If importing a chart that has the same First and Last name as an existing chart in the database, SOAPware will replace the existing chart with the new chart that is being imported.  Before importing a chart, it is important that you ensure there are no other patients with the same First and Last name in the database that you do not want to replace.

First, the user will need to be in the Chart workspace. Click on SOAPware > Chart.

To open the Import Chart option, Click on Chart > Import.

The user will be prompted in the next window to select the location of the chart to import. Locate the chart on the computer. To select an individual chart, simply select the chart to import, and Click "Open."

To select multiple charts, the user can click on the individual charts he/she would like to include in the import while holding the "Control" button on the keyboard.

To select all charts, the user can click Control + A on the keyboard, and all of the charts in this folder location will be selected for import.

Click "Open" and all of the selected charts will be imported into the SOAPware chart rack and database.
