entering the information into the dispensing section every day.

For all scheduling functions, select the *Scheduling* tab.

* Select the drug you wish to schedule in the drug selector (as for dispensing)
* Choose the start date of the schedule. This is preset to today's date.
* Select the number of days (1-48) you wish to schedule for by sliding the bar right and left

For every day in the schedule, an item is added to the schedule list.
