PACS Features & Constrains | HIS User documentation

Different PACS systems provide a wide variety of supported features and may also impose specific limitations.

Since the HIS platform aims to provide a unified user experience across multiple PACS systems, the platform abstracts and standardizes most PACS-specific differences.

However, some limitations cannot be unified across all PACS integrations due to inherent differences in the underlying systems. These limitations are explicitly reported so that integrators and users are aware of PACS-specific behavior.

The supported features and any PACS-specific constraints are available through the Get PACS Details operation under the features attribute.

Agent Constraints

Constraint	Type	Default	Meaning
`MaxCredentialsPerEntity`	`int?`	`null`	Maximum number of Credentials per entity (Identity or Visit). `null` = not limited / unknown.
`MaxActiveCredentialsPerEntity`	`int?`	`null`	Maximum number of active Credentials per entity (Identity or Visit). `null` = not limited / unknown.
`ActiveCredentialRequiresActiveEntity`	`bool`	`false`	A Credential can be activated only if its entity (Identity/Visit) is active.
`CheckOutRemovesVisit`	`bool`	`false`	Performing check-out causes the PACS to remove/delete the Visit.
`ExtensionFieldDateTimePrecision`	`int?`	`null`	Supported decimal places for fractional seconds in extension-field `DateTime`. `null` = unspecified.
`ExtensionFieldDecimalPrecision`	`int?`	`null`	Supported decimal places for extension-field `Decimal`. `null` = unspecified.
`IdentityModifiedSinceSupported`	`bool`	`true`	`modifiedSince` filter is supported when listing Identities.
`VisitModifiedSinceSupported`	`bool`	`true`	`modifiedSince` filter is supported when listing Visits.
`IdentityExtensionFieldsSupported`	`bool`	`true`	Extension fields are supported for Identities.
`IdentityCredentialExtensionFieldsSupported`	`bool`	`true`	Extension fields are supported for Identity Credentials.
`IdentityPinExtensionFieldsSupported`	`bool`	`true`	Extension fields are supported for Identity PINs.
`VisitExtensionFieldsSupported`	`bool`	`true`	Extension fields are supported for Visits.
`VisitCredentialExtensionFieldsSupported`	`bool`	`true`	Extension fields are supported for Visit Credentials.
`VisitPinExtensionFieldsSupported`	`bool`	`true`	Extension fields are supported for Visit PINs.
`ExternalIdGloballyUnique`	`bool`	`false`	`externalId` must be globally unique across Identity+Visit (if `true`), otherwise validated only within the person type scope.
`InitialIdentityState`	`Inactive` `Active`	`Active`	Initial state for newly created Identity.
`InitialVisitState`	`Inactive` `Active`	`Inactive`	Initial state for newly created Visit.
`InitialCredentialState`	`Inactive` `Active`	`Active`	Initial state for newly created Credential.
