What is the Workflow Manager ‘sticky tab’ and how do I switch between it and other EMIS Web modules?

Workflow
Intermediate

The Workflow Manager 'sticky tab' in EMIS Web is a feature that provides seamless navigation between different EMIS Web modules while working within the Workflow Manager. When you engage with a test request, for instance, the Workflow Manager Task screen opens as an additional tab above your interface. This allows you to access other modules - such as the patient's care record - without losing your position.

Using the 'Sticky Tab'

The sticky tab ensures that your current workflows remain accessible as you move across the system. When you switch to other modules, the sticky tab remains visible above the module ribbon. A simple click on the tab returns you to the exact point in your workflow, avoiding the need to repeatedly start processes over or re-access specific tasks.

Navigating Between Modules

To navigate between the Workflow Manager and other EMIS Web modules:

  • From the Workflow Manager Task screen, access another module using the EMIS button or the quick access toolbar.
  • A sticky tab labelled with the task or module of origin will appear. Clicking this tab returns you to the test request on the Workflow Manager Task screen.

This functionality enhances efficiency by minimizing interruption during multi-tasking, enabling you to manage information retrieval alongside ongoing workflow processes.

"The ability to access patient records and other modules without disrupting workflow ensures that test requests are managed with greater effectiveness and continuity."
