Page Description

Use the Archive page to create archives, restore archives, and restore orders. Note that you must have the necessary security settings in order to access and use the archive feature. Click on the tab that corresponds to the task you wish to perform.

Note that users may set system default settings to archive records older than a specified number of days on the System Defaults administration page. See the Admin: System Defaults topic. Users may also view and restore archive data for patients and their related patients on the Order History page. See the Order History topic.

In addition, when merging patients, Copia will retain any archived records from the patient being merged to the patient that is not deleted.

Creating Archives

  1. Use the top section of the Create Archive tab to enter the parameters for the orders you wish to archive.
  2. Enter the Archive Name to label the archive so that you know what orders are included in it. This field is required.
  3. Enter descriptive information, if desired, in the Archive Comment field. For example, you may wish to include the date or information about the patients, practices, or locations for orders in the archive.
  4. You may also enter or select the following parameters for the archive:
  5. You may make selections for patient, practice, and locations. So, for example, you may perform an archive for a specific patient’s orders that were ordered at a specific practice or even specific location.

  6. In the Order Choice Types section, select the Exclude or Include option, and then click the Add button to select order choice types in the Order Choice Type Search page that Copia should exclude from or include in the archive. See the Admin: Order Choice Type Search topic. You may wish to do this, for example, if your organization has to keep certain order choice results longer than others. In this case, you would select the Exclude option and add those order choice types to this list, and Copia will not archive them. Click the X button in the Delete column to remove an order choice type from the exclusion/inclusion list.
  7. In the Patient Class section, select the Exclude or Include option, and then click the Add button to select patient classes in the Patient Class Search page that Copia should exclude from or include in the archive. See the Admin: Patient Class Search topic. Click the X button in the Delete column to remove a patient class from the exclusion/inclusion list.
  8. Once you have established all of the desired parameters, click the Archive button to perform the archive.
  9. Once you click the Archive button, Copia displays the progress of the archive in the Archive Running section, showing all the settings of the archive and a progress bar that updates every ten seconds. Note that Copia runs only one archive at a time for an entire Copia application. All users will see the progress page if an archive is already in progress.
  10. Click the Pause button to pause the archive in progress, and then click the Pause button again to continue archiving the orders when you are ready.
  11. During an archive, Copia displays a Stop button. Click this button to stop the archive and revert all data back to the way it was before the archive began. Note that in some instances this may take awhile.

Restoring Archives

  1. Use the Restore Archive tab if you wish to restore all of the orders included in a selected archive file.
  2. Enter an archive name in the Archive Name field to search for archives based on the archive's name. Enter a start date in the Creation Start Date fields to specify filtering by a specific start date. Enter an end date in the Creation End Date fields to specify filtering by a specific end date. These appear in the format MM/DD/YYYY. Click the calendar icon to manually select a date, click the Now button to enter the current date, or click the Clear button to clear all values from the fields.
  3. If the list is longer than one page, use the Page links, located below the list of archive files, to navigate through the list. If there are more page links than can fit on the page at once, Copia displays the Page field. Enter a number in this field and press the Enter key on the keyboard to immediately open the selected page.
  4. Click the Name of the archive file to display the contents of the archive file on the Restore Order tab. This will allow you to individually restore one or more selected orders from the archive file.
  5. Click the file Path to open a dialog that allows you to change the path where the selected archive is located.
  6. Click the Restore button to restore all records in the archive that have not already been restored. When a restore is run, a progress page appears that details which archive is being restored, when the archive was started, and the completion progress bar that updates every 10 seconds. Note that Copia does allow multiple restores to occur at the same time.
  7. Once you click the Restore button, Copia displays the progress of the restore in the Archive Restores Running section, showing which archive is being restored, when the restore was started, and a progress bar that updates every ten seconds. Note that Copia can run multiple restores at the same time.

    Note that if an archive file is missing, Copia alerts you to which files are missing and presents you the choice to partially restore the files or cancel the restoration.

  8. Click the Refresh button to refresh the Archives section to reflect the filtering configuration specified in the Restore Archive Filter section to view the archive that was filtered for.
  9. Click the Stop button to pause the restore in progress, and then click the Resume button to continue restoring the orders when you are ready.

Restoring Orders

  1. Use the Restore Order tab to view order details that are archived and restore archived orders on an order-by-order basis.
  2. Copia displays all archived orders by Order ID, Ordered order choices, Patient name, Practice, Ordering Location, Order Date, Ordered By, and Restore Date (if it has been restored previously).
  3. To narrow the list of displayed archived orders, set one or more of the parameters below:
  4. Once you have selected your filter parameters, click the Refresh button to update the list.
  5. Select the Select checkbox for one or more orders in the list, or click the Select column header to select all of the orders on the currently displayed page. Note that you may select orders on more than one page before performing the restore.
  6. After you select one or more orders, click the Restore button to restore the selected orders.
  7. Click the Unarchive button to unarchive selected orders. Click the Restore & Unarchive button to restore and unarchive selected orders. If no orders are selected, clicking either of these buttons will display the message "No orders have been selected" and the action will be prevented.
  8. When you restore orders, Copia brings the information back into the system; however, you must click the button in the Unarchive column to return the order to its original state, as though it had never been archived, so that you may edit the order.
