Tip – Sort Order Increments

When configuring Drop Down Fields, it's recommended to use sort order increments of 5 or 10. This allows for easier management and updates in the future.

For example, if you have "Medication - Adverse Drug Reaction" at Sort Order 75 and "Medication - Pharmaceutical Error" at Sort Order 80, and you need to add a new option "Medication - Missed Meds", you can easily insert it with a Sort Order of 78.

By using increments, you avoid the time-consuming process of re-sorting all existing records to maintain alphabetical order.

Discussion – Parent and Child Nodes
Consider parent nodes as a folder and child nodes as the incident type. We open a folder (parent node) to select our desired incident category (child node).

i)    Parent Node - is a primary category that contains one or more subcategories, serving as an organisational point for related items

ii)   Child Node - is a subcategory that falls under a parent node, representing a more specific classification within the broader parent category.

Tip – Setting by Position
When possible, we recommend using the Position option as this avoids having to manually update your assignees when staff changes occur.
