How do I preview a documentation packet before I download or email it?

The packet window previews the real PDF on the right as you choose what goes in it; nothing is sent or recorded until Download PDF or Email packet.

Short answer

Open the packet window (tick visits on Billing and click Export packet, or Export packet on a client, caregiver or visit). The Preview on the right is the packet itself, drawn by the same build as the download, and it redraws a moment after each change. Nothing is saved, recorded or sent until you click Download PDF or Email packet.

Step by step

  1. On Billing, tick the visits you want and click Export packet. It is also on a client, a caregiver and a visit.
  2. Pick a Layout, or tick what the packet should contain.
  3. Watch the Preview on the right. It shows how many pages the packet has.
  4. Open Customize this packet to change sections, the signature, branding or your own fields. The preview follows.
  5. Click Download PDF or Email packet when it looks right.

Good to know

  • Large packets The preview draws the newest few visits and says how many the full packet has. Every visit prints the same way.
  • On a phone switch between Compose and Preview at the top of the window.
  • Preview stuck? click Refresh above it. Your choices are kept and Download still works.
  • Invoice packets built from the Invoices tab do not show a preview.
