WOW - How Many Texts?


Fun Fact: In the last 12 months FLEX users combined, sent over 1 million text messages to patients (1,007,179 to be precise 😎).


Are you making the most of text messaging in FLEX?


Just look at what FLEX can send:


  • Appointment reminder
  • Appointment confirmation
  • Ad-hoc patient record messages
  • Reminder messages
  • Specs ready/order status messages
  • Marketing messages


If you would like to learn more about SMS text messaging or create an account, please send an email to support or open a ticket

 

New Merge Fields


We have added four new merge fields to the word processor this week:


  • TestRxPreviousRightAdd
  • TestRxPreviousLeftAdd
  • TestRxPreviousIntRightAdd
  • TestRxPreviousIntLeftAdd


Patch 094 will need to have been installed before you can access these new fields.

 

The following knowledgebase links have been hand-picked in response to support calls we received this week:

Appointment Diary: 'Find Free Slot'


Did you know it's really easy to find the next available appointment in the diary with the 'Find Free Slot' tool?


Accessible from the top menu in the diary, simply select the parameters you would like to match and then click the magnifying glass to search.


Dates with available appointments are listed below, selecting a date will display the available times - double click a time to open the booking window.
