Introduction to the SpringCharts Main Window.

SpringCharts Networking Options Note:
SpringChartsServer must be running before starting SpringChartsClient since the client gets all of its data from the Server. You may run both the server and client on the same computer for testing purposes, but it is not recommended for actual use because running both programs on the same computer can slow down both programs. SpringCharts runs over standard (TCP/IP) networks. All you need to know is the IP address of the computer running SpringChartsServer.

Many tasks can be performed from the Main Window of SpringChartsClient (Networking Options) or SpringCharts EMR (Single Computer version). Click Here To See Main Screen In A New Window.

This window shows you appointments for the day in the middle section, your To Do/Reminders list on the lower left, your message list on the lower right, and your list of patients in the office -- the Patient Tracker on the top right.
