Comparing with the previous report and adding to it

Step by step putting a report next to the previous one, comparing before and after photos with a slider, and adding an addendum to a report that is locked after 24 hours.

Comparing with the previous report and adding to it

At a follow-up treatment you want to see what has changed. The treatment chart puts the report next to the previous one with the same template, and shows before and after photos on top of each other. A report is locked 24 hours after it was created; if you want to record something after that, you add an addendum.

Comparing with the previous report

  1. Step 1: Switch on comparing

    Open the report and tick Compare with previous report at the top. To the right of it you choose which earlier report you compare with; by default that is the previous report with the same template.

  2. Step 2: Look at the difference

    The findings of the previous report are now shown dotted on the drawing. Below the drawing, Salonnare counts what is New, what Remained and what is Gone, and names the findings that are gone. In the lists, too, you see what changed compared with last time.

Comparing before and after photos

  1. Step 1: Open the comparison

    If a side has both a before and an after photo, click Compare for that side.

  2. Step 2: Choose slider or side by side

    With Slider the two photos lie on top of each other and you move the line back and forth to see the difference. With Side by side they are shown next to each other.

Adding an addendum

  1. Step 1: See until when you can make changes

    At the top of a report you see until when you can change it. After 24 hours it says This report has been locked since with the date and time; the report itself can then only be read. In the list of reports you recognise a locked report by the padlock.

  2. Step 2: Add an addendum

    Scroll to Addenda and click Add addendum.

  3. Step 3: Write the addendum and save

    Type what you want to add, for example how things went after the treatment, and click Save addendum. The addendum is added as a separate line below the report, with your name and the date and time.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a report locked after 24 hours? A treatment report is a record. This way nobody can change anything afterwards unnoticed; whatever becomes known later is visible as an addendum, with name and time, below the report.

Can I change or delete an addendum? No. If something isn't right, add a new addendum with the correction.
