Hey everyone, 

I have a question related to ranges. We are developing a vital function measurements table for clinical purposes in which we would like to mark measurements that are relatively high or low. 

In the templates, we can of course set a range but this is only one range. How do we do this if we want to set multiple ranges?

Thanks in advance

Hi, you can set these multiple 'and labelled' reference ranges  at run-time by populating the other_references_range attribute in the DV_QUANTITY class. https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/UML/latest/index.html#Architecture___18_1_83e026d_1433773265143_257597_8752

I theory you could set this in a template but Archetype Designer does not support this AFAIK.
