Customizing your View of Event Chronology

Version 14.19

Grid View vs. Lateral View

  • Choose a vertical Grid View or horizontal Lateral View by clicking either tab above the Event Chronology list. 
  • The Grid View displays the patient's patient register record and Ongoing Problem List at the top of the list, followed by each record entry in reverse chronological order. Single-click on an entry to view the full text in the sidebar. You can customize your view of the grid by clustering records together in the list by category.
  • The Lateral View displays each full entry side by side. Single-click an entry to view the full text in a pop-up window. Move the pop-up window to the side by clicking and dragging the title bar.
