Calendar finder UI

Hi All,

A new UI for searching the calendar is done. It will only appear if you’re using the new calendar UI. I didn’t want to step on the toes of any other search functionality. Although it seemed the old search code didn’t work. The search results simply allow the user to view/edit the appointment it found.

I decided on a simple list with one function per search result. It could have been easy to make a click on the patient name do one thing, click on the date and something else happens, click on the provider… something else. I’m a subscriber of ‘Keep-It-Simple-Stupid’ (KISS) to minimize confusion in a user interface. Thus we have a list of search results with one purpose: edit/view an existing event.

There are more features I’d like to build into this search but for now this will do just fine.

PS - Enjoy the new ‘search spinner’ I added to this search and also the patient-finder stuff.

Hi
  It looks and works real nice.  One quick not though, on the patient finder list results could there be some kind of indicator if the patient has an outstanding balance?
I also notice that when I click on Help it comes up blank.

Thanks
