The documentation section is then described including; printing application manuals, menus, procedures, data definitions, DPM’s and DPM cross-references.

The CD goes on to cover the file structure in NPR. You learn all about DPM’s, parent segments, child segments and subscripts. You are shown how to read MEDITECH’s data definitions so that you will be able to select the data you need for a report.

The CD then covers the report writer itself in detail, describing the function of each section of the report writer. A sample report is created which uses the NPR.REP DPM. This report provides a listing of all NPR reports that have been written for a particular application. The output lists the name of the NPR report, the user who created the report and the DPM it was written upon. This sample is used to discuss each of the three pages in the Report Writer. You learn how to create header and trailer sections on the report picture, how to manipulate the sorting of the data, how to set up selection criteria, how to identify the data elements and place them on the report and how to create custom fields.
