Using Additional Modules, Products, and Services > Additional Products > Using the Message Board > Setting Up the Message Board
When you select the Include Procedures option on the Messages tab, the procedure message is displayed on the message board, followed by a list of patients who are scheduled for that procedure.
For example, if you set up the message Congratulations on your new smile! for a Deband procedure, and Sarah P., Harry L., and Paul H. have that procedure scheduled as their primary procedure, the board displays the following: Congratulations on your new smile! Sarah P Harry L Paul H.
A patient’s primary or first selected procedure must match the procedure selected on the Procedure Setup tab to display on the message board.
