Customising

While lists vary slightly depending on their content, they are consistent and familiar. Context Menus (long press, or right-click on Mac) will present several options depending on the item. You can also Swipe left to delete and swipe right for common functions like favourite, duplicate & edit/rename.

The small number to the right of all items represent the number of cases (or patients for a Patient Personal List) that are linked to that item. To view those cases or patients, just tap the row.

When viewing a list of Patients, tapping on the row will open the Edit Patient screen.

Favourited items will appear at the top of the screen for quick access which is particularly useful when selecting items to add to your Cases, etc.

Rich Text Notes

Any item can now have rich text notes attached to it, including web links, phone numbers and more.

This can be particularly useful if you want to link to relevant drug information or add clinical notes to specific comorbidities, as a few examples.

To View/Edit notes, use the context menu system. Items that have Notes attached to them will have a small icon signifying this, which is visible throughout Somnus.

Notes of course sync via iCloud to your other devices.

NOTE: These are attached to the database items NOT the Case to which those items are linked. For Case or Patient specific clinical notes, use Case Notes or Patient Notes, both of which are exported in Case Reports (PDF) & Spreadsheets (CSV).

If you add a note to a comorbidity or operation, it will be the same note wherever you see that specific comorbidity or operation.

Edit Mode

The chart/menu (ellipsis) button allows you to toggle Charts as well as finer control when in Edit Mode. Tap the Edit button to enter Edit Mode, to merge or delete multiple items and more.

When you select two or more items, additional menu options appear including the ability to create a Search Item to save for later, or a Quick Search to view all Cases with the selected items without necessarily saving it as a Search Item.

To add a new item to any list (including cases & patients) tap the Plus icon at bottom right.
