How do I access the 'Patients' report?
If you want to see a full list of all your patients, use the 'Patients' report.
Once you have navigated to the 'Reports' menu in Dentally, under the 'Patient' section open the 'Patients' report.
When you open the report, you will see a list of your whole patient database.
This report allows you to filter the data to break down your patient database into a selected list using the information you have recorded. That list or segment of patients can be used to identify patients or groups of patients that sit within a certain category, to gather useful information, and to send out bulk communications.
From here, you can also export and print the report if you wish.

How do I access saved segments in the 'Patients' report?
If you have saved a segment (a version of the report with filters added, also known as a custom report) to use again in the future, you can access this using the dropdown menu under 'Custom Reports' in the top left corner of the report screen.
The number given under the report name will show the number of patients found the last time the report was run.
💡 Top tip: Got a large number of saved segments? If you have more than 15, you can use the search function to type in the report's name (or part of the name), so you don't have to scroll. Simply click the dropdown and begin typing.
How do I use the 'Patients' report to contact patients?
