THE MAIN WINDOW - PATIENTS TAB

The Patients tab is where the list of patients can be found. It consists of:

a grid view which lists all of the patients
a search bar at the top of the list view - this search bar operated the same is the search bar on the Catalogue tab - see Searching for a Catalogue Item for further details.
an area beneath the grid view containing a number of buttons to perform various actions

The button bar at the bottom changes depending on which role is currently active (Standalone Edition only) - see Changing Roles for further details on roles. The Patients tab is not visible at all when operating under the Catalogue Browser role. When running the Database Edition, the visibility of the Patients tab is dependant on the settings in User Security.

Here is an example of the Patients tab when all features are available:
