Tab Options
Search Tab
The Search feature is used to limit the information displayed in the appointment schedule area. For example, to work with only a single provider and clinic facility, or when looking for a specific appointment type, as defined in the Template.
Selecting the Search tab presents a screen containing several selection frames. Initially, the schedule area of the screen is blank until the selection frames are either set with the search criteria, or the defaults are accepted and the [GO] button is clicked to activate the search.
Intellect displays appointment columns in Day, Week, and Month views. The display starts with the current calendar day moving forward, but is based on search criteria entered or configured in a second frame. The default starts with all appointments for all providers selected in all facilities for all days, both a.m. and p.m., displayed three columns at a time. The view and search criteria may be adjusted.
View after a Search
As can be seen above, the default screen includes
• The schedule search parameters frame
NOTE: To temporarily remove the schedule search parameters frame from the screen so only the provider column listings show, click on the divider's right arrow (see red arrow below). To restore the schedule search parameters frame, click on the divider's left arrow (see green arrow below):
The location of the divider may also be adjusted by mouse-clicking anywhere on the divider to display a double-ended white arrow (see white arrow above), holding down the mouse left button, and then dragging the divider with the mouse to the desired location.
1. The providers’ available schedules may be viewed, depending on the various search criteria. The above example shows the columns in the Day tab view.
2. The amount of columns per frame is determined by the Columns/Page drop-down in the schedule search parameters frame (see red arrow below). Depending on the number of providers selected, the columns are scrollable so that all may be viewed.
3. The display for these columns starts at the current calendar date and can be searched forward by the amount of columns per page using the arrow at the bottom of the next frame (see green arrow in example above).
3.1 The view may be moved forward and then back, but NEVER to a date that precedes the current calendar date.
4. The option to change the view by pressing [1], [2], or [3] on the top portion of the key board is also available. See Day tab view for detailed information.
5.1 The primary way to make additions or modification to the appointment schedule in the Search view is from the right-click/context menu pop-up.
5.2 To display the menu, click on the appropriate time slot within the patient column and then right click. For example:
5.2.1 Click on an empty time slot and select Add to display the Add Appointment screen.
5.2.2 Click on an existing patient appointment for other modification options.
5.3 See right-click (context) menu for detailed information.

5.4 Instead of using the right-click menu, type 'A' in an empty time slot to add a patient, OR type 'M' in an existing patient appointment to make modifications.
