Clear Reverse Hierarchy Registry entry

Specifies whether to clear Lookup List hierarchies when double keying.

Note: Only for use by the Mississippi State Department of Health.

The Mississippi system contains a large number of Lookup Lists which have associated NCHS code values. A problem with Lookup Lists is that an error is displayed to the user when a value changes on a read-only list to something that is not recorded in the Lookup List hierarchy. This causes difficulty during double keying as a mistake by the first keyer means that all hierarchy fields must be keyed before a new value can be entered. This setting determines whether the system will automatically clear the hierarchies when double keying.

Usage

This Registry entry is assigned to groups:

KeyGroupGroup
Key 1GroupGroup
Key 2groupDefault
Key 3TableTable
Key 4tableDefault
Key 5Clear Reverse Hierarchy
Valueboolean
GroupgroupTabletableClear Reverse Hierarchyboolean
GroupDefaultTableDefaultClear Reverse Hierarchyboolean

where:

boolean

is true (a Lookup List hierarchy will be cleared when double keying) or false (only the field to be double keyed is cleared and the remainder of the hierarchy is left intact).

Example

This entry specifies that Lookup List hierarchies will be cleared when double keying:
