Adding & Managing Veterinarians
If you frequently work with the same veterinarians for your rescued animals, you can save keystrokes in entries you make in animal records by creating a predefined list of those veterinarians' names.
Here's an example of an entry in an animal record that includes a vet's name, where you can save keystrokes by being able to select that name from the dropdown list instead of having to type it in:
(Important Note: Each veterinarian you add to the list must be attached to an animal clinic, so you must first set up a record for each of those clinics.)
Adding a Veterinarian Name
-
On the TYR Home screen, click Veterinarians in the Customization section.
The Manage Vets screen appears, with an important note at the top stating that you must first create a record for the animal clinic or hospital with which the vet is associated. If the name of the clinic or hospital does not appear in the list on the left side of the screen, follow the procedures for Adding & Managing PCO Records, and then begin this procedure again to add the vet's name.
-
In the Clinics/Hospitals list on the left, click the name of the facility with which the vet is associated. (Note: If any vets are already set up in your TYR system for that clinic or hospital, their names will appear under Your Current List in the center grid.)
-
Click the blue Add button (
). The Clinic Vets screen appears, showing the name of the selected hospital or clinic and the empty Veterinarian field ready for you to add the vet's name.
-
In the Veterinarian field, type the name of the vet, e.g., Dr. Joe Banks. (Note: Sometimes different staff people at a clinic might administer a medication, vaccination, or procedure, so in addition to the names of the veterinarians, you might also want to create a generic selection of "Staff.")
-
Click Save. The Clinic Vets screen closes and you are returned to the Manage Vets screen where you can see the name of the vet you just added in the center grid under "Your Current List" and a confirmation message in the lower left corner.
