Using the Calendar

The date fields on the Patient Search window allow you to enter a date. You also have the option of using the calendar to select today's date, a date in the current month, or a date in prior months or years. Fields that provide a calendar option are Admission, Discharge, and Date of Birth.

Note: When cursor focus is on the calendar, you cannot complete a transaction from the HPF WebStations by pressing Enter. You must click back in the application or select a calendar date.

To use the calendar to select a date:

On the Patient Search window, click on the calendar icon next to the date field you want to enter.
If the date you need is in the current month, click on the appropriate day, or use one of the following options:

If the date you need is in another month, click on the down arrow for a list of months, or click on the left arrow to scroll through prior months. (The system shows the previous month for each consecutive click.) Use the right arrow to scroll back. Stop on the month you need and select a date.

If the date you need is in another year, click on the down arrow for a list of years. Select a year from the list. Scroll through the months and click on the day you need in the appropriate month/year.

If the date you need is in the current month but you have navigated to a different month, click on the Today is... date at the bottom of the screen. Click on the appropriate day.

The system fills the date field with the date you selected and closes the calendar.
