Edit Segments And Fields

Edit segments and fields, so you capture the data elements pertinent to your specification. Due to the nature of the HL7 standard (HL7 is object-oriented), any changes made are global changes and affect the entire profile.

There are two ways to access segments and fields:

1. Edit within Each Message

Click the “+” sign to expand a message, then edit the segment.

 Conformance_EditSegment1

2. Edit from the Segment Library

Right-click a message, and select Segment... A separate window displays the Segment Library. Expand the segment you wish to edit by clicking the plus sign.

 Conformance_EditSegment2

To edit each field or individual component, click on the title. Under the Configuration tab, make the changes to each field attribute.
