Split Label Functionality
The split label functionality offers more variety and flexibility when labeling prescriptions by specifying the quantity that will appear on each label.
There are three split label options:
-
None - default selection. No split occurs and the same quantity appears on each vial label.
-
Even Split - the quantity of the prescriptions is split evenly between the specified vial label copies.
The Split Qty is automatically populated based on the quantity of the of the prescription and the number of vial labels.
-
Custom Split - the quantity of the prescription is split based on the Split Qty entered.
In all split options, the prescription hardcopy or e-file copy, and reports, will display the total Fill Qty.
Use the dropdowns below to learn more about each split label option.
