Home » Add Segment
There are two ways to add segments, depending on your needs. You can either add a segment defined in the profile you’re working on, or add one from a different profile.
Start here:
To create a new Segment definition, click on Add Segment, New. A new Segment definition appears at the bottom of the list.
You can also create a copy of an existing Segment definition by right-clicking on the source definition, select Copy and then right-click again and select Paste. A new Segment definition appears at the bottom of the list.
Mode | Why Choose This Option |
Action | Example |
Import only missing definitions | Choose this if you only want to import element that don’t already exist in your profile. | This will import definitions that are not present in the current profile and all referenced elements. | Your profile doesn’t have a PID segment you’d like to add from HL7 v2.6. |
Replace all definitions | Choose this if you need to replace all existing definitions with the imported definitions. | Replace existing elements with imported elements. This means that you’ll overwrite current definitions. The segment definition will change to the imported definition. | Your profile has an XPN definition that you would like to replace with the one from v2.6. |
Blend definitions | Choose this if you need to import a definition from another profile, but also need to keep all definitions from both profiles. | This will import all selected and referenced definitions and will duplicate all elements that are different. | Your profile has a custom ZOD definition from one source system. A second source system uses a different definition. You need to code an interface for both definitions. |
