The "Recommendations" tab is used for prescribing to the patient the recommendations that should be followed after the visit. Recommendations can be made in two ways: in the form of a text or template. To add a recommendation in the form of text, enter its content in the text field and press the "+" button. If any recommendation was made by mistake, it can be removed by pressing the "x" button on the recommendation's content. Recommendations can also be entered by an appropriately defined form template or document template. The doctor creates templates of forms / documents for introducing recommendations. Because the scope of information depends on the type of visit and specialty, it is possible to create a lot of different templates (the way they are created is presented in the sub-sections "Form templates" and "Document templates"). To be able to fill in the form, click in the "Select template" field. Then a list of available templates for forms / documents will be developed (document templates has the "(PDF)" endorsement; templates in the patient's language are additionally marked with "+"). By clicking on the appropriate templates, you can select them (selected templates appear in the "Select template" field). If there is only one recommendations template and the surgery room configuration indicates that it is to be automatically selected or if the definition of the recommendations form template indicates that it is to be automatically selected, then such a template is selected systemically at the moment of entering the "Recommendations" tab. After selecting a template / templates, click the button with the "+" sign to display the forms corresponding to these templates in the recommendations tab. A header bar appears above each form with a field with the name of the form (for editing), the name of the template and buttons for saving the form with the disk icon and deleting the form with the "×" sign. Attachments can be attached to each template (the "Attachments" section is visible under the template form). You can attach one file or several files at once and the attaching operation can be performed multiple times (to attach subsequent files). After selecting the file / files from the disk, click the button with the "+" sign next to the file attachment field. When you click this button, a progress bar for uploading the file to the server will appear for each file. One have to wait for the files to be uploaded to the server. When the file is uploaded to the server, the progress bar disappears and the file name appears in its place with the selected checkbox. If the file was attached by mistake, then the checkbox should be unchecked so that the system ignores the given attachment when saving the data. After saving the recommendations, a button for printing a document with a printer icon appears in the header bar. If attachments have been attached to the document template, then those from the attachments, which are PDF or JPG files, are automatically attached to the document printout. PDF files are attached in their original format, JPG files are added to the printout on an A4 page with half-inch margins at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. If you have selected more than one template, only one form is visible with the header bar and for the remaining forms only headbars are visible - by clicking on the header bars you can switch between subsequent forms to be completed. The text fields in the forms corresponding to document templates have a built-in content filling control indicator: if the content entered in the text field takes up less than 90% of the space allocated to it in the document template, then the background of the text field is white, if it takes 90% to 95% of the space - the background changes to yellow, if it occupies between 95% and 100% space - the background changes to orange, if it takes more than 100% space - the background changes to red. After filling / modifying the form, save the recommendations by pressing the button with the diskette icon in the form header bar. After all the recommendations have been made, they should be printed out to the patient. Using the "Print recommendations" button, you can print recommendations made in the form of text and entered on the basis of templates of forms. On the print, along with the recommendations, information about the prescribed medicines and their dosage will appear. Recommendations are printed on prescription paper. Recommendations made on the basis of document templates are printed using the print icons visible in the tabs of the form headers with which the recommendations were entered.

The "Back" and "Next" buttons visible at the bottom of the tab allow you to switch accordingly to previous and next tabs in the visit card.
