Since VetView is accessed through a web browser, you can take advantage of the many built-in features of modern browsers. Here are some guides to things we think are useful when using VetView.
- Try right-clicking on things, especially when using the Accession Tree, the Result Entry area, and the Worksheet Screen. You'll often find advanced features and useful context menus.
- Open multiple tabs in your browser to access more than one VetView screen at the same time. You can always hold down the CTRL key while clicking on a link in VetView to open the link in a new tab. Give it a try.
- If the elements on the screen aren't fitting quite right, you should try increasing the resolution on your screen. Ask your IT support if you aren't sure how to do this. You can also hold the CTRL key down and scroll with the middle wheel of your mouse to zoom in and out on any screen.
- Although VetView will work with all browsers, we've found Google Chrome to consistently be the fastest and provide the best experience for VetView users.
