The View Options menu allows a user to choose which items are listed in the Transactions window of the Ledger.

Financial Ledger refers to all monetary transactions.
Clinical Ledger is a log of non financial transactions (a more detailed breakdown can be found below).

  • Show Financial Ledger: Unchecking Financial Ledger will hide charges, payments, adjustments, claims, and other financial ledger transactions from the patient's ledger. This is helpful for reviewing Clinical Ledger information.
