The Hospital box and Department box shown in client contact records

In the General Information section of a client contact record, ezyVet can show a Department box, and always shows a Hospital box.

The Department box

If your ezyVet site has a department or business unit configuration, ezyVet automatically sets one of these for a new client contact record:

  • Your organization's database
  • A business unit of your organization
  • A department of your organization
The database, business unit, or department that ezyVet automatically sets shows in the Department box:
Department box
Note: After you make a client contact record, you can change the Department box selection. But a practice manager cannot specify the department, business unit or database that ezyVet automatically sets in new client contact records. If you want to specify the department, business unit or database, contact ezyVet customer support.

You can use the client's Department box information in different areas of ezyVet. For example, in the Records dashboard tab, you can use the Department filter to easily find client contact records of a department or business unit.

Note: If your ezyVet site does not have a department or business unit configuration:
  • The Department box does not show in a client contact record
  • ezyVet automatically sets the client's department to your organization's database

The Hospital box

The Hospital box shows a client's ezyVet hospital:

When you make a client contact record, ezyVet automatically sets the client's hospital and shows it in the Hospital box: To know which hospital to set, ezyVet uses the selected hospital that shows in the Hospitals section of one of these:
  • The settings for the database
  • The settings for a business unit
  • The settings for a department

The selected hospital that ezyVet uses in a client contact record has a relation to the client's database, business unit, or department. The client's database, business unit, or department shows in the Department box of the client contact record.
