Basic data

For an animal, we can record several types of data.

In this chapter, we will present an example of entering basic data about an animal. The functionality is located in the menu Veterinary | Codes |​ Owner and animal codes tab Basic data.

TIP For more detailed information about the program forms, read in the PANTHEON VET Guide, in the chapter Basic data.

CASE DESCRIPTION The veterinarian or receptionist, upon the first visit of the animal to the veterinary clinic, first enters the animal into the code list, where they record the basic data for the animal as described below.

• The responsible person in the veterinary clinic enters the animal into the PANTHEON VET program by clicking the button + New, which is located in the function bar. 

• In the tab Basic data , the fields for entering new data are cleared, where the responsible person will enter the data about the new animal.
