April 2023    Tags: Mobile Access, Platinum, Tabs3 Connect

Did you know that text macros can be used in Tabs3 Connect? Text macros are used to help speed up data entry by maintaining a list of Macro IDs that expand out to full words or phrases when typed. For example, entering “PNG” may expand out to “plea of not guilty,” or “ATT” may expand to “attended.” Keep in mind that although macros can be used in Tabs3 Connect, they must still be added and modified in Tabs3 Billing or PracticeMaster.
