Configuration
Next you're going to see the icon for Auto Text Extender on the right side of your browser bar. Click on that extension icon and a website will appear where you can enter a shortcut and the long text to be associated with the shortcut. There are some defaults there that may prove helpful when crafting your own shortcuts.
Use
A shortcut that I created for myself: jud8 %d(MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a), JU
Which results in the following when using the shortcode: May 2nd 2019, 9:12:21 am, JU
Once you've created your shortcut, you're going to need to "seed" the shortcut in Vetter. Using the example above:
Type in jud8^ (jud8<shift-6>) where you'd like the text to appear in Vetter (medical note, new communication etc.)
Backspace over the jud8^ text
Type in jud8 again and the long text for the shortcode will automatically populate
