Configuration

The iQ-RIS worklist is file based, each study scheduled in iQ-RIS produces a worklist file (= worklist entry). The file has the extension .wl. The file extension is .wl as long as the study’s status is “scheduled” (in iQ-RIS). When changing the study’s status (remove study from scheduled studies list), which is what you do in the RIS after a patient has been examined, the worklist file extension is changed to .done.

Now create a batch file to delete .done files:

1. Create a text file

2. Rename this file to erase.bat

3. Write the following line into this file: erase /S *.done

4. Move this file to the C:\Worklist folder

Now create a Scheduled Task in Windows that executes the batch file once a day. Follow the steps below to create this Scheduled Task under Windows XP:

1. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Scheduled Tasks

2. A new window opens – double-click Add Scheduled Task

3. Click Next and load the erase.bat file on the second page of the wizard

4. Define the name and frequencies of the task (on the third page)

5. Select the time and day you want this task to start (on the fourth page)

6. Enter name and password of a user account that is able to delete files (on the fifth

page)

7. Finish the wizard

This Scheduled Task will delete all .done files from C:\Worklist and all subdirectories.
