In DaySmart Vet, the rabies and vaccine certificates will automatically print with the applicable provider's signature, if one is stored on file. For Tag number, and Lot number, ensure the rabies or vaccine medical record has that applicable information included. If the medical record does not have the tag or lot, the certificate will not have that information.
For more information about checking out, see Checking In and Checking Out Appointments. For more information about using actions, see Working with Actions.
A provider's signature can be captured from the provider's profile by clicking on "capture signature." The signature can be captured using any touch device, such as an iPad, or typed. Having the signature on file for each staff member will ensure that certificates are always signed when generated, see Managing Staff Accounts and Permissions .

Creating a Custom Rabies Certificate
Utilizing a letter template, a custom rabies certificate can be created. This is typically needed if the clinic, owner and recipient county information is required on the certificate. The rabies medical record needs to be added to the patients medical note for this function to work correctly. Follow the steps below to create a custom certificate:
Navigate to Settings > Templates > New Template
Select "Letter" as the type and name the template. The description is optional.
Customize the letter template to your clinic's needs. Click here to learn how to create a letter template if you need assistance.
To create a certificate that includes rabies and county information, you’ll need to use our hidden variables, which only function when the letter is generated from—and linked to—a Medical Note. Use the variables listed below by copying and pasting the rabies variable, along with any applicable county variables, into your letter template. These variables can also be found when uploading a new letter from a medical note. Once you've finished editing the letter, click "Save" above the variable list on the left.
{RABIES}
{CLINIC_COUNTY}
{OWNER_COUNTY}
{RECIPIENT_COUNTY}
The {RABIES} variable will include the medical record fields (“tag”, “item”, “lot no.”, “given date”, “due date” and “notes”
Once the letter template is created, you can select the letter from a patient's Medical Note > Documents > New Letter. If the patient has a rabies record added through the medical note, the record will be added to the letter along with the applicable county information.
