In conjunction with the Customer Alert changes noted previously, release 1.5 has made some changes to the existing Patient Alerts feature.

The previous Alert button has been replaced with specific coloured and prioritised buttons which can can clicked to get more detailed information.  These alerts are also displayed while creating and editing appointments.

From a implementation perspective the only required task is to modify the existing Patient Alert Types to set their colour and priority. Again this is done in Administration -> Lookups as was the case with Customer Alert Types.

From a users perspective little changes except they do not need to click the Alerts button anymore.
