About IRIS Whiz

Originally created to make the differences between TEST and PRODUCTION instances more immediately obvious, features were added to enhance and make easier; message searching, message comparison and monitoring productions. This web browser extension is best suited to Interface analysts working with HL7 v2 messages in the Intersystems healthshare environment. This code is made available as is and will not be supported. Please see License.txt for full details. ## Set Up: All features require that you build out your instances of Intersystems Ensemble/Iris/Healthconnect on the Options page. Some features also require namespaces to be created. To add your instances and namespaces navigate to the extensions options page. You can do this by going into your browser's extension manager and finding the options button on this extension. OR if you have pinned the extension to your taskbar, click it and then click the Options Page button that appears in the pop-up window. Scroll down to the Instances table and add your instances. Click the namespace cell to open the pop-up namespace table. Each namespace you create will be associated with the instance that is showing in title of the namespace form. Instances and Namespaces save automatically when you click off the field being edited. You will be prompted with a permission request for the extension to work on your instances, read it and click accept if you're happy. Finally, enable your desired features using the checkbox form on the settings tab of the options page. ## Features: #### Browser Based 01. AutoTab 02. AutoTab - Namespaces 03.

AutoTab Organises your tabs into coloured Tab Groups by Ensemble Instance for easy identification in the browser. Requires the instances object to have been built using the Instances tool in the extension options page. This feature can help you to organise Test and Production instances into groups in your browser to prevent confusion. #### 02. AutoTab - Namespaces Further organises your Tab Groups into different Namespaces. Each Namespace shares its colour with its parent Instance. Requires the instances object to have been built using the Instances tool in the extension options page. #### 03. Instance Header Colours Colours your Instance headers for easier on-page identification of Instance. (So you don't get confused and accidentally change production when you're trying to test!) Requires the instances object to have been built using the Instances tool in the extension options page. This feature can help you to easily differentiate between Test and Production instances at a glance. #### 04. Message Search Creates a context menu so you can right click on any hyperlinked message content in the Contents page in Message Viewer (Full Contents, not Raw) and create a search criterion based on that Message's schema. This works using timings so may not be useful on slower computers. Highlight the message content to search for that content. If you don't highlight any text the Add Criterion window will autofill but stop so you can add your own value to search for. Also works on the Visual Trace page in the Contents frame. Opens a new message search window and adds the criterion. Caution, the criterion from your previous Message Viewer search may automatically appear when opening Message Viewer from the Visual Trace page. #### 05. Open Session Opens the Visual Trace for the provided session ID. Found on the pop-up when you click the extension icon. *You must be on the correct namespace for the session ID you wish to search for. Helpful for sharing a particular session with a team member or saving it for later. Potential use - save the session ID in the MSH segment of a HL7 message. Use this feature to navigate to the message quickly from a third party system. #### 06. Selected Messages Tab on Message Viewer Page View the HL7 content of each selected message on the Message Viewer Page. Makes comparing similar messages easier. #### 07. Share Link on Selected Messages Tab Click the Share Link button to copy a link to your clipboard that will open all of the currently selected messages in a new window. Useful for sharing a set of messages with a team member or saving a set of messages for later. #### 08. Full Trace Tab on Visual Trace Page Shows the HL7 content for all currently visible HL7 messages in the visual trace. Useful for comparing input with output. #### 09. Import Message on HL7 Message Content Page Import a HL7 message from another open Message Content page. Useful for comparing messages across environments. E.g. Test with Production #### 10.
