About this task

Use these steps to save a protocol that is currently active in Scan and has been modified to a desired state. Protocol notes are saved with the protocol.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Save the active Scan protocol from one of the following locations:
    • From the Workflow Manager menu bar, click Exam > Save as Protocol.
    • From the Scan Session tab, click arrow > Save As Protocol.
  2. From the Protocol Properties screen, complete the following:
    1. The original protocol name appears in the Name field. Enter a new name for the new protocol, or keep the current name if you are over writing the original protocol.
      • Note that the protocol name cannot include any of the following characters: \
    2. Select an ID if desired. If an ID is not entered, the system assigns the number in the display field.
    3. Select Adult or Pediatric as the protocol type.
    4. Select an anatomical area from the Anatomy menu.
    5. In the filters area, check one or more filters, if desired. All protocols appear in the Protocol List but only protocols that have been filtered appear in the filtered Protocol List.
    6. Enter a protocol description that appears at the bottom or the Protocol screen when the protocol is selected.
    7. Click one or both of the favorite selections. A Protocol Selection Favorite folder appears with a star on the folder.
  3. Click Save to save the protocol to the selected library.
    • If the protocol name is already in your Site library under the same anatomy category, an overwrite saved protocol prompt appears. Click Yes to overwrite the protocol or click No and rename the protocol and click Save.
  4. If protocol lockout is turned on, type your password in the Protocol Password text box.
    • The protocol password prohibits unauthorized users from changing protected protocols.
    • The password can contain any combination of letters and numbers and is case-sensitive.
    • You are only prompted for a protocol password if protocol lockout is turned on. A password is not needed if the protocol is in the Other category.
