User Level Viewing Preferences

History Viewing Filters

By default, the last 50 lines of history only will be displayed on an animal’s record. The system does calculate how many rows exist in total and the number of lines displayed can be edited, if required.

In addition:

  • User level preferences can be set to control what elements of an > animal’s live history are displayed by default for that user.  You > can choose to omit specific content types when viewing the > history. This allows the user to customize the initial history > display and filter out items such as dog food, toys, consent forms > or image links etc which are considered by some to clutter up the > display.

  • If items are omitted then the user is prompted with a message – see below - that this is the case and the filter can be removed to view the entire history, if desired, by clicking on the message.

To set up User History Viewing Preferences:

  1. Select History Preferences in the System Users Setup Menu.

  2. Select the username and type in the password (where applicable).

  3. Read last ### lines of history on initial display. 0 = System Default (which is 50 lines).

This option allows the user to display a customised number of lines, different to the default 50 lines. If this is left at zero, then the default 50 lines of history will be displayed.

  1. Tick the line types to be displayed by default for that user. If you choose to display stock and service (fee) lines, then these can be still be filtered to exclude specific Stock and Fee Analysis Codes for any user by default.

Temporary Viewing Preferences

You can also temporarily change these preferences at the point of viewing the history screen. To do so, right click on the bottom of the history display screen, to display the selection screen and tick/untick the relevant options. This will not change the default settings for that user and the settings will be cancelled when you quit that animal’s record.

If any lines of history have been omitted from the display, the following red warning bar will be shown at the bottom right-hand corner of the display. You can click on this warning bar to overwrite the filter and to redisplay excluded lines of history.
