The EPIC1 team and Washington University Information Technology will perform the quarterly EPIC Feature Release on Sunday, November 12, between 12:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m.
Temporarily Unavailable Customization Options
The below listed common workflow customization options of EPIC will be temporarily unavailable from Friday, November 10, at 5:00pm, until the end of the feature release on Sunday, November 12, at 3:30 a.m.
These include anything which involves modifying how Epic looks. We have included information regarding what will happen when you try to perform that task during this time and what you can do in the interim.
Moving Activities to a Sidebar or Floating Window
You will be unable to move activities, such as the Notes, Coding Sidebar, and CDI Review to a floating window or sidebar.
What to do: View windows where they currently reside. You can utilize floating windows after the feature release is complete.
Creating or editing filters in Chart Review
An error message appears when you try to create a new filter in Chart Review or try to edit a filter that is already used in Chart Review.
What to do: If you see an error message when attempting to add or edit a filter, close the error message and continue your workflow. The changes that you made before the error message appeared aren’t applied to Chart Review. Use Chart Review as it is currently set up and make any needed changes after the feature release completion.
Applying filters in work lists
An error message appears when you try to add a new filter to one of your workqueues or try to edit a filter that is already used on a workqueue.
What to do: If you see an error message when attempting to add or edit a filter, close the error message and continue your workflow.

Use your workqueues as they’re currently set up and make any needed changes after the feature release completion.
Customizing advanced settings for Charge Router Reconciliation and Routed Charges reports
During the lockdown, the Advanced tab doesn’t appear when you create or edit a Charge Router Reconciliation or Routed Charges report.

Creating, Editing, and Sharing NoteWriter Macros
If you attempt to create a macro or save changes to a macro during the lockdown, an error message appears. Additionally, the Owners/Users tab in the SmartBlock Macro Editor is read-only during the lockdown, so you can’t add owners or users for the macro.
What to do: Wait to make your changes, create macros, or share macros until after the feature release is complete.
Creating or editing QuickActions
When you create or edit a QuickAction in In Basket, an error message appears indicating that the QuickAction is locked. Note that there are two different error messages that can appear.
