What Referral Sources are for

Go to <strong>Settings > Referral Sources</strong>.

2

Add a source

Click <strong>Add</strong> and enter a name for the referral source, such as "Google Search" or "Patient Referral".

3

Edit or remove a source

Use the row controls to edit a name or delete a source you no longer use.

How this feeds reporting
