Filters and Secondary Portals

Within the Clinical Dashboard you have the ability to set filters to the user's specific preferences.  

You will find the filter navigation button in the top left corner of each portal.  On the left will be the filter button, on the right will be the refresh button.  When default filters are set they will take effect each time a user logs into SpecVet.  

Located on the left side of the Clinical Dashboard is the Active Visits Filters.  On the right side of the Clinical Dashboard are the filter portals that can be navigated by the double blue arrow buttons located at the top right of the screen.  

Each Filter portal will list the filters that have been selected in the top right corner of each portal.

NOTE: The more filters that are set, the less information will be seen and may cause slowness in your dashboard refresh. 

The portals that are available for filtering are:

  • Active Visits
  • Appointments
  • Messages
  • Open Med Rec
  • Orders
  • Prescriptions
  • Triage

By selecting the "Filter" navigation button in each portal will give you a secondary window to set preferences in each area. (The more filters you select, the less information that will appear and possibly slow the refreshing of your Dashboard).
