Recording Data with Different Dates within a Consultation

To record data with different dates within one consultation without having to move back to the Date on each form and overwriting the existing data:

  1. From Consultation Manager - Consultation - Options - Setup, select the Data Entry tab.

  2. In the Forms Default Date, select Specific and delete the date so that it is blank. With this setting, the cursor displays in Date field whenever a data entry is made.

  3. Select OK to save.

See Consultation Manager Setup - Data Entry for details.

Remember you can use the abbreviated date format when entering dates:

  • T - Today's date
  • D - Days, for example, type in '-3D' for a date three days ago.
  • W - Weeks, for example, type in '-1W' for a date one week ago.
  • M - Months, for example, type '-6M' for six months ago.
  • Y - Years, for example, '-1Y' for one year ago.

When you enter future dates, for example, dates for recalls, or Estimates Due Dates, simply enter the number and time frame, for example '9M' without using +.
