Icons
Below are icons used throughout MaximEyes SQL to help the user to navigate and quickly perform common tasks. For a complete catalog of icons and buttons, see the Glossary.
- Rolodex/Record Browser
The Rolodex allows the user to browse through the records for that module. It only displays in View mode (non-editable) for all modules, except Patient Encounters.
To scroll to another patient in the system, use the slider to move up/down, click on the upper or lower card, or type in a record number next to Record.
- Main Toolbar Buttons
All View mode (non-editable) windows display these buttons on the Main toolbar, allowing the user to quickly perform these common tasks for that module window:
All editable windows (New or Edit mode) display these buttons on the Main toolbar, allowing the user to save or cancel without saving changes made to the module window.
List View
Most of the modules have a list view window that shows all the Records related to that module in a list (data grid) format.

The list enables the user to view all the Records at a glance and then perform operations on single or multiple Records using the various buttons provided.
Filter By Tab
This tab provides standard filter criteria to narrow down the list of Records and perform the selected partial/full search on the Records for that module. Once the filter is selected or defined, MaximEyes SQL automatically performs the filter and displays the records accordingly.
Data Grid
List view windows, such as Code Complete Manager, display the records in a data grid. Data grids are also used in some of the Encounter Elements (Final Diagnoses, Final Procedures, etc.).
Grid Buttons: Most of the grids have standard grid buttons for various tasks, such as Copy, View, Edit and Delete. (Note: Clicking anywhere on the grid row will also display the record for viewing.)

Sort: Most of the grids can be sorted by double-clicking on the header row of the grid.
Exam Navigator
When an Encounter window displays in the Contents Pane, the Left Pane displays the Exam Navigator tab, in addition to the Main tab.
![](Images/MaximEyes_ExamNavLabels.jpg)
The Exam Navigator lists in alphabetical order all the Encounter Elements by Encounter Page. There are three types of Encounter pages listed in the Exam Navigator, designated by different colors:
- History pages are dark blue.

To navigate to another patient Encounter page, click the corresponding page name in the Exam Navigator.
