Prescription

Overview

Learn how to generate professional medical prescriptions that include:

• Organized information in tables
• Dynamic patient and doctor details
• Proper date formatting
• Digital signatures

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Design the Basic Layout

Create a professional header with:

• Your medical practice logo
• Basic information
• Any required illustrative elements

2. Create the Prescription Table

• Insert a table:

  • Go to the Insert menu
  • Select Table
  • Create a table with appropriate dimensions (e.g., 6x3)
  • Add column headers

• Add dynamic data:

  • Insert Carbone tags for dynamic content
  • Example: {d.pres[i].name} for medication names
  • Use [i+1] notation for array iteration (e.g., {d.pres[i+1]})

You can enhance table appearance by applying styles from the Table Design menu.

3. Implement Aliases for Better Code Readability

• Define aliases using #:

  {#doctorPR = d.doctor.profile.personal}

• Reference aliases using $:

  {$doctorPR.name.f}

4. Handle Dates Professionally

• Current date insertion:

  • Use {c.now} for current UTC date
  • Apply the :formatD formatter with specific patterns
  • Example: {c.now:formatD(LLLL)}

• Future dates:

  • Use :addD formatter for date calculations
  • Example: {c.now:addD('15','day'):formatD(LLLL)}

5. Add Digital Signatures

• Insert a placeholder image
• Configure dynamic signature:
  • Right-click the image
  • Select View Alt Text
  • Set the path: {$doctorp.signature}

Technical Tips for Better Layout
