This feature displays the activity in your pharmacy using customizable color-coded information displayed on the screen. Here, you have the ability to view information about the ECS, Mail, Tickler and Workflow queues. Within these queues, you can set thresholds that inform you when things are approaching a critical stage. These are color-coded (green, yellow, and red) to indicate their importance in workflow. Additionally, when you click a certain value, you are taken directly to that queue. You also have the option to prioritize the Pharmacy at a Glace screen so that whatever needs immediate attention is moved to the top of the screen.
