Image Data
To view & update image record, select the Data button 
and a properties window will open on the left.
- Record p1: these fields hold descriptive information about the image and data that allows you to set values that can be searched upon later, such as Audit and Research flags and an Image Quality value. - Record p2: these fields consist of meta data taken from the image & placed into the database when uploaded. Some images do not have meta data (such as those captured directly from a video feed). In either case you may edit this data, as the original meta data is stored in the image. - Raw Image Tags: these fields cannot be edited, and are the meta data taken directly from the image file stored on the server. - Linked Record: this page shows summary data from the clinical record to which the image is linked, and a button to open that clinical record.
Once the details are entered Click the apply button or close button.
