I installed the application without difficulties and it works well. However I have a question. I tried to create an appointment using the calendar function. When I try to select a client for the appointment, the patient finder function doesn’t return any patient. The only way to create an appointment is to pass through the client profile.
Is it normal that the client finder function is not working?
Many thanks
Marc
Follow the instructions in this Wiki article to set up the Calendar if you have not done so already. The Calendar behaves strangely if it has not been properly set up. The other sections in the Wiki are very helpful as well.
If you are able to find a patient using the Find box on the very bottom of the Menu on the left of the screen, then you should be able to locate patients from the Patient Finder dialog in the Calendar module with a name lookup.
Which version and patch are you using?
For future questions as to whether the problem is with your copy of OpenEMR or whether there is a bug affecting all copies, experiment with the Demo. Bear in mind that the Demo can be unreliable as the day progresses because many users have altered it.
When adding or editing an appointment from the calendar, only the last name is used as a search parameter. Have you tried searching by last name? How about by phone number or DOB?
If you suspect a problem with new installation, try to replicate the issue using various demo sites. That will help rule out installation specific problems.
