Tips for using the dials

Starting with version 6, the app shows colored circles to the right of input fields. These open dials for quick entry. Below we give a few tips on how to use them.



You can tap the colored circles to open the corresponding dial. Some dials let you set multiple values at once, for example date and time or blood pressure and pulse.



You can set the values by swiping up and down in the relevant column.



Tap beside the dial or on its middle row to select the values.

Alternatively, you can also tap a colored circle. That will also select the current value. If the colored circle belongs to another field, that field's dial will open right away. This lets you quickly jump between input fields.

Tips:


You can swipe up and down directly on the colored circle. This moves the corresponding column. For example, swipe the circle next to Systolic up to increase the systolic value. This lets you quickly set blood pressure and pulse with your thumb by swiping only on the colored circles.



If you swipe the colored circle to the right toward the edge of the screen, that field will be cleared. Depending on your device and how close you are to the screen edge, this may take a little practice.
