Text Shortcuts
You can add to or modify the text shortcuts available in Communicare.
Only users belonging to a user group with the Reference Tables System Access Right have access to maintain the list of text shortcuts.
Text Shortcuts Maintenance
From the main menu, select .
The grid lists the shortcuts available on your system and the expanded text for the selected item below the grid. The text shortcut may begin with a "." character (recommended) or other identifier, such as "/" or ",". This is only to avoid unintentional usage when typing progress notes and letter items. Don't place text that is a shortcut identifier, such as '.hx', into the expanded text.
Valid Shortcuts
When adding or modifying an item, you must enter a valid shortcut that meets the following conditions:
- Up to 9 characters in length
- Contains no spaces
- Is not blank
- Is unique
