All users of VisionVPM should be entered into the Vet/User Names area and allocated codes. These codes are used to identify veterinarians, for example in patient histories and on drug labels. Entering user names also provides opportunities to track individuals' counter sales, to generate incentive programs or to facilitate trouble shooting with problem entries in VisionVPM. The use of user names can be made compulsory by going to Main menu > Maintenance module > Maintenance menu > System Maintenance > System tab and selecting:
The option to prompt to enter vet codes can be selected from System Maintenance > Client tab.
To Enter New User or Vet Names
Go to: Main menu > Maintenance module > Maintenance menu > Lookup Lists > General Lists > Vet/User Names.
Click Insert.
Enter a Code for the vets or users that is up to 3 characters long. Initials are generally used.
Select the Vet box if you are entering details for a veterinarian. When filtering client and sales reports by Vets, only Vet/User codes flagged as Vets will be displayed.
Optional: The Inactive box can be selected for any users or vets who no longer work at the clinic.
First name and surname should be entered into the Description field.
The colour of the background and the text in the appointment book slots can be selected for each user. When several vets are using the same consultation room throughout the day which us set up as a single column in the appointment book, this facilitates quick identification of which vets are linked to each appointment.
Enter the email address of the Vet/User.
Enter the Mobile number of the Vet/User. Please note : If the email address and the mobile phone numbers are entered, this will enable texting or emailing from the VisionVPM Diary.
