|
| 1. | The People file is the primary file you will work on.
|
|
|
|
| 2. | Click on People on the Main Menu. Select and click on Add Update or Change People.
|
|
|
|
| 3. | You are now ready to add your first profile. Click on Insert Button. The boxes or data fields with asterisks are required information. You can add as much data as you want and continue to add more date at other times. There are no hard and fast rules, you can use as much or as little of the profile that works for your situation.
|
| For detailed instructions on entering profile data, click How To Enter A Profile.

|
|
|
|
| 1. | The List Window: this window (sometimes called a "browse" window) always displays a columnar listing of the contents of the file. For example, if you enter profiles on more than one person, this window will display a listing of all the profiles. It is the entry point for each file. The list window displays all records in the database. If you were looking at your prescriptions, this window will list every prescription you have entered.
|
|
|
| From the list window, you choose an action you wish to take (add/insert a new record, select a record and change data, or select a record and delete it). You can search for specific records or information from the List Window. If there are many records in the file, you can scroll up and down to see more records. Scroll bars automatically appear on the right side when there are more records to view. You can also adjust the column widths if you prefer. See below for help.
|
|
|
| 2. | The Add/Update/Insert Window: this window displays the contents of a single record. For example, a profile is a single record on one individual. It contains multiple categories of information and covers many screens of data, but it is a single record. The Health Profile record is large, so there are tabs on the side to move to different sections of the record.
|
|
|
| There are also several other database files which contain smaller records.
|
|
|
| The functions in Add/Update/Insert are the same: OK to save data that have been entered, CANCEL to not save the data and HELP.
|
| 1. | Manual Change: Position your cursor over a column line you wish to change. Move it until you see a double arrow and stop. Hold the left button and drag the column to the desired position; release the button. OR...
|
| 2. | Automatic Change: Position your cursor over a column line you wish to change and double-click the left mouse button. The column will automatically be sized to fit the length of the data held in the column.
