Workstation Prefetch

Workstations that have a fixed IP address and a defined computer name can be registered in the Devices table, and can define a worklist filter for auto-routing studies before a user logs in and loads them in the viewer. When the workstation is turned on, connected to the server and has prefetching enabled, auto-routing is active, even when no user is currently logged on at the workstation. When a user is logged into the workstation, the auto-routing filter is combined with the user’s personal prefetch filter. The prerequisite to workstation prefetching a workstation must be registered on the Devices page. Once the workstation is registered, it appears on the list of destinations available when setting up a Forward action.   

See: Auto Forward (Configure Forward)

Activate workstation prefetch from the Prefetch tab in the Customize Settings panel in the eRAD PACS viewer. Once enabled, prefetching begins after the next prefetch refresh cycle expires, which is typically between 5 and 30 minutes.
