Reserving an Unread Study for Yourself

With appropriate privileges, you can reserve a study from the Unread Studies Worklist or Global Studies Worklist for yourself.

  • This option is only available if you have appropriate permissions. See your System Administrator for more information.
  • Studies with a status of Dictated or Finalized cannot be reserved.
  • This option is inactive when you are in a Reservations Worklist, a Global Reservations Worklist, or a Reservations-based Worklist.
  • The Reservation dialog box displays in front of Synapse windows but not in front of third-party windows.
  • You can reserve multiple studies with one action; however, the selected studies must either be all reserved or unreserved studies. You cannot reserve a mix of reserved and unreserved studies.

Note:

For Synapse 7.1 and subsequent releases, Synapse supports updating study reservations for multiple studies and all associated accession numbers returned by PowerScribe when either Reserve for Me or Reserve for Others dictation options are enabled for the data source for the current study. The All Reservations and All Reservations Global worklists will include all of the reserved associated studies.

Steps

  1. Right-click the preferred study and select Reserve for Me.
  2. Optional: To reserve multiple individual studies, press and hold down the CTRL key, select the studies you want to reserve, right-click, and select Reserve for Me.:
  3. Optional: To reserve a range of studies, select the first study, press and hold down the SHIFT key, select the last study you want to reserve, right-click, and select Reserve for Me.
