How to Add and Remove Tabs from the Activity Area in EXACT

 

 

Moving Tabs in the Activity Area for a Single User

  1. To start moving your tabs in the activity area of the chart, you will need to first select the spanner in the bottom right of the screen. If you cannot see this spanner, try navigating to the service list as some tabs do not show this spanner. If you still cannot see this, it may be due to your security level. Your manager should be able to do this for you. The other guide attached to this video explains how to do this without being logged in as the lower level security user.

3. In the next window, you can configure which tabs you would like to see. On the left are the available tabs, these are the tabs not currently being used on the activity area. On the top left are the upper tabs, these represent what would sit with the service list or nearer the tooth chart. The bottom left are the lower tabs, these represent the tabs that sit closest to the bottom of the screen. In the middle of this window are chevrons, right and left. The left chevrons move tabs from the activity area, taking them away and moving them into available. Right move them from available and assign them to either the bottom or top row. If you need to move tabs from the bottom to the top for example, simply move them to available and then move them back to the area you would like them. You can also order these using the arrows in the lower and upper tab areas. This is illustrated below.

Moving Tabs for Multiple Users

You may find you want to move tabs for a different user if that user does not have the security access to move them for themselves. Alternatively, if you are setting up several new users or changes multiple tabs in your practice, this area allows you to do this without having to log in and out of various accounts.

  1. Log in as an administrator/Super account.
  2. Go to Configure, and then User Settings
