It happened again. The sticky note on the side of your monitor reminding you to post finance charges to overdue accounts on the 15th of the month has failed you. Well, prepare to crumple up that sticky note. The Dentrix G6.6 Reports and Tasks Scheduler lets you schedule reports and tasks to run on a regular basis, so you can let Dentrix remember to post finance charges mid-month!
Follow these steps to schedule reports and tasks to run automatically. In this example, we’ll add the Apply Finance Charges task to the Monthly queue.

How To

1. In the Ledger, click Task Scheduler.
2. In the Available Tasks pane, scroll to the Ledger Tasks, right-click the Apply Finance Charges task, and select Add to Queue, and select Monthly. A new window will open where you can customize the settings for specific task/report. Apply the settings and/or filters for the task and click OK.
3. Add other tasks or reports to the Monthly queue as needed and then click Close to return to the Ledger.

The Apply Finance Charges task will now run on a monthly basis (based on the recurrence settings for the Monthly Queue) and according to the finance charge options you just set up.

Additional Tips

• By default, there are some tasks already assigned to Daily, Monthly, and Yearly queues. To avoid performing tasks repeatedly by mistake, when making a new queue, make sure the task is only active in the queue you want.
• Once all tasks and reports have been added and customized to a queue, choose a processing time for the queue to run, by entering a time in the Begin processing at field (at the bottom of the dialog box). Also, make sure that the checkbox next to the field is checked —the queue will not run unless this box is checked.
