Track Non-Tagged Medication - Basic Setup

Setting up Tracked Medications

The Tracked Medication feature can be activated from the website under the Tracked Medication tab through Settings. When these options are enabled, it allows the NarcBox to be used to enter Non-Tagged medication usage and/or waste, and transfer Non-Tagged medications in and out.
