Adding or Removing Split Scroll Bars

Within PharmaClik Rx any screen or area that uses columns is referred to as a grid. Split horizontal scroll bars in many Inventory windows provide the ability to divide grids. This keeps one side of the grid static while you scroll through columns on the other side of the grid.

For example, the Purchase Order contains many rows and columns of data. By using a split scroll bar, you can keep the Drug Name displayed on the left side of the screen, while scrolling through columns of information on the right side of the screen. This way, you always know which drug you are looking at, without having to scroll backwards to double-check.

Split scroll bars are available in any window that has a black rectangle located to the left of a horizontal scroll bar.

The following windows/grids provide the split scroll bar feature:

  • Packs Available in the Drug folder Inventory tab
  • The Supplier section in the Drug folder Inventory tab
  • Shipment Details (opened from the Shipments feature in the purchase order or from the Shipments for Selected Pack Size window in the Drug folder)
  • Shipment Adjustments (opened from the Details function button in the Shipments for Selected Pack Size window in the Drug folder)
  • Order Pad
  • The Products on Order section of the purchase order
  • Purchase Order Detail (opened from the magnifying glass icon in the purchase order)
  • Recommended Products
  • The Orders tab in the Supplier folder
