Changing lab slip due time.

Post by ForrestGumpDDS » Fri Sep 07, 2018 8:03 am

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the way to change all my lab slips to the 10AM time.
No it shows 5PM by default.
Unless the assistant edits the time manually, the cases show 5PM.
This creates issues when we miss out and do not allow for extra day for the lab.
The lab is on time, the case is on time, the patient is scheduled on the day of the case.
I went into "sheets" and see that the time is defined by the "labcase.DateTimeDue" variable. If I am correct, how do I change its value?
Thanks.

Are you asking how to make all lab cases default to be due at 10 AM? It turns out that the 5 PM due time is hard-coded into the program.

yes, correct, I want to re-hard-code it to another time.
Do you think I can do it by changing the value of certain variable in mySQL?

No, you would have to recompile the Open Dental source code to change this. Or submit a feature request to have us change it. :)
