Required Fields

Using Required Fields, you can prompt staff to complete certain fields on the Edit Patient Information and Add Family windows. You can also set conditions that require fields to be completed.

To manage which fields are required, choose "Setup" from the main menu in Practice-Web. Then, select "Required Fields" from the dropdown menu. The Required Fields dialog will appear.

To add a required field, highlight the fields in the "Available Fields" column and use the arrow key to move them in the "Required Field" column.

To set conditions, highlight the Field Name under the Required Fields and click on "Add" under Conditions. The "Edit Required Field Condition" dialogue will appear.

Select the Condition Type and add Condition Value, then click "OK" to save the conditions.

When a staff enters patient information, required fields are indicated with an asterisk (*). A message will notify staff of incomplete required fields on OK click. Staff can return to the window to complete information or proceed without completing information. If required fields are ignored, an Audit Trail entry is logged.
