Introduction


Drop Down Fields are a powerful tool within the ionMy solution that streamline data entry and task management. By providing users with a predefined list of options, these fields ensure data consistency, reduce errors, and enhance overall efficiency.

Benefits

Drop Down Fields within ionMy offers several key benefits:

  • Enhanced Data Integrity: Prevents incorrect or inconsistent data entry by limiting options to predefined values.

  • Improved Efficiency: Streamlines data entry processes, saving time and effort for users.

  • Increased Consistency: Ensures that data is entered uniformly across the organisation, facilitating analysis and reporting.

  • Enhanced User Experience: Simplifies data entry tasks, making it easier for users to navigate and complete forms.

  • Customisation: Drop Down Fields can be easily customised to match your organisation's specific requirements and workflows

Adding a Person Involved Type:

The Person Involved type is used to categorise individuals based on their relationship to a particular organisation, such as staff, client type(s), volunteers or other stakeholders.

  1. Follow steps 1-5 at the Creating Drop Down Field Values section

  2. Scroll down to Incidents / Injuries

  3. Click the + icon to view the available DDL or MSB field types.

  4. Click on Person Involved. (This may be named something different based on your custom label settings).

  5. The page will refresh and redirect you to the PI list page, displaying the list of PIs created in your system.

image-20241008-025834.png
  1. To add a new type, click on the Add New button located at the top right corner of your browser

image-20241008-025917.png
  1. A pop up box will appear

image-20241008-025946.png

  1. Check the Is Default checkbox if you want that PI to be selected automatically when creating a record

image-20241008-030010.png
  1. If the PI type is a Staff member you need to tick the Is Staff? Checkbox. This will ensure that the list of staff retained in your Our Workforce module appears for selection when creating staff related records.

  2. TPP types are captured in your Our Community module. If the PI type you are now creating is linked to a TPP then you need to select the TPP type from the ddl beside Default TPP Type. This will result in the relevant list of names retained in your Our Community module to be presented for selection when entering a record.

image-20241008-030055.png
  1. Enter the Name of the PI Type e.g. Staff, Volunteer etc in the name field

image-20241008-030114.png
  1. You can arrange the PI type list by entering your desired sort order. We tend to set Staff at the highest sort order and then the rest of the list by alphabetical order. However, it is up to you to decide the order in which your PI types will be listed.

image-20241008-030136.png

  1. Tick the Visible In Form Entry checkbox if you want this PI type to appear to frontline users when they are entering records via the Compliance Hub (refer to compliance hub manual for more details)

image-20241008-030156.png

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.

Panel

  1. If you want to risk rate your incident you need to first create risk groups (refer to Creating Risk Groups section)

image-20241008-030831.png
  1. If you want to link your category to another category, resulting in a Parent/Child category relationship, select the “parent” category from the Parent Box

image-20241008-030854.png

    Note: You can select multiple categories by ticking the checkboxes as shown in the above image

Panel

image-20241008-030919.png 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.

image-20241008-030959.png
Panel
bgColor#EAE6FF#FFFFFF
  1. To set a category as a default (meaning when adding a new record that category will be selected by default) then tick the Is Default Option?(tick for yes) checkbox.

image-20241008-031028.png
  1. If you wish to hide a particular category that is no longer required, tick the Is Hidden?(tick for yes) checkbox.

image-20241008-031134.png
  1. If you want this new category to be presented to frontline users for selection when entering records via the Compliance Hub, tick the Is Form Entry Option?(tick for yes) checkbox

image-20241008-031200.png

Note: Please refer to the Compliance Hub Training Manual for further details on this ionMy feature.

If this new category/form type has specific questions that aren't captured in the standard form, tick the Is Flexi Option (tick for yes) checkbox. Once you save, you can customise your form with those additional questions.

image-20241008-031250.png
  1. The Parent’s Breadcrumb box is just an information box for administrators to easily identify what each category is linked to when you select an option from the “Parent Box

image-20241008-031325.png
  1. You have the option to assign staff to automatically receive an alert should a user submit a record that is this category type. For example, your WHS Manager might need to be alerted to all staff incidents. In this case, you would choose Selected Position(s) and select the WHS Manager from the list of positions.

image-20241008-031400.png
  1. Select the applicable radio button from the available options. You will then be presented with additional selection fields to select your alert recipients (Staff name vs. Position based selection criteria).
