A few things in the top bar save a lot of clicks once you know them. They work on every plan.
Search everything
Click the search bar at the top (it says "Search patients, pages, invoices…"), or press Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on a Mac) or / from anywhere.
Search finds:
- Patients, by name, email or phone number
- Pages and settings, so typing "hours" takes you to Hours & closures
- Upcoming appointments, invoices, services and forms
- Help articles
Use the arrow keys to move through the results, Enter to open one, and Escape to close. You only see results your role is allowed to open.
Clinical notes are never searched, and Atlacare doesn't keep a list of your recent searches (they would often be patient names).
On a phone, tap the search icon in the top bar.
Create something quickly
Click + New in the top bar to start a New appointment, New patient, New invoice, New note or New message. On a patient's page, New appointment opens the booking sheet for that patient.
Keyboard shortcuts
Press ? at any time to see every shortcut. The main ones:
- c then a: new appointment
- c then p: new patient
- c then i: new invoice
- c then n: new note
- c then m: new message
- g: go to the Calendar
- p: go to Patients
- i: go to Invoices
- n: go to Clinical notes
In the note editor, Ctrl + S or Ctrl + Enter saves the note, and F turns focus mode on or off.
Shortcuts never fire while you're typing in a box.
Turn off single-key shortcuts
If you use a screen reader or speech input, or you keep triggering shortcuts by accident, open the account menu at the top right and switch Single-key shortcuts off. That turns off the shortcuts that use a single letter, ? or /. Ctrl + K still opens search.
Light and dark mode
Atlacare follows your device's light or dark setting to start with. To choose for yourself:
- On a computer or tablet, click the sun or moon button in the top bar.
- On a phone, open the account menu and choose Dark mode or Light mode.
Your choice is remembered on that device. It only changes how Atlacare looks to you: your public pages always look the same to patients.
