Attribution Type Fields

 

Attribution Types and WorksheetFields can be searched by entering the ID or partial description. This will initiate a search in the attribution tables. For example, if a practitioner Langdon, Chris' has an ID of 0345, the practioner can be retrieved by entering 0345, whereas the description can be searched by just entering Lang or L. When a single record is found matching the entered value, the field will be popuplated.

 

When multiple records are found matching the entered value, a pick list will be displayed allowing selection of the appropriate one. You can select the one you want by double-clicking on it or highlighting and pressing the Enter key.
