Search for an AutoText

Searching for AutoText helps you quickly locate existing Templates, Macros, or Modules so you can reuse standardized content instead of recreating it. You can search by name, report content or shortcut and apply filters to narrow results, ensuring you find the correct AutoText for the anatomy, modality, or workflow. This saves time and supports consistent reporting.

You can access the AutoText Manager from either the Explorer screen or the Report Editor by selecting the AutoText tab.
