Some of the functionality in HANDS is based upon a client’s birthday, so it is important to make sure the new Client’s birthday is correct. The user can enter the required date of birth in the Date of Birth field. It may be manually entered by simply clicking in the field and entering the date in this format MMDDYYYY. HANDS will format the date of birth as MM/DD/YYYY.
The Date of Birth calendar may be also be used if preferred. See Module 2: Figure 36 below.
Module 2: Figure 36: Date of Birth Calendar
After the user enters the date and tabs to or clicks on the next required field, HANDS will display a message asking the user to Verify the Client’s Birth Date. See Module
2: Figure 37 below.
Module 2: Figure 37: Verify Client's Birth Date
After the user verifies the client’s birthday and clicks the yes button, HANDS will display the client’s age in years and months. If the user selects No the window will close, the Birth Date field will be cleared, and the user will be required to enter the client's birth date again.
