#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.01	processing steps	0;1	POINTER	8930.8	B	This is a step or action (e.g., verification) in the processing of a document that moves it from one state (e.g., unverified) to another (e.g., unsigned).
.02	sequence	0;2	NUMERIC			This is the serial sequence in the processing of this document in which the current step should ordinarily occur.
.03	required	0;3	SET OF CODES	0:OPTIONAL 1:REQUIRED		Indicate whether this step is required or optional for completion of this document (e.g., Progress Notes must be cosigned ONLY when the author is a Medical Student).
.04	resulting status	0;4	POINTER	8925.6		This is the status of the document following completion of the step in question. For instance, if a discharge summary should attain the status UNSIGNED, following the verification step, this would be indicated here.
.05	condition text	0;5	FREE TEXT			Describe the condition under which an optional step will be required (e.g., cosignature of a Progress Note is required only when the author of the note is a provider in training, e.g., a Medical Student).
1	condition code	1;E1,245	FREE TEXT			This is a line of MUMPS code which imposes the condition by which an optional step must occur. It must modify the boolean special variable, $TEST, to indicate whether the step must occur. e.g., in the case where a medical student author's a progress note, the MUMPS code for the condition may look like: I +$$ISA^USRLM(TIUAUTH,"MEDICAL STUDENT")
