support@RecordsForLiving.com:Thank you for your interest in HealthFrame and for your kind comment.
I see that later in this thread you figured out how to enter units that weren't built-in by default. In general, when HealthFrame provides a list of possible values, it also provides the option to enter your own data by selecting the ellipsis (...) at the bottom of the list. Once you do that, a new data entry field shows up and you can enter the missing value.
Normal ranges may vary based on the specific test, as well as often on other factors such as age and gender. It is also possible for different labs to use different ranges based on how they perform the tests. For that reason, we do not have fixed, built-in range values for tests. You can enter that information in a number of different ways, depending on how you are planning on using that information:
- If you would like to graph your test results over time and you would like to visualize how your results compare with the 'normal range', simply enter in your test entries the values for the low and high values. Then, you can create custom user-defined graphs that include your results as well as the normal range information.
- If you want the information to be available for reference, but not necessarily for reporting or graphing, you can simply add that information to the "Notes" section of the specific test.
- If this is a test you periodically undergo, you may wish to enter the ranges once and refer to them for reference. Consider creating a journal with entries for the specific labs. You can then ceate an internal link (Related Information)
Thank you for the suggestion to simplify the specification of links to externally stored files. Your suggestion has been forwarded to our development team and we hope to support an easier interface in a future major release.
Here's information on the location of the HealthFrame database files. Simply configure your backup software to access that directory and your records should be preserved in case of crashes. We are considering improvements to our backup support for future major releases, since this has been the topic of many posts to the forum.
Thank you for your suggestions! We hope to improve HealthFrame in future releases and it is important to understand what our users would like to see changed.
Thank you for your input and let us know if we can be of further help,
Support Team
Sorry for all the questions.
Referring to point 3. above I made a journal and then put in a journal entry for the lab ranges. When I went back to the test to add related information, I picked link to a journal entry. All that came up is a list of dates and times for journal entries. Did I do something wrong?
