Add page summary

The Extra tab displays additional information that the practice wants to collect or carry out in connection with an employee. The fields on the tab represent custom categories and custom fields that the system administrator sets up using the Maintenance menu.

In most cases, you will create the information on this tab using Step 2 of the Add New Employee Wizard accessed from the main menu — File>New>Employee. However, you can also use this tab to create, edit and delete any of the information shown in the Value field.
