Quick Tips

  • Save frequently using ALT+S as a shortcut to save from anywhere within a record.
  • Dates can be entered with or without separators. For example, August 8, 2024, could be entered as either 08/08/2024 or 08082024.
  • T-notation is useful when entering dates. Entry of t in a date field returns the current date. Entry of t-2 returns the date two days prior, while entry of t+2 returns the date two days in the future.
  • Check the Additional Demographics box on Search and Jurisdiction Reviews to check all identities in case a person has an Alias.
  • Drop-downs may sometimes appear cut off if the user clicks before the list has a chance to fully load. If that occurs, clicking off the drop-down and clicking on it a second time should fix the issue.
  • When reviewing this manual, be sure to read the information called out as various types of tips such as SMWC Tips (ShowMe WorldCare Tips), Security Tips, etc., as this information will identify best practices or important concepts for using the system.
  • Validation rules have been added to many fields in ShowMe WorldCare to prevent data entry errors. For example, certain fields may only accept data in a certain format, such as a date format, telephone number or email address. Other rules may prevent entry of incorrect data, even if it matches the required format. For instance, many date fields prevent the entry of future dates.
  • When entering data in repeating sections with a table, sometimes a blank row will appear. Saving will remove the blank line if it is not supposed to be there. However, summary tables with no data entered always have one blank line as a placeholder.
