Messages

There are many interactive messages within CGM webPRACTICE. The most common are:

• Informative/Confirmation Messages- These occur when CGM webPRACTICE requires you to acknowledge or confirm the action. The standard message options available are; Yes, No, OK, Save, Cancel, or Proceed. Click the appropriate option to continue.
  
  
• Warning Messages- These occur to inform you to correct 'incorrect' data that you entered in a field. The warning messages display immediately after the incorrect data has been entered. You do not have to wait until you have completed all of the fields in the window to find that there are incorrect entries. The standard message options available are, Yes or OK. Click the option to acknowledge the message and make the correction.
  
  NOTE: Because CGM webPRACTICE is browser-based, the pointer automatically moves to the next consecutive data field after you acknowledge the warning message. This limitation is due to standard Web page functionality restrictions (just like you encounter on the Internet) and there is no way to eliminate it. Click in the field with the incorrect data to re-position the pointer.
