Search Condition panel

Search condition can be set in the Search Condition panel.

As compared with the Patient page, the Search Condition panel on the Macro page has the Macro Column menu in addition to the Patient Column menu. It has also the Macro Value entry.

With this panel, you can search with combined keys of the Macro and Patient column.

To find the data in which the Last_Name of the Patient column is "inuzuka" and the Diagnosis of the Macro column is "verruca vulgaris",

1. Select the Last_Name from the Patient Column menu.
2. Type inuzuka in the Patient Value entry.
3. Click the Set button next to the Patient Value entry or press the Return key.
4. Select the Diagnosis from the Macro Column menu.
5. Type verruca vulgaris in the Macro Value entry.
6. Click the Set button next to the Macro Value entry or press the Return key.
7. Click the Find button to get the result.

Caution : The Patient and Macro Value entry itself has no effect on the search. It is used only for setting a pair of a column name with a key word in the Search Key entry. Be sure that tkDerm uses the value in the Search Key entry as the search key.

Caution : You cannot do an AND search with two or more different values of the same column. Even if you set two or more pairs of different values and the same column in the Search Key entry, only the last pair will be used as the search key.

Hint : You will get all the data stored if you click the Find button while the Search Key is empty.
