About picklists

Use a picklist to quickly and easily enter information in the clinical template of a clinical record. A picklist has a list of text items. When you select a picklist, you can select a text item, which adds it to the clinical template. Thus, it is not necessary to manually enter the text each time.

A practice manager usually configures a picklist and its text items. Other staff cannot change the picklist’s text items. Thus, the sections of a clinical record that use picklists with clinical templates have good-quality information.

Practice managers can use a picklist to make a question-and-answer system for clinical templates. For example, they can configure a picklist to show the question What is the patient’s diet? The answers that a staff member selects could show:
  • Dry food
  • Wet food
  • Mixed

Example question and answers of a picklist
Note: A question of a picklist can have a maximum of one more question. If it is necessary for a question to have more than one question, make a different question as an alternative.

Picklist selection in a clinical template

A practice manager can configure a clinical template with many picklists. Staff members can select the Tab key to quickly move to each picklist location in a template.

Picklists and shorthand text

You can use the source text format of a picklist as the replacement text of a shorthand text item. As a result, ezyVet shows the picklist when you enter a shorthand text item.

Picklists and medication instructions

A practice manager can configure a medication's instructions to use a picklist. Then, when a staff member selects the medication in a clinical record, ezyVet shows the instructions and picklist.
Note: To use the picklist when ezyVet shows it in medication instructions, you must first put the cursor before the initial text. Then, select the Tab key:
The Medication Prescription dialog box and the medication instructions

Picklists and template variables

You can use ezyVet’s template variables with picklists. For example, you can use the {AnimalName} template variable to automatically show the patient’s name. To add a template variable to a picklist, use the picklist’s source text format.
