Viewing Active Ticklers

Ticklers can also be accessed by clicking on “Ticklers” in the main navigation bar, the number of your(the current user’s) active ticklers will appear as a superscript in red(see image below).
Note that although Ticklers can only be assigned to one EMR user at a time, they can be viewed by other EMR users.
