Customizing alert notes

Alert notes allow you to create short note templates that you can add to the patient alert notes. Alert notes can be up to 50 characters in length, and you are limited to a total of 99 alert notes.

Note: Default alert notes are included with Dentrix. However, since the Alert Notes definition type takes the place of the Custom Notes definition type, Dentrix transfers any existing Custom Note types you had in your database to alert notes.

You can create, change, and delete alert notes templates.
