Help Introduction Welcome to the help system for the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS). Please use the Contents or Index to the left to find the information you are looking for. If the Table of Contents or Index tab is not visible, please use the information below to display those tabs. CPRS is now using a new help format that is based on Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The resulting help files might be slightly different than what you are accustomed to in the help file. However, the basic functions remain the same with the exception of the search tab, which is now a simple listing of items or phrasing used in the help. To find out more about the changes in CPRS v31b, please select the following: What's New in CPRS v31 Mission Act?   To find out more about how to use the new help system, please continue reading below. You can use the Contents, Index, or Search tabs to look for the item you want to find. The Contents tab has books and pages. Books are simply category markers and cannot be selected. Select a page to take you to the help topic. The Index is a list of terms you can read through and select to take you to a topic that contains that item or that concept. The Search tab is a listing of words, letters, or characters that occur in topics. It is generated automatically by the help software and may not be as helpful as the other two tabs for finding the information that you need. In this topic are the following instructions: Initially showing the Contents, Index, or Search Tabs Show or hide the Contents, Index, or Search Tabs after Initial Display Using the Contents, Index, and Search Tabs Can't See the Contents, Index, or Search Tabs?
