How Do I ... Pop Up important information on card.
Question: We are now getting dogs with blood group/typing, where do you advise that this information is stored on the animals file so it is obvious in a emergency that it has been typed?
Answer: Setup a Pop-Up Warning that draws the users attention to the screen.
Steps:
Use a User Defined Code, for example B1 to be
Blood Type: {.}
Have it updating the warnings screen and allocate the Analysis
code as appropriate for your setup. Note: Make sure the User Defined file
is set as a pop-up (see below).
Fees and Stock -> Utilities -> Analysis Codes -> User Defined
Select File: B
Edit Code: 1
Details: Blood Type {.}
Note: Make sure file 'B' (or whatever User Defined file you pick) is set to update Warnings screen (Once File selected - pick 'Change File Parameters' and make sure option 2 is set to Yes).
You could of course just enter %b1 when needed
but it is a little easier to add it to a macro so they user does
not need to know about metatcharacters etc.
Fees and Stock -> Utilities -> Edit/Add Macro Macro To Add/Edit: btype Name: btype Description: Blood Type Details: %b1
Now when you 'sell' btype, you get prompted for the type, a note will be added to clinical screen and a warning will be added.
To ensure it is obvious, set Pop_MR_Warning = 202 in params.txt. (Change the 202 to one of your more obvious colour codes).
