Set Up School List

Use the School table to maintain the list of schools attended by your patients. The table includes the name, address, phone number, and several user-defined fields.

How to Get Here

ViewPoint main menu > System Tables > Patient > School.

You can also open your School table by clicking the [G] beside the School field on the Milestones tab of a patient folder.

Choose Your Settings

Choose Record to Work With - Use the Previous and Next buttons, or the dropdown button at the bottom of the table window to choose an existing record to work with.

Create new school - Click New. Then enter the school's details, described below.
Edit school - Select a record to work with. If you just created a new school, that record is selected automatically.
- Name, address, e-mail & phone - Enter the school name, as well as the address and phone number. If you select the zip code from the drop down list while the city and state fields are blank, the appropriate city and state will be filled in for you automatically. Also note that electronic insurance submission requires the state be entered in standard 2-letter postal abbreviation format. (See "Set Up Zip Code List" for details about entering your local cities, states, and zip codes.)
- User-defined fields - Use the User Defined Fields table to set up the captions, or names, of unique fields available in several types of records, including fields in your Patient and Responsible Party records, your Employer, Assistant, and Insurance tables, your Office Contacts list, and your patient identification fields. See "Set Up User Defined Fields" for details. We suggest you customize the school user-defined fields to include a contact name, and information about upcoming breaks in the year (i.e. Winter Break, Spring Break, Last Day).
- Inactive flag - Once you create a record, you cannot delete it. You can, however, flag it Inactive. Inactive records cannot be selected for your patients.
View patient list - Click View Patient List button at the bottom of your table to view and optionally print the list of patients assigned to this school.
Save your changes - ClickExit to save the changes you have made and close the editing window.
