-=== Different menus === +Most of the things you can do in store mode are also available in dispensary mode. The main differences are: 
-Some of the menus in dispensary mode have different names. For example, the //Customer menu// becomes the //Patient menu.//+  * The **Customer** menu becomes the **Patient** menu; and 
 +  * The **Customers** tab on the navigator becomes the **Patients** tab, which has a slightly different selection of icons 
 +  * The windows displayed are appropriate for dispensing medicines to individual patients. For example, a patient's dispensing history is maintained and you can also record patient notes (e.g. allergies). 
 + 
 +Note that a facility using dispensary mode can distribute stock to both patients **and** customers (e.g. hospital wards, outreach programs), and can still handle customer requisitions.

-But most of the things you can do in store mode are also available in dispensary mode. In fact, the navigator looks much the same. The only difference is the Customers tab, which is renamed to the Patients tab and has a slightly different selection of icons: 
  
 {{ :dispensing:dispensary_mode_navigator.png?600 |}} {{ :dispensing:dispensary_mode_navigator.png?600 |}}
- 
-The functionality of the common icons is the same as in store mode and applies mostly to customers not patients (a dispensary mode store can still distribute stock to customers (not patients) and handle customers' requisitions). For details of those functions, see the other sections of this guide.
