The administrator can define the data and name formats.  Date and time appears in worklists, reports, summaries and elsewhere.  Names appear in worklist, reports, and in notifications and prompts. 

To define the date format, go to the Settings page and scroll down to the Date Format section.   Using pull-down menus to select the format you want.  Set delimiters between the fields, such as a comma between the day and the year, or clear them if unwanted.   Note that the delimiter fields only support a single character.  After selecting the format, click on the Format button to save the changes.

Names appear in PracticeBuilder in one of two forms.  The List Format is a name on a list, such as the name of a patient, or physician on the worklist.  The Common Format is when the name appears in normal text.  PracticeBuilder provides a tool for formatting common names and list names.

On the Settings page, go to the Name Format section.  For both the common name and list name, select the name component from the pull-down list.  Enter the component separators, if necessary.  To leave a component empty, select <empty>.  When finished, click on Format.
