Work List Creation and Demo Lists Work lists and demo lists are supporting lists to structure your reading processes. In this chapter, you have learned how to create a personal work list by using the corresponding filter criteria and saving it. In addition, you can create a demo list in a similar way, but it is independent of filter criteria and can be used when you want to share cases, for example during a later clinical session. DICOM Query / Retrieve & Data Import / Export With the Query & Retrieve function it is possible to search for patient data in other DICOM nodes and retrieve them for your system. The easiest way to open the Retrieve dialog is to use the shortcut, Ctrl + R. If you  want to retrieve additional datasets from a patient that exists in your data base, use the shortcut in the Patient Browser context menu, add the source for the query and select the necessary data. Typically, patient data is archived automatically (depending on your configuration).
