FLO master file - ANSGroups & Rows are records in which master file?
Group (Flowsheet Group) - ANSUsed to organize individual documentation flowsheet rows;

Within the open group/row record (in the doc flowsheet builder). - ANSWhere do you link rows to
a group?
Within the open template record (in the doc flowsheet builder). - ANSWhere do you link groups
to a template?
The group form in a flowsheet group record. - ANSWhere do you specify all the rows that should
normally show up in a group by default?
Start Removed (mark them as start removed). - ANSHow do you have groups added on a
template that should not appear by default/added by clinicians as needed?
Topics - ANSOrganizes similar groups together in the table of contents so clinicians can easily

From the bottom up, but with a slight variation:
-at a high level, to build most flowsheet rows:
1. Create a placeholder flowsheet group record
2. Build all the rows to appear on the flowsheet (build row records & set the group as
"preferred")
3. Attach the rows to groups created in Step 1
4. Build the flowsheet template & attach groups to it - ANSIn what order should you build a
flowsheet?
In Hyperspace (in Flowsheets FLT & FLO) - ANSWhere are all flowsheet records built, edited, &
accessed?
Preface all group record names with "G" and preface all row record names with "R." - ANSHow
should you distinguish between groups and rows in the FLO record?
