Note: You will need to be logged in as the user who wishes to use this list to be able to complete the below instructions.

Adding Entries

1. Open a patient’s clinical record and then select the Save button in the top right corner of the window
2. Once the Select Items to Charge window opens, please select the Add Items to List button.
3. Enter the Item Number that you wish to add to the list
4. Select Yes to the prompt that appears
5. Continue the above steps until all desired item numbers have been added into the list

You will need to do all of the above instructions for each user that wishes to have the Items to Charge window to appear when saving out of the patients clinical record.

Removing/Ordering Entries

1. To remove an item, an item in the table needs to be highlighted and then you simply need to select the Remove Item button.

2. To change the order of the entries click on the entry you wish to move and drag it to the new desired location in the list

Once you have activated the Items to Charge window each time the doctor saves out of a patient's clinical record they will now be presented with the 'Select Items' window. The doctor can tick/untick any desired item numbers as well as add an additional message to reception staff.

Note: The Items to Charge window will only appear if you enter the Clinical Window via the Appointment Book and the patient has not yet been invoiced for that day (indicated by no dollar value in the Invoice column of the Appointment Book).

To add a message to reception staff, you can do so by typing into the field on the right hand side of the window, above the text Message to Reception. If this message will be used regularly you can save it in the drop-down menu by selecting the Save in Menu button. Any text entered in this area will appear beside the patient's name in the Appointment Book bound by square brackets, e.g. [Follow-Up Appointment please].

When a new invoice is opened the item/s will automatically populate in ‘Item/s to charge’ box with the note in red beside it. Selecting the Add Item to Invoice button will then automatically add those items to the invoice.

Note: If an incorrect item has been selected double clicking on the item number in the Item/s to Charge box will remove it.

To deactivate the Items to Charge window, you simply need to:

1. Navigate to File > All User Preferences
2. Double-click on the user you wish to activate this window for
3. Select the General tab
4. Remove any numbers that are entered in the Default Item Number field. This field can be located on the left hand side, near the centre of the window.

   Note: If any number (including 0) is entered in the Default Item Number field, the Items to Charge window will continue to appear when saving out of the patients clinical record.

5. Save out of the User Preferences window and the All User Preferences Window.
6. This should have now deactivated the Items to Charge window from appearing when saving out of a patients clinical record.
