Hello, I’m trying to modify the encounter screen and at the moment when an encounter is opened, the default summary tab appears. Is there a way to open multiple similarly open multiple forms inside the same encounter?  
 ![07%20PM](https://discourse-uploads-openemr.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/d/d71aa19f08ccab2fa3e19152e10d0c1e782d9e2b.png)  
This screenshot shows what I’m trying to do, so basically when opening the encounter, rest of the forms are also opened automatically.  
Any idea? Thank you

I found the solution for this and if anyone might come across this same problem, edit the file in Interface-\>Patient\_File-\>Encounter-\>encounter\_top.php line #36. It gives the code segment to open one extra tab, just modify it to open the tabs you want and repeat it.
