HL7 format definition example

This example shows how to define an HL7 variant by creating a new variant containing a new field and segment.

You start by naming the variant. Select File > New > version. The Create New Variant dialog box is displayed.

Specify an appropriate name and click OK.

By default, after creating a variant you are working with that variant. If you exit the HL7 tool, then the next time you restart the tool you must specify the variant with which to work.
