Save time... with AVImark shortcuts!

By Bardara Betsch

Are you looking to save time?

Who isn't?

The old saying that time is money had never rung truer than in today's economy. Saving time saves money, so we designed AVImark Veterinary Software to promote efficiency by use of strategic shortcuts and streamlined processes. Here are some shortcuts that will help you use AVImark to its fullest capacity while saving time and money in the process:

Shortcut #1: Inserting glossy text in a notes window. Instead of using your mouse to insert the text of a glossy entry into a notes window in AVImark, simply type in the code of that glossy entry and then hit your shift key and your space bar. This will replace the glossy code with the glossy notes for that entry in the notes window.

Shortcut #2: Adding medical history entries to more than one patient. To add medical history entries to multiple patients that belong to one client, simply left-click on one patient's name and hit the F7 key (Function 7). Use your mouse to left-click and your Ctrl key to select or highlight all the patient names for which you wish to add medical history entries. Then right-click on one of the highlighted names and select the optioin to add: treatment, inventory and diagnoses.

Shortcut #3: Toggle between an open medical condition record and the CID. Open a medical condition recordm, use the ALT+M key combination to toggle between the medical condition record and the CID.

Shortcut #4: posting medical history to accounting. To quickly post medical history to accounting from the Client area, Patient area, or Medical History, simply hit the F8 key (Function 8).

Shortcut #5: Hiding the amount column in medical history. To toggle between seeing and hiding the amount column in medical history, use the Ctrl and the P key. This function is computer-specific.
