About Texture Types

The Textures screen allows you to view and manage the texture types in your account. Texture types can be assigned to resident/patient profiles and used in recipe extension grids, menu extension grids, menu reports and people reports.

Opening the Textures Screen

To open the Textures screen:

1. In your Core account, select Settings from the left navigation sidebar. The Settings panel appears to the right. 
    
2. From the Settings panel, select Dietary Settings > Textures. The Textures screen appears, listing the available texture types in your account. 
   
   

Unpublishing a Texture Type

When an account unpublishes a texture type, the following occurs:

• The unpublished texture type will not be available to be assigned to residents/patients.
• The unpublished texture type will still be available in recipe extension grids and menu item extension grids to allow you to extend the recipe with therapeutic substitute recipes. 

If a parent account unpublishes a texture type, then that type will be unpublished in its child accounts, but can be republished by the child account if need be. 

A texture type cannot be unpublished if it is currently assigned to a resident/patient. 

To unpublish a texture type, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    
2. For the texture type to be unpublished, click its ellipsis in the Actions column and select Unpublish (first screenshot below). The texture type is given a status of Unpublished (second screenshot below). 
   
   
   
   
    
   Note: If the texture type is currently assigned to a resident/patient in your account, then it cannot be unpublished. A message appears stating such, along with the number of people assigned the texture type. 
   
   
   
   If it is a parent account attempting to unpublish the texture type, and that texture type is assigned to resident/patients in one or more child accounts, then the texture type cannot be unpublished. A message appears stating that the texture type is currently assigned in child facilities, and lists the child facilities and the number of people assigned the texture type in each facility.
   
   

*The message only lists one diet type/texture type combination that is assigned, but does not list all the combinations that are assigned. 

Note: When a texture type is unpublished, that texture type does not appear on the Diets and Textures grid. 

Displaying Unpublished Texture Types on the Textures Screen

When a texture type is unpublished it is given a status of Unpublished. You can display unpublished texture types on the Textures screen using the filters. To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    
2. Click the Filters button to display the Filters slide-out panel (screenshot below),
   
   
    
3. Select the Show unpublished at your account check box. 
   
   Note: If an unpublished texture type is also set to be hidden from extension grids (see below for more information), then you will also need to select the Show hidden from extension grid check box to have these texture types display on the Textures screen. 
    
4. Click the See Results button to apply your changes. The Textures screen displays texture types with the Unpublished status.

Publishing a Texture Type

If a texture type has been unpublished, then it can be republished. If a new texture type has been approved for your account, then it will be unpublished. To publish a texture type, complete the following step

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    
2. For the texture type to be published, click its ellipsis in the Actions column and select Publish (screenshot below). The texture type is given a status of Published. 
   
   

Sorting How Texture Types Appear in System

You can sort the order in which the texture types appear in the system and reports. To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    

2. Click and hold the drag handle of a texture type to be sorted, and drag it up or down to the appropriate spot in the list. 

   
    

3. Repeat the above steps until you have your desired order.
   
   Note: The Regular texture type is positioned at the top of the list and cannot be sorted. 

Hiding/Showing an Unpublished Texture Type on Extension Grids

As noted, when a texture type is unpublished it will still be available on the substitute extension grids to allow you to extend the recipe with therapeutic substitute recipes. 

However, you can choose to hide an unpublished texture type from extension grids or not. 

Note: Hiding an unpublished texture type from extension grids only impacts your account. If you are a parent account (i.e., system account or corporate account) with child accounts, the texture type will not be hidden from extension grids in your child accounts. 

You can set an unpublished texture type to either be hidden or shown on recipe extension grids and menu item extension grids via its Include in Extension Grid check box. To access this check box, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    
2. Ensure the unpublished texture types are displayed onscreen (as per steps above).
    
3. For the unpublished texture type, click its ellipsis in the Actions column and select Edit (first screenshot below). The Edit screen specific to the texture type appears (second screenshot below).
   
   
   
   
    
4. To hide the unpublished texture type from extension grids, clear (i.e., deselect) the Display in Extension Grids check box. To display the unpublished texture type in extension grids, select the Display in Extension Grids check box. 
    
5. Click the Save Changes button to apply your changes. 

Displaying Unpublished Texture Types that are also Hidden from Extension Grids

When an unpublished texture type is hidden from extension grids, then you can display these texture types on the Textures screen via the filters. To do so, complete the following steps: 

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    
2. Click the Filters button to display the Filters slide-out panel (screenshot below),
   
   
    
3. Select the Show unpublished at your account check box and select the Show hidden from extension grid check box. 
    
4. Click the See Results button to apply your changes. The Textures screen displays unpublished texture types that are also hidden from extension grids. 

Changing Display Name and Description of a Texture Type

To view or change the display name and/or description of a texture type, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Textures screen. 
    
2. For the texture type whose name and/or definition you want to change, click its ellipsis in the Actions column and select Edit (first screenshot below). The Edit screen specific to the texture type appears (second screenshot below).
   
   
   
   
    
3. Change the display name as needed by editing the the Texture Display Name field.
    
4. Change the texture description as needed by editing the Description field.
    
5. Click the Save Changes button to apply your changes.
    
6. When you edit the Texture Display Name or Description, the field appears with a Revert to original link, which indicates the field has been edited, and can be clicked to revert the field back to the original of the parent account.
   
   

FAQs

Is there a way to see all default texture types in the system?

The default texture types are specific to your system, and as such cannot be listed here. Refer to the Standards & References section, where diet manuals and articles specific to your system and associated user profile are accessible.
