Overview

Actions include the ability to change a patient’s status to deceased or inactive, change the patient’s sex to neutered or spayed, print a rabies, vaccination or reminders certificate, create tasks, and disable the reminders for related items. Multiple actions can be assigned to the same item or to a bundle. Actions are meant to automatically do a task for you, so it not only saves time, but allows for information to not be forgotten.

Actions are triggered when a new record is created for the applicable inventory item. The "actions" field that appears when creating a new record will list all of the actions associated with that item. Specific actions can be disabled on a case-by-case basis by clicking on the "x" next to the applicable set of actions. You can also click the field "actions" field to add back any action that was removed.
