Managing Object Records

Object Records enables admins to manage individual object records.

The Tendo platform’s data model is based on the Tendo Object Model (TOM), a logical representation of the data model for Tendo’s products and the interface between Tendo internal services and external consumers to read from and write to the Tendo object database.

Accessing Object Records

To see actual records associated with each object, log in to Atrium, navigate to Admin in the dropdown menu in the upper left corner, and choose Object Records on the main left navigation bar.

You will see a list of the objects, with each object’s name, whether it is a standard or custom object, and a description of it.

Click on an object's hyerlinked name to see a list view of the actual object records associated with each object.

The object is represented by the table in this view. Each row represents a specific object record, and each column represents a field associated with the object. For example, the table below represents specific appointment records. The first column is patient names, some of which are redacted here, and the other columns represent fields associated with the appointment records.

You can perform the following actions using the controls in the top right corner.

Export - Click Export to export a CSV file of the object record list to your computer.

Search - Click the magnifying glass icon to open a search bar in which you can search for names or other data that can help you find specific object records. Click again on the magnifying glass icon on the left of the search bar to open a dropdown menu that gives you three options for searching:

• Fuzzy - Allows you to use search terms that are approximations of an item. It’s useful for broad-based searches.
• Contains - Your search term must contain the name of what you are searching for.
• Starts with - Your search term just start with the same letters as the term you are searching for.

Show/hide filter - Click on the funnel icon to show a field at the top of each column. You can input a search term to filter the table. For example, inputting the name Christopher in the search field at the top of the Name column on the Appointments record view brings up all appointment records for patients named Christopher.

Show/hide columns - You can show or hide particular columns that represent fields in an object by clicking on the columns icon in the top right corner. Toggle columns on or off by clicking on the blue toggle buttons next to the columns. You also can Hide all or Show all columns.

Adding a Record

To add a new record to an object, click on that object in the list of objects. In the top right of the Object list page that appears, click Add in the upper right corner. An Add [Object name] modal will display. Add information about each of the fields that help define how the object looks and functions in Tendo apps.

To save time, you can click on the field and choose a object instance to use as a basis for your new record. For example, if you want to set up a new record for a patient’s heart valve appointment, and an existing appointment type is among options listed in the Based on dropdown menu, you can use it as a starting point to create your record.

The fields that are available to configure vary depending on the object upon which your record is based.
