Loading data, external and otherwise, in 5.0.0(3)

Management and Administration
#1

I’m setting up 5.0.0(3) for testing and am trying to figure out how to load various data. The wiki instructions for loading icd10 data say go “Administration->Other-Load External Data”, but there is no “Load External Data” under Administration->Other. I only have Language, Forms, Calendar, and Logs. Did I miss something somewhere?

Also, are there any documents describing the tables, fields, and what they are used for? A data dictionary? I’d like to be able to load other data (e.g., patient demographics, insurance, etc.) as well, but I am not sure where to put information properly.

Any pointers gratefully accepted.

Hi @logical ,

That menu can be large and can go off screen, which can be seen if scroll down with your mouse while hovering over the menu.

Some table documentation can be found here:

I thought I checked for that, but I guess I wasn’t doing something right. :slight_smile: I’m good now. Many thanks, sir!

Try the Compact Menu - it fits on the screen.
