Definition

A file in MANSOQ is an attachment that you upload and link to another record. You can attach a file to a Patient, an Encounter, a Consent, a Diagnostic Report, or a Service Request. Files keep scans, photos, recordings, and documents together with the record they belong to. MANSOQ shows the attachments in a Files tab on the Patient page and on the Encounter page.

Note: MANSOQ stores files as generic attachments. This module has no formal FHIR R5 resource mapping in MANSOQ.

Key Attributes

Components What it captures
File Name The name that MANSOQ shows for the attachment. You can change this name.
Attached to The record that the file belongs to: a Patient, an Encounter, a Consent, a Diagnostic Report, or a Service Request.
Category An internal classification of the file.
Upload status Whether the upload of the file is complete.
Archived Whether you removed the file from active use. MANSOQ shows this only after the upload is complete.

Category

Category is an internal classification. You cannot select a category when you add a file. Most category values have no visible label in the MANSOQ screens today.

How you add a file

You can add a file in three ways:

The maximum size of one file is 100 MB. MANSOQ accepts common image, video, and audio types. MANSOQ also accepts text documents, office documents, and PDF files.

How you open a file

MANSOQ shows a preview in the browser for images, PDF files, video files, and HTML files. For an audio file, MANSOQ shows a separate playback control. MANSOQ shows no preview for other file types. To open a file of another type, download it.

What you can do with a file

You can rename a file, archive a file, or download a file. To archive a file, you must give a reason. You cannot undo an archive action. MANSOQ has no permanent delete action. Archiving is the only way to remove a file from active use.

Permissions

Action Permission
View a file The same permission that lets you view clinical data for the Patient or the Encounter.
Upload, rename, or archive a file The same permission that lets you write to the Patient or the Encounter.

For a file that belongs to an Encounter, the Encounter must not be inactive. If the Encounter is inactive, you cannot upload, rename, or archive its files.
