What are snapshots?

 

Snapshots are read-only copies of accounts or letters you send to patients or other third parties. They provide a reliable record of documents you have sent to people even though you may have modified the data in their account subsequently. They are like an electronic photocopy.

 

How do I view the snapshots?

 

Go to any account's Documents page and click the camera icon to view the associated snapshot. You can then zoom in or out or print a copy of the snapshot by clicking the right mouse button. There is a tick in the checkbox for any document which has an associated snapshot. If there is no tick, there is no snapshot.

 

How do I create snapshots?

 

Go to the Options, File Management page. In the Document Snapshots section, select 'Snapshot format'. If you have Access 2007 or later, you may alternatively select PDF format. Snapshots will automatically be created on your hard disk each time you print (not preview) an account or letter.

 

If you have Access 2007 or later and you can't view or create PDF files, you should install the free 'Save to PDF' add on from Microsoft. There is a link to this on our other software page.
