level | Description |
---|---|
XR (System) | Changes made here will affect the entire Cris system across all connected trusts. |
XRTR (Trust) | Changes made here will override XR and affect the whole trust. |
XRS (Site) | Changes made here will override XRTR and affect the entire hospital / site. |
XRT (Terminal) | Changes made here will override XRS Setting and only apply to that terminal / workstation. |
Note:
When you open the Cris Setup window, you will see that your terminal is highlighted in the directory tree. Therefore, if you change XR settings, they will be applied at Terminal level. If you want XR settings to apply across your Site, Trust, or System, select a higher level folder before making changes.
Note:
Users with the CHANGE_COLUMNS permission can change which columns they see. Their choice is saved as a user preference.
Tip:
If your search doesn't return results, try selecting the Setting or Description tickbox. This will search the selected column.

These settings allow people to add columns, filter columns, and create filter profiles.
