The eCHR Listing page allows you to find all eCHRs and provides an interactive view of the contents collected as it's being collected. You can see the status, preview the report in HTML, download documents attached to it, view the contents, and approve them to produce the final report.
The statuses of an eCHR are:
- Open: The eCHR can be changed.
- Pending Approval: The report has been finalised and the contents is fixed. It's now ready for someone to approve it.
- Approved: The eCHR is signed off and no further edits is possible unless it's re-opened.
- Deleted: An eCHR report that was deleted.
Content
The Contents is accessed from the eCHR Listing screen. It displays what's been written to the eCHR. When you start a job and work through the workflow, content will be written to the eCHR. There are also actions you can perform in the Content page which are discussed in detail below.
Interactive View of eCHR Lines
You can view the eCHR Lines that have been recorded so far, at the point of viewing. Each section can have several eCHR Lines, for example, multiple documents attached to the Documents section.

Expand the eCHR Line to see the detailed information. A line consists of a summary and detailed section.

The detailed section contains information about the revision of the eCHR Line and human-friendly presentation of the line data.
Sign eCHR Lines
You can see which lines have not been signed and which do not need signature in the content page. For lines that support retrospective signatures, you can click on the line and click the Sign Line button to bring up the Sign eCHR Line pop-up. The meaning of the signature, the user and password is required. You can also leave a comment.


You can:
- View the status of eSignatures for a line which can be Not Required, Not Signed, and Signed.
- The View Details on lines that were signed brings up the eSignature Content pop-up with information about the signature.
Lines can also be signed through an explicit action in a workflow. For more information, see the Review and Sign eCHR Workflow Action documentation.
Detailed Information
Expand the eCHR Line to display the detailed information included in the eCHR including all revision of that information. The content defaults to a human-friendly format (Formatted Content) of the data in eCHR that has been captured so far.
User Information
The user account and the date/time of the login session during which the selected revision of the eCHR Line was written. The reason tells you the mechanism that caused the selected revision to be created.

Revision
An eCHR Line can have one or many revisions. Whenever the eCHR Line is changed in any way, a new revision is generated. This provides full traceability of all updates of information in the eCHR blockchain storage.
Formatted Content vs Raw Data
Line content can be viewed as Formatted Content or Raw Data, where both relates to the detailed information.
- Formatted Content: Database data is rendered in a human-friendly format as defined in the eCHR Profile. This allows you to control how information is displayed, enabling you to choose which fields are relevant for your needs without writing code. This flexibility ensures that different customers can tailor the display to their requirements.
- Raw Data: Database data presented in JSON format. The Binary Data displays the documentation attached to the eCHR Line. Updates to the raw data creates a new revision with the details about who made the changes, when it was made, and the reason. Retaining raw data supports robust audit trails, making it possible to defend the integrity of the data if questioned. The raw data field contains all collected information, while the formatted view is a subset or a presentation of that data.
Company Log on Printable Report
Your company logo can be displayed in the top left hand corner of the printable report.
- Navigate to the Application Properties page.
- Select the ECHR_PRINTABLE_REPORT_LOGO KEY and click the Edit button to display the Set Property pop-up.
- Provide the document name of your logo image as it appears in the Document Manager. It displays as a fixed size in the report irrespective of the size in the Document Manager.
- If the logo is upversioned in the Document Manager, the latest version will automatically display in eCHR printable report.
Preview Report
The Preview Report lets you view an eCHR report before it's been approved and how it will be visualised in the final report. The report may not be complete when previewing. For example, this could be useful for WIP jobs where you might want to see what's already in there and what status it is.
To preview a report:
- Navigate to the eCHR Listing screen.
- Apply the filters to limit the search results returned. Note that when the Show Images checkbox is ticked, other documents besides images like spreadsheets, text documents, etc., are not included in the report. These would have to be downloaded from the Line Documents section of the Preview Report pop-up.
- Select an eCHR listing and click the Preview Report button.
- Use the checkboxes to specify what to include in the HTML report.
- The eCHR Line Type field selections filters the results displayed.
- Click the Preview Report button to download the HTML report.
- The Line Documents contain all the documents associated with the eCHR. They are referenced in the eCHR and can be printed. Click the Download button next to the documents in the report you want to download.
Finalise Report
When you finalise a report, it puts it into a Pending Approval status. You can finalise an eCHR report from the eCHR Listing screen or the Content screen. Both routes displays the Finalise Report pop-up. Note: when an eCHR is in Pending Approval status it is fixed and any transactions that are configured to update the eCHR are blocked. The exception to this is if Manage Transaction Controls settings on certain controls have been set.
Click the Finalise Report button. This button only displays for eCHRs that are in Open status. This opens the Finalise Report pop-up. It is similar to the Preview Report pop-up, except for the Finalise Report button which changes the status of the eCHR to Pending Approval.
Approve eCHR
When an eCHR is in Pending Approval status, it can be approved from the eCHR Listing page or from the Content screen. An eSignature is required to approve an eCHR and therefore the Choose eSign Requirement pop-up is displayed with a dropdown of eSignature requirements. Note that approval of the eCHR supports multiple signature requirements if configured in the eSignature Profile.
eSign eCHR
eCHR headers must be signed on approval where the signature requirements are defined in the eCHR Profile. eCHR Lines may or may not need a signature. You cannot sign an eCHR header until all child lines that require signature, have been signed. For more information Sign eCHR Lines.
To see which eCHRs are unsigned or partially signed, you can unhide the Signature Status column. To do this:
- Right click the three dots next to any of the columns in the eCHR Listing screen.
- Select the 3 vertical lines III and check the Signature Status box.
The statuses could be Not Signed, Partially Signed (the full compliment of signatures haven't been obtained), or Signed. When selecting partially signed and signed eCHRs, the View Signatures button displays which shows the signature details when clicked.
View Report
View an approved eCHR report. This revision of the report cannot be changed. If this eCHR were to be reopened, it would create a new revision.
Reopen eCHR
Creates a new revision of the header that is unsigned and allows changes to be made. If you re-open and eCHR, you have to provide a eSignature.
History
Click the History button on the eCHR Listing screen to view the revisions of the selected eCHR.
