IDEXX Cornerstone Software

How often does your end-of-day or end-of-month processing get overlooked and impact your end-of-period reporting? Does having end-of-day and end-of-month processing run on their own sound appealing? You’re in luck: this functionality is vastly improved with Cornerstone 8.7 NEXT Software. It’s now a server-based operation and not reliant on a specific workstation, which can save you time because two of three processes can run unattended (you’ll still need to run end-of-year reporting manually). Read on to learn more about the Cornerstone 8.7 NEXT Software release and how you can upgrade now, and an extra bonus on getting a leg up on your end-of-year reporting!

One last tip (and a link):

Can’t remember what reports you usually run at end of year? Set them as end-of-period defaults under Controls > Defaults > Practice and Workstation> End of Period. 

This setup also enables you to print the selected group of reports with a single click on the End-of-Day/Month/Year report window
