Move or remove a transcript in a session

Create a new session from one transcript, or discard a transcript you do not need.

Written by Dr. Harvinder Power

A session can have more than one transcript. For example, you record two patients in one session by mistake. You can move one transcript to a new session. You can also discard a transcript that you do not need.

Before you start

  • You must own the session.

  • The session must have two or more transcripts.

  • The transcript must be complete. You cannot move or discard a transcript while it records or processes.

If one of these conditions is not true, the buttons do not show.

Create a new session from a transcript

  1. Open the session.

  2. Select the Transcripts tab.

  3. Find the transcript that you want to move.

  4. In the transcript header, select the split icon. The tooltip is Create a new session from transcript.

  5. In Session name, type a name for the new session.

  6. Select Also discard this transcript from the current session if you want to move the transcript. Do not select it if you want to copy the transcript.

  7. Select Create session.

Motics shows the message New session created. The new session is in History. It contains a copy of the transcript and its recording.

Note: If you already made a session from this transcript, Motics shows a warning. You can continue. Motics makes another session.

Discard a transcript

Caution: You cannot undo this action. To keep the text, create a new session from the transcript first.

  1. Open the session.

  2. Select the Transcripts tab.

  3. Find the transcript that you want to remove.

  4. In the transcript header, select the bin icon. The tooltip is Discard transcript.

  5. Read the message. Then select Discard.

Motics shows the message Transcript discarded.

Note: A session must keep at least one transcript. You cannot discard the last transcript.

After you change the transcripts

The summary does not change by itself. To update the summary, regenerate it. See Versions & Regenerate.
