Much of the information within MB3 will be displayed in lists (eg patients, procedures, items), such as this:
The title of the list is at the top of the screen (Procedures) after which is displayed the number of records being displayed of the total number that are in your database (7687 of 7688 in this example).
Below this are the menu items :
• WIndows Menu : used for navigating to any open window.
• Select : altering which records are to be displayed.
• Query : to open a searching screen and execute previously saved queries
• Built-in reports : to run reports that are provided with MB3.
• Custom reports : to construct, edit and run reports - see section on creating your own reports.
• Views : used to switch between different views of your list.
• Autolink
• Action
• Pencil symbol to indicate whether you are in read only or read write mode.
The Autolink Menu
The Autolink menu is a very powerful feature of MillerBiller3. It enables you to quickly navigate to related records from your main table. For example, if you have a list of one or more patients open, you can choose "Invoices" form the autolink menu, and you will be presented with all invoices that are associated with the selection of Patients you have in your patient list. Select "Receipts" from the Autolink menu from the Invoice list and you will be presented with all associated receipts for the selected invoices. The "Autolink" menu is found on form entry screens and list windows. This saves you from writing queries or filling in fast find fields. You will find that retrieving the information you require in MillerBiller3 is very fast.
Fast Find Fields
Create your own Fast Find Fields. The Fields at the top of the list may be configured by the user to any of the fields in the table or related tables. When you choose a field containing a doctor, patient or payer etc. a calculated name containing the last and first name will be used, so your entry will find on either/or the first and last names.
You may have up to twelve (12) fast find fields. You can also combine several fields into one fast find so that the system will search on each of the fields defined to find and display a selection of matching records.
You can create a fast find definition for each of the views you define with your list inspector.
Views
For each table list, you may create multiple views. You may attach a query, and sort order to a view. Each view has the desired columns displayed from the main table or related tables. You can define them by simply dragging from the Available Columns list to the Included Columns list.
You may also define the colours, fonts, styles, headers, alignments and footer totals for numeric columns.
