FOLDER PATHS- Set default locations for the following folders:
 
Path to PDF documents:  When saving a PDF version of a report or Rx, this is the default location when asked to save file.
 
Path to PATIENT PHOTOS: If you are capturing patient photos to include in the PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS screen, this is the default location.
 
Path to DATABASE BACKUPS: The default location where ezBackup stores backup images of your database.
 
CUSTOM LISTS- Throughout ezScriptWriter, there are various lists and choices that can be customized.  You may edit or add to these lists by:
 
  1. Selecting list to edit in the dropdown box at the top.
  2. Clicking on the item to edit, or alternatively, selecting the NEW button to add an item to the list.
 
REPORT SETTINGS- Allows the default report for each Rx type to be selected, as well as setting a default title.  The four main Rx categories are: Blank Rx, Medication Rx, Spectacle Rx and Contact Lens Rx.

Diopter steps, (applies to spectacle and contact lens Rx’s).

The default for fine movements is the left button (i.e. clicking with the left button increments or decrements the power by the default diopter step amount; the right button  “jumps” to the clicked location.
 
Auto copy selected contact lens brand from right eye to left (default is true).
 
Save all new Rx’s to LOGBOOK.  Default is true; can be overridden when creating Rx with the Rx wizard.
 
Set default fonts for the Rx data being inserted into reports.  This can be modified if your reports are exceeding a full page when Rx data is inserted.
 
Default Rx WIZARD TOOL start-up Rx type.  When the WIZARD starts, this is the Rx that is pre-selected.
