   Alternatively, you can enter the full title, or part of a title, of a report mnemonic in the Mnemonic window, eg type R_ and press Enter to find all system reports beginning with R _.

4. Or, you can enter a specific report title by typing the first few letters of a known report shorthand title in Mnemonic to display a specific report then press Enter, eg ALLCONS for All Consultations, ENCOUNTER for the Encounter Report.

   When you have the report index listed, you will see that there are a number of existing reports supplied with the software.

   For example, Encounter for an Encounter Report; All Medical History has a mnemonic of ALLMEDICAL.

   These are template reports which you can use as they are, or copy and edit them in whatever way you want.
