See Your Medications The Way You Want To
The Medications screen now lets you build your own column layouts. Show the fields that matter to you, hide the ones that don't, drag them into the order you like, and save the whole arrangement as a named View you can switch back to in one tap.
Where to find it
Open the Medications list. Just above the table you'll see a new Views: Standard button on the second row of the header. Tap it.
You get three things:
- Standard — the built-in default layout (Order, Medication, Start Date, Type, Strength, Frequency, Quantity, Time of Day, Notes). Nothing you can do here will mess up Standard. It's always there to fall back on.
- Customize Current View… — opens a sheet where you can build a new view: toggle every column on or off, drag them into the order you want, name it, save it.
- Manage Views… — rename or delete any view you've saved. Standard is locked.
What you can put on a view
A lot more than what Standard shows. Beyond the nine Standard columns, you can choose from: Generic Name, Nickname, Route, End Date, Prescriber, Pharmacy, Rx Number, Refills Left, Refill Method, Refill Good Until, Reason Stopped, Duration, Food, what condition the med is For, Pill Description, Pill Imprint, Dose Days, Day of Month, Every-Other-Day Start, OTC, the full Note text, and Question. Show as few or as many as you like.
Two columns are always at the front of every view: Order and Medication. They can't be hidden, swapped, or pushed back. That way you always know which row is which.
What gets saved per view
When you save a view, it remembers:
- Which columns are visible
- The order they appear in
- The widths you've dragged them to
- Which column is sorting the list, and whether it's ascending or descending
Switch to that view later and the table snaps back exactly the way you left it.
Shared across patients, included in backup
A view you create as one patient is available for every patient on the iPad. It's not buried in one patient's record — it's a setting on the device. And because the views are stored in the same database the rest of the app uses, they're automatically included in your backup. Restore on a new iPad and your custom views come along.
A couple of ideas to start with
- Travel — Medication, Strength, Frequency, Time of Day, Prescriber, Pharmacy. The essentials a visiting clinician would want to know.
- Refill Watch — Medication, Refills Left, Refill Good Until, Pharmacy, Refill Method. Quick check of what needs reordering.
- By Condition — Medication, For, Strength, Frequency. Useful when you're talking to a specialist about a single condition.
Build one, build five, build a dozen — there's no limit. Custom views live where they're easiest to use: right next to your data.
