Hello Chuggers!!

I am in the process of creating a custom text function that I would like to have available through the system (within a VFE form and callable from a quick text).

I have written the function and saved it as a text component. When I manually add the text component within an encounter, I can them activate this function from a quick text successfully.

I would like to not have to manually add this text component in the encounter (nor do I really want to add this text component to my encounter definition - Document Templates).

Is there a good/best place to add this text function so that it is available inherently through the system/encounters?

I was thinking about adding my function to either: mellib.txt, usrlib.txt or usrlibccc.txt files. Looking for other suggestions on how others have fulfilled the need to include a custom text function within the system. Did you create your own custom text file that would be loaded as part of CPS startup through a "load ... " call from usrlib or usrlibccc files?

Any comments or feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for picking your brains.

I'm thinking that usrlib.txt is the way to go if you want to get to it everywhere. I have stayed with using custom function libraries and calling them when needed. I just find this to be the cleanest way to go for me, but your experience could be different. Lee did a great break down of the pro/cons of how to access the functions you write:
