    • The Case Summary section is displayed below the patient banner. This section shows the case creation and case sharing history with latest activity at the top.

      When the case has many transactions, a scroll bar is available to view and access all transactions.

    • Each transaction shows the sender, recipient(s) (to), transaction date and time in the header section, the clinical reason, message, images, and documents, as well as thumbnails for each attachment (both DICOM and non-DICOM, with the name and date).
    • Optionally, each group member can add information about the case before the MDT session using the Preliminary opinion text field.

      If saving the information fails for any reason, the application displays the following message:

      "Unable to save preliminary opinion, please try again!"

      Click Save again to save the preliminary opinion.

      Group members can add their preliminary opinion only once. After you have saved the preliminary opinion, no additional information can be added to the case.

      Also, if Generic MDT Outcome Report has been selected for the MDT group at Report template, unwanted/irrelevant preliminary opinions can be removed by MDT group coordinators when the session is in presentation mode.
