Configure the data table for a request type example

Review the data table associated with a request, such as the EMR Request Data [sn_ind_rmt_help_incident_data] table, and make sure that the table has columns to store each system variable that you're planning to fetch from an EMR system.

Say, as an administrator, you want to include a system variable encounter from an EMR system in the EMR incident request type.

You would confirm that the encounter system variable appears on the incident request type by using the following workflow:

1. You review the EMR Request Data [sn_ind_rmt_help_incident_data] table by navigating to All > System Definition > Tables and selecting the table.
2. You check whether a column corresponding to the encounter system variable exists in the table.

   You observe that the column doesn't exist.

3. You add a new column corresponding to the encounter system variable by clicking New in the Columns related list and filling in the column details associated with the encounter system variable on the Dictionary entry form and clicking Submit.
