Sometimes we are working so hard, we forget that we can work smarter.  Here are a few "smarter" tips (Note:  "PC" = PC keyboard, AM = Alpha Micro keyboard)

In any date field

  • Quick entry of dates, i.e. the letter "D" will give you today's date, "3D" = today plus 3 days, "2W" = 2 weeks from today, "M" = 1st day of current month, "Y" = 1st day of current year

Mouse - right click

  • To view and use the preset function menu to add, delete, etc.

Shift/F9 (Scheduler key)

  • To view today's scheduled patients

Shift -> (right arrow) and Shift <- (left arrow)

  • To jump to the beginning or end of a text line
"Since we bought [a] Datacon [system] in the early 80's, we have never had a day without Datacon up and running. That is 20 years of great service," Dr. Victoria Moore, Endodontic Associates - San Mateo.
