A file must be selected BEFORE choosing this command. This command will not change the priority of a dictation if the file is currently assigned to a transcriptionist or QA editor.

Date Range/Calendar Control

The Report viewer opens displaying all ready documents regardless of date uploaded. Changing the view "Archived" or "All" jobs will narrow the results to jobs that were uploaded within the date range defined in the date range bar. The Report Viewer automatically enters a default date range of 14 days. This range can be changed manually or by using the calendar control.

Clicking the calendar button opens the calendar control. This calendar can be used to select a date of range of dates to be displayed. To select a range of dates, left click on the first desired date. Hold the left button down while dragging the mouse pointer across the dates to be included. The selection can go across months (you can select grayed dates). When the desired range has been selected, release the left mouse button. The calendar is automatically closed and the range applied to the date range fields. The data grid is automatically updated with this new date information.

Dates can be manually entered into the date fields if preferred. After changing the dates in either field, press the Enter key or click the refresh button to apply the new date range settings and refresh the view.
