Every screen at a glance

A master lookup table of every major screen in Wattle Clinic, how to reach it, and where to learn more.

ForEveryone

A quick lookup table of every major screen in Wattle Clinic and how to get to it - grouped by area, with a link to the part of the guide that explains it in full.

How to read this: find the area you want in a heading below, scan the Screen column, then follow the How to get there column. The last column links to the chapter that walks you through that screen properly.

Use your browser's find (⌘F / Ctrl+F) to jump straight to a screen by name.

A note on what you'll see. Some screens only appear if a feature is switched on for your clinic, or if your account has permission. If a screen below isn't on your menu, that's why - it's optional, not broken. See Your team & permissions.

Quick notes

Your own reminders, not tied to an appointment - "ring the Smiths about the biopsy". Optionally tagged to a patient, and ticked off when done. Private to you: colleagues can't read, edit or resolve your notes, and you can't see theirs.

If a screen isn't where this says it is - your clinic may have it switched off, or your account may not have permission. That's normal. Ask whoever set up your clinic, and see If something looks wrong.
