Page Description
Use this page to view or modify inbound HL7 or attachment messages. If you make changes, you are permanently modifying the original message. The system does not maintain backup copies of messages. For messages that require the use of Mapper, the system displays a Translated Message section. Select the show link to view the message or rerun the Mapper Script, if necessary.
Accessing this Page
- Select the Details link on the Inbound Queue page.
Modifying Inbound Messages
- When the Inbound Message Details page appears, the system displays message details.
- Message Type: The type of message to be delivered (HL7, Attachment, Fax, or Email).
- Number of Attempts: The number of attempts made to send the message.
- File Name: The name of the file if the message is an attachment. You may modify this file name, if necessary.
- Place the cursor in the message to display in the Cursor Position field the part of the message the cursor is in (e.g., IN2-5.1 or PV1-7.2). There are a few special cases: if the cursor is at the beginning of the message, the position will be "Start of Message"; if the cursor is at the end of the message, the position will be "End of Message"; if the cursor is in the first field of the MSH segment, the position will display "Message Delimiters"; if the cursor is at the end of a segment or the beginning of the next segment, the position will display "End of <segment type> Start of <segment type>" (e.g., End of GT1 Start of IN1).
- To edit HL7 messages, highlight or delete text already displayed, then modify as needed. Note that you are permanently modifying the original message. The system does not maintain backup copies of messages.
- View the message status in the Errors field.
- For messages that require the use of Mapper, the system displays a Translated Message section. Select the show link to view the message or rerun the Mapper Script, if necessary. See "Viewing Translated Messages" below.
