Edit in Line Mode - DO NOT USE!

This is a note from the "Senior Navigator Strategist" at Cerner regarding a problematic option in the Medication List:
We recommend to not turning ON Edit on Line mode (EOL), as turning this preference ON will limit the amount of order details screen that the Physician or other clinician can view during the ordering/prescribing process. Currently, one is not able to modify multiple orders with common order details when the mode is activated. It is possible to do one of the following, but not both at once: either edit on the line mode, or edit multiple orders with common order details. However, in order to perform the latter, make sure that the edit on the line mode functionality is turned off by right-clicking on an order and making sure the Edit on Line mode is unchecked.

Bottom line: if your prescribing efforts seem to be completely whacked, right click on an order and make sure that the Edit on Line does not have a check next to it.
