I haven't used it but I found this when researching a similar problem for work.

Copy-paste.

On a serious note, they design that specifically so that you can't just paste the same info into every page.

Pc: ctrl+c then ctrl+v
Mac: command+c then command+v

Jk I hope you actually find something that works! Since it'll save about an hour of same data entry..

there may be a way to do a Macro to repeat some tasks.

just record your keystrokes and mouse clicks using http://www.autohotkey.com/ then with a click of a button, you can have the "common" fields filled out instantly

Hey

I downloaded that program, recorded the keystrokes/mouseclicks. But i can't figure out how to have it fill it out for me automatically. Like if i save that file where it shows everything i clicked on/filled out, how do i use that same file again on a new page in order to replicate it ?

Thanks

You could use a tool like Jmeter that's technically used to load test web applications.

Create some scripts that automatically post all the static content and the variable content such as name etc are read for from a file.

At work I do this all the time when working with updating BOMs. I have an excel sheet I built to default the formats and made a macro to alt-tab and copy / paste back and forth. You will need to be able to understand where your cursor is on the page at all times and count the number of time you want to TAB to the next field, but pretty straightforward.

EDIT: I use this for large amounts of information or repetitive tasks so I can simply click the macro to run and come back 20 minutes later.

Yes I believe the keystroke recording hinges on the ability to tab to the next checkbox or text field. Basically you'd record the Tab + Some text entry for each field, and save all of those sequences as a macro for each form. So your mom will run a specific macro for a specific client or type of client, to get most or all of the form filled out. And then check it over or make new tweaks.

Who wants to explain this to me through a PM ? Are you guys all talking about the same program ? The two websites/programs that were provided in this thread, i downloaded them both (imacro & autohotkey), i think i am doing something wrong with imacro, because it gives me an error when i have it "repeat" the task. As for the autohotkey, i recorded my keystrokes and the spaces that i filled out, after saved it onto my computer and then i couldn't figure it out how to have it fill out tasks on a blank form. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated guys. I ll send someone a cool gift if I can figure this out hahah.

thank you

what if supervisors catch on and say hey all your follow up reports are the same.
good effort what you're doing though.
that form looks rediculous.

auto hotkey is a macro software i've used before myself,
normally you'd record a set of keystrokes, starting with your mouse cursor in say field 1.
you'd save that when you're done.
then you'd open a new form.
and launch that saved keystroke pattern (whilst previously having placed the mouse cursor back in that first field)

it should them repeat the process.

and the google search i found it from

I do all mine manually in VBA. Never used any software.

Well, its not anything "illegal" i'd say. Because if she suspects drastic changes in patients health, she would HAVE to report it immediately to her supervisors. This is just a "follow up" note, every time she visits them. Its not like they base patients needs/medication on this documents. Its just a proof to show patients general health/condition.

this is my first post at e90. been a stalker for a few weeks. I work at a digital marketing agency and we have web/mobile app developers that are geniuses. I also have a gf thats a RN for the emergency room. To be honest, there's software already out that helps the nurses out. Not sure if this is exactly what your mom needs, but I know my girlfriend does her paper work within 30 mins even if she had like 15-20 patients.

Thank you for your response.
