For services that run on a fixed cycle (e.g. a new sheet every 28 days), the Scheduled Sheets page auto-creates new sheets on schedule. A Cloud Function checks daily and creates any due sheets.
Setting up a schedule
Open eMAR → More → Scheduled Sheets.
Click New schedule.
Schedule name — your label for the rule.
Interval — pick a type (daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly / yearly) and a value (e.g. "every 2 weeks" = weekly × 2).
Sheet name template — how the new sheet should be named (e.g.
"{{area}} — period {{period_number}}").Patient identity — name, DOB, GP, NHS number, allergies. Used to populate every auto-created sheet.
Auto-archive previous — optional. When on, each new auto-created sheet archives the previous one. When off, you archive manually.
Save. The cron picks up the rule on its next run.
Heads up — Carerealm doesn't let you base a scheduled rule on an existing sheet — every auto-created sheet is built fresh from the patient-identity fields in the rule. Keep those fields up to date when prescriptions change.
