  Operator Messages
Create a List of Messages
You can create messages for immediate use or compose them ahead of time. If you anticipate the need 
to send certain messages in the future, you can build a library of messages. Then when you need a 
message, you can set its parameters and send it. 
Step 1
Click Operator Messages under Operator View in the left pane.
Step 2
Choose the Messages tab. 
Step 3
Click the Add New Message button.
Step 4
Enter a message.
Step 5
Select a default severity type.
Step 6
Save the entry by clicking the green button in the new message’s row.
Send a Message
When you are ready to send a message, you will choose either an existing message or create a new one. 
Then you will set its parameters before sending it to Patient View screens. Follow these steps to send a 
message:
Step 1
Choose the Send tab.
Step 2
If the message was pre-written, start entering the text of that message and choose the desired message 
from the pre-populated list. Otherwise, you can enter a new message in the Message field. 
Step 3
Select a severity type from the Severity drop-down menu.
Step 4
From the Display Type drop-down menu, select how much Patient View screen space should be given 
to the message.
Step 5
Select where you want the message to appear from the Room Type drop-down menu.
Step 6
Choose the number of minutes that the message will be displayed. If you choose “Forever”, the message 
will remain on the Patient View screens until you clear all active messages.
Step 7
From the Location drop-down menu, select whether all locations should view the message or just certain 
departments or floors of the hospital. If you selected “Departments” or “Floors”, another field will 
appear in which you choose a single or multiple department(s)/floor(s).
Step 8
Click the Send button to push out the message to Patient View screens.
Step 9
If you want to save the message in the Messages tab for future use, click the OK button in the dialog 
box. If you do not want it saved, uncheck the Save New Message check box and then click the OK 
button.
The message will be sent to Patient View and appear on its screens.
Step 10
If you choose “Forever” for the duration, click the Clear All Active Messages button when the message 
is no longer needed.
