AVImark Tip #4: Choose Your Default Field in the "Enter Medical History" Window

By Barbara Betsch

Since everyone enters information differently in their practice management software, AVImark veterinary software can be customized to fit your individual preference.
Some people add history entries by code, while others add history entries by descriptions. To accommodate these differences, AVImark has an option that will allow each user to select the default field for the "Enter Medical History" window.

To set this option:
• Go to wrench icon on the tool bar, which will take you to the Advanced Options of Hospital Setup
• In the search window, type: Default to Description Field When Opening the Enter Medical History Window
• Left click on this phrase to highlight it
• In the default value, left click the "Change" button
• In this window set the default choice for the entire clinic, and click "OK"

If one user prefers the other default, he or she can select a different default:
• Under the ID-User-Value portion of the screen, right click "New"
• Choose the user, and his/her individual value
• The default will also be displayed. Click "OK"
• When all individual preferences have been added, click "Done"
• Log off AVImark, and then log back on

Our goal is to provide versatile features to help save your practice time and money. If you need assistance with this or any other AVImark feature, please contact our friendly technical support staff.
