Text and table formatting of clinical records
You change the formatting of text and tables shown in clinical records. The applicable text and tables usually show in clinical summaries, comments, and notes of a clinical record.
For example, you can use bold text for important notes and headings for different content sections. And you can bulleted lists and numbered lists. The formatting gives you better control of how ezyVet shows clinical record text.
