This is a request I received last week from a nurse..

Could you make it like a table you can add in the template? Like below

Muscle Injected:	Units:	Volume (ml):	Sites:
Gastrocnemius	100	1.0	2
Soleus	100	1.0	2

is it possible to add table format? My first thought was flowsheet but that is just a view- it can't come across in text right? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance! We are on CPS10 and use VFE

Tables are not supported. There are 2 close workarounds through. One involves tabs, and involves another involves a padding function.

1. Tabs – Works for non fixed length fonts. I would advise you to use no more than 2 columns though. 1 long piece of user data and formatting get crazy quickly.

{backslash}t is recognized as a tab (NOTE: you really use the backslash character – the forum clears this when I type it). You need to make sure you add enough to tab past the largest label in the column.

so in translation (OBSTERM NAMES ARE NOT ACCURATE)

{CFMT(OBSNOW("MUSCLE"),"Muscle Injected:{backslash}t{backslash}t","",CFMT(OBSNOW("INSUNITS),""," – ",""," units") + CFMT(OBSNOW("VOLINS),""," ",""," ml") + CFMT(OBSNOW("NUMSITES"),""," @ ","","2 sites") + HRET)}

2. Padding Function (not my creation). This lends itself better to more than 2 columns

{/* the pad function pads the string s with spaces to make it len long
    Also set the font to a fixed width one */
fn fnpad(s, len) {
  local i

  /* if s is already bigger than len, then leave it alone */
  if size(s) > len then
    return s
  else
    for i = size(s), i < len, i = i + 1 do
      s = s + " "
    endfor
    return s
  endif
}}

Then you would select a fixed length font for the form, and do translation like….

{fnpad("Muscle Injected:",10) + fnPad(OBSNOW("MUSCLE),10) + nextlabel + nextobs….}
