Type of Chart Numbering Used	Numeric - if you use one of the RACGP chart numbering systems, choose RACGP. The personal chart numbers are for the RACGP system where you are using the one or two digit extension for family members' charts. Alphabetic - if you do not wish to use chart numbers, choose Alphabetic and a chart number is automatically allocated by Pracsoft based on the surname of the patient.
Show Personal Chart Numbers	You are given a choice of 'Don't show any', 'Show personal chart number on the right', or 'Show personal chart number on the left'. Thus, displaying this extension on the left or the right of the base family chart number.
Next Chart No	Pracsoft supports the allocation of a new numeric chart number either by incrementing the value you have stored as last chart number by 1, or incrementing the second last digit. When a new chart number is allocated to a patient, Pracsoft does not check for existing patients using that chart number.
