Picklists are short lists of selectable items within TouchWorks. Picklists are made up of defined values from dictionaries. Picklists can be created for Communication Methods, in order to establish a set of communication mehtods connected to an Orderable item. For Example, creating a communication picklist for Perscriptions will include all of the ways a physician may communicate that order (Call in Rx, Write Rx, Fax Rx etc.)
Build Workbook Notes Here you set the Communication Methods you would like your orderables to have. These should have come over in the upgrade process. You will need to create a picklist for each different method of communication. For instance, for all methods that deal with an Rx you would want to create a picklist from the methods within the dictionary. The picklist might have, CallRx, MailRx, etc. The picklist Name (Not code or mnemonic) then will be used in the SSMT extract of the OIDs, column AY. When this is set you can then set which communication method you want defaulted for this order. You would set this in column AZ by the communication method Name (Not code or mnemonic).
To create global picklists review the process here SSMT: OID - Orderable Item Dictionary
