The sort can be performed in ascending or descending order. For example, if you would like to see the patients listed with the most recall attempts first, you would select Recall Attempts in "Descending" order. As you step through patients in the Recall Entry screen, these patients will display first. As you proceed through the list of patients you will see that their recall attempts will be a smaller and smaller number. The default is sorting by Patient Last Name. Sorting is more applicable to the Recall Report than it is to the setting of recall via the Recall Entry screen. However sorting will also affect this screen. Patients will be displayed in the Recall Entry screen according to the Sort Order.

All Recall SET Patients
Click the All Recall SET Patients button to include only patients who have recall set. Patients who do not have their recalls set will not be included.

Alphabetic Range
You may include a selected alphabetic range based upon the patient's last name. The default range is from A to Z.

Recall Date Range
This option will limit the qualified patients to those whose Recall Dates fall within a certain range. When this choice is clicked, two text boxes will appear for you to enter the From and To date ranges.

Recall NOT Set
This option will limit the qualified patients to those who do not have recall set. Any patients who do have recall set will be excluded.

Do Not Set Recall
You may have certain patients who you would prefer not to go out of your way to see again. When setting recall on the Recall Entry screen there is an option for flagging these patients. It is the Do Not Set Recall option. This choice on the Recall Entry Parameters screen will limit the qualified patients to those who have been marked with this choice.

Recall Deleted Date Range
When printing recall, you will have the option of indicating how many follow-up attempts you want to make before giving up. A recall follow-up attempt would only be performed if the patient did not respond to the previous recall mailing. When a patient has gone beyond this set limit of attempts, he or she will be deleted from recall. That is, his or her recall status will move from "Set" to "Not Set." This is called Deleting Recall and the date on which this is done is saved in the patient's record.
