It's important to note that populating the drugs table is not required for PTS's core functionality.

While you can add drugs to this page manually it's plainly not appropriate for the many thousands of different drugs you'll be handling.

The Miscellaneous Barcodes setup page is a repository of barcodes that serve specific system functions.

Unlike other setup pages, miscellaneous barcodes are not something you can edit or add to.

The most popular barcodes that are printed from here include:

  1. Collected - to record collection of a prescription or bag with a barcode scanner.
  2. To-Follow - various ways to automatically create to-follow prescriptions.
  3. Shortcuts - shortcut barcodes to open the booking in screen, or the prescription details screen of a specific prescription.
