After completing the set up tasks (for example, location, printer), you can generate and print/fax your SAP Crystal Reports. The Save to Chart option is available only for the This encounter to Current Patient and the All encounters for Current Patient report types. In addition, you can save a report to a patient's chart using the Save to Chart option, only if a patient chart is open. When a report is saved to a chart, it is saved as a .pdf and becomes a permanent item within the patient's chart. When you select the report for viewing or printing, it opens in the Imaging module. Therefore, ensure that the report contains the appropriate data before selecting the Save to Chart option.

NextGen® Enterprise EHR offers you the ability to store patient chart items (Documents, Images, Notes, and Reports) in multiple locations. If enabled, this feature allows you to store items from the patient chart in separate directories that are automatically separated by date.
Note: If you enable Multiple Storage Locations supports for the Patient Chart Items, it automatically overrides the directory setting for the type of an item specified in the Universal Preferences. For information on how to setup this feature, go to
NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest
