"Alternate Phone Number Options:" Overview The "Alternate Phone Number Options" are available to you at the Patient Get, Activity Add, Activity Get, or Activity Callback screens by entering 'Alt F1'. This feature gives you an additional 20 alternate phone numbers PER Patient. For each of the 20 phone numbers, you enter an area code and a descriptive phrase. Each description can be up to 40 characters. On the "Alternate Phone Number Options" Menu, you will observe options 1 and 2. ============== | OPTION 1: | ============== "1) Review or Dial from Telephone List" Option 1 displays a list of all phone number in the alternate list. If no numbers currently exist in your list, the program will display this message: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No additional phone numbers exist for this Patient. | | Before they will appear here, | you must first enter them into selection 2 of this menu. | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============== | OPTION 2: | ============== "2) Edit Telephone List" Option 2 displays a columnar, free form screen into which you enter this information: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | === Additional Phone Numbers: === | | AC Phone Number: Description: | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note that you enter the numbers without any other spacing or characters. The Area Code field, for example, is entered as '213', not '(213)'. The phone number field, likewise, accepts the literal seven characters that constitute the number, without any dashes or other notation. If, at the Install procedure, you indicate that you are outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, then the following logic applies: each Area Code/STD is up to 5 characters, while the phone number is up to 14.
