Optimizing use of the scanning module (keyboard shortcuts)

Integrated functions make it possible to complete the indexing process of scanned documents more quickly, without the need for a mouse.

Automatic detection of indexing information

The following three automatic detection functions speed up the indexing process: 

    • The use of optical character recognition (OCR) to extract certain information from the document upstream of the indexing process.
    • The presence of barcode labels generated from Omnimed to extract indexing information (patient, professional, category, etc.).
    • The use of scanning templates to identify document codes and provide clues to the OCR process.

⚠️ WARNING Automatic detection of index information may contain errors. It is essential to validate indexing information before filing a document.

Eliminating mouse use

Use the Tab key, Enter key, arrow keys and keyboard shortcuts (see below) to move between fields and save data. 

  • To move from one field to another, click on the Tab key. 
    To change the choice in a drop-down menu, use the up  ⬆  and down  ⬇ arrows.
  • To select a choice from a drop-down menu, click on the Enter key.

Category field

Enter the code directly or type the first letters of the category in the field. It is not necessary to use the drop-down list for category selection. Navigate through the results list with the ⬆ ⬇ arrows and select your choice by clicking on the Enter key.
