Expanding Patient Folders

Patient folders have either a plus (+) or minus (–) sign next to them:
A plus sign means that there are studies under that patient name. Click the
plus sign to display the studies. The plus sign will turn into a minus sign. To
hide the studies, click the minus sign.
A minus sign means all the studies for that patient are displayed (though you
may have to scroll down to see them all). To hide the studies and display only
the patient name, click the minus sign.
You can also expand or minimize the studies under a patient folder by double-
clicking the patient name.
