How to batch action a selection of Recalls 

1. In the HotDoc Dashboard, head into your Clinical Reminders or Results section.
   
   
2. You will notice checkboxes on the left side next to each recall. Select the checkboxes next to the recalls you wish to action then Edit selected:
   
   
   
   
3. Select the drop down menu to be shown the options available for batch actioning:
   
   
   
   
4. In the example below, we wish to batch action a number of recalls so that they go straight to the 'Done' stage. To achieve this, Mark as Done is chosen as the option in the drop down menu:
   
   
   
   
5. After selecting the action, you can choose to add a comment to all patients in this selection. To achieve this, click the Add a comment? box and type your comment. You can then click Save to finalise your batch action:
   
   
   
   
6. Some batch actions will take a little while particularly if you are moving a very large list of patients to a different state. You can click Back straight away to go back to working on your recalls list while HotDoc continues to finish actioning the recalls in the background:

   And if you click on one of the individual patients, you can see the comment added in blue text and the successful action:
