Adding new diet sheets
 |
|
Adding
a new diet is a simple affair. Click on the Add button, and
enter the name of your diet sheet into the window that appears.
Substances can be selected from the drop-down lists, in which
case all information in Allergy Advisor will be linked. The
drop-down fields can be left open if you do not want to link
to any data captured in Allergy Advisor for your own designed
diet list.
Allergy
Advisor saves any personalization to your hard drive, allowing
you to append previous diet sheets to Allergy Advisor when
updates are loaded. |
NOTE:
When
creating a new diet sheet, only diet-information from a pre-existing
diet-sheet, e.g., wheat, egg, will be included for appending
to your new diet sheet. For example, there is no diet
information for orange, thus no diet-information will be appended
and you will have to create your own text. (The diet-sheet
will however extract items containing orange in the "restricted
specific" category.)
C.
Combining Diet sheets:
- Click
the Add button
- Enter
a name for your new diet sheet
- Choose
from the drop-down box the items from Allergy Advisor you
would like to have in your diet sheet. Allergy Advisor will
then amalgamate the data of these items into a new diet sheet,
including any text of any pre-designed diet sheet for the
items you have selected (where available).
- Save
the diet sheet and you will be asked if you would like to
amalgamate the text of these diets.
- Clicking
"Yes" will fuse the information.
- You
will be asked to check the amalgamated text as conflicting
advice may be present
The
diet sheets can be used in the following ways:
- Use
the pre-designed diet sheet with or without changing existing
text.
- Create
your own diet sheet using items from the drop-down list. Data
will be extracted from Allergy Advisor and inserted into the
diet sheet.
- Create
your own diet sheet not linked to Allergy Advisor data. In
this case, do not choose an item from the drop-down list.
- Combine
one or more pre-designed diet sheets. Text present in the
pre-designed diet sheets will be appended to your new sheet.
You can
delete, amend or add diet sheets at any stage. Allergy Advisor
also saves entered items to your system so that they are imported
into any Allergy Advisor updates that you receive!
