To chart a condition
1. Select a patient.
2. If necessary, change the patient's provider.
3. From the Graphic Chart, click the tooth or teeth that you want to apply a condition to.
4. From the Procedure Codes panel, click Conditions, and then from the list, click the condition or conditions that apply.
5. From the Procedure Codes toolbar, click the Post button.
6. From the Charting toolbar,click one of the status buttons.
The condition is added to the Progress Notes panel and CON appears in the Status column.
