Child Care - Settings Menu
The Settings menu for Child Care users provides a way to set up defaults to expedite data entry by automatically populating drop-down menus and fields.
Two links are available in the Settings menu for Child Care users:
- Personal
- Forecast
Also see the Personal Settings chapter and the Forecast Settings topic in the IWeb Administrator Guide for additional information.
Personal Settings
Personal settings are used when adding new patients, to save time by automatically populating some of the patient fields. The two categories of personal default settings are Patient and User Preferences. These personal setting defaults automatically populate fields on the Patient Demographics and Vaccinations pages. To access the personal default settings, click the Settings > Personal menu link.
At the top of the Personal Settings page are a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. Click the plus (+) sign to expand all of the default settings, and click the minus (-) sign to close them. Alternately, you can open and close each section individually.
To access the fields in a section to enter information, click the Update or Add button for that section. Click Save when finished entering information.
