Setting the Admin Notes highlight


From the diagrams in this article, or in your Meddbase application, you may notice that when you view the Patient record or the Appointment home page that the Admin Notes field border flashes red.

This is related to a configuration setting Patient admin-notes highlight. This setting can be updated by you application administrator via Admin > Configuration > Application Controls.
