Your Default Layout Styles

Located at the top-left of the DEFAULTS section is your Default Layout Styles. These layout options allow you to save your desired layout preferences so when you go to create a rehab programme your default layout settings are pre-loaded. Your default layout options are:


  • Default Exercises Per Page: This options allows you to save the default number of exercises to be displayed on your rehab programmes when you create or e-mail them. You can choose between 1, 3, 5 or 8 exercises to be displayed per page.
  • Heading Position: This option allows you to set the default positioning on your programme headings. You can select Right Justified (headings are placed to the right of the page and logo to the left), Left Justified (headings are placed to the left of the page and logo to the right) or Center Justified (headings are centred on the page and the logo is absent).
  • Select Your Date Format: This options allows you to set the format that the date is displayed on your programmes. The date is entered into your programme headings when you click the green calendar icon located in the Alternate Headings section of the title, subtitle 1 and subtitle 2 text fields. As an example, date format options for 25th December 2015 are displayed as:
    dd/mm/yyyy: 25/12/2016
    mm/dd/yyyy: 12/25/2016
    yyyy/mm/dd: 2016/12/25
    dd mmm yyyy: 25 DEC 2016
    dd mmmm yyyy: 25 DECEMBER 2016
  • Default Handout: File Name: This allows you to set the default filename of your PDF rehab handouts that are attached to e-mails when you send them from The Rehab Lab to your clients.

Default Headings

Located at the top-right of the DEFAULTS section are your Default Headings. Like the Default Layout Styles the Default Headings is a feature designed to save you time when creating your rehab handsouts.


your default headings

These automatically populate the title, subtitle 1 and subtitle 2 text fields when you open the CREATE YOUR PROGRAMME and E-MAIL YOUR PROGRAMME windows.


your default headings

Your Default Headings are useful if you often use the same title or subtitle on all your rehab handouts. You may find it useful to save a default title or subtitle with information such as:


  • Your clinic name and contact phone number
  • Your clinic name and address
  • Your personal contact details
  • Your name and the date the programme was created


You can also add the Current Date to your headings. At the bottom of the Default Headings area are the Add Current Date check-boxes. Select Subtitle 1 or Subtitle 2 to add the current date to the end of your default subtitles. This date will take the format of your default date format (see above).


add the current date

Once you are happy with the default headings you have entered, be sure to save your changes by clicking the blue SAVE CHANGES button located at the top-right corner of DEFAULTS section.


Alternate Headings

This section allows you to save four different titles, subtitle 1 and subtitle 2 options. These headings are identified by their corresponding icon (a square icon containing one, two, three or four dots).


your alternate headings

Like the Default Headings option, you can save different alternate headings that you may commonly use (e.g. a clinic contact phone number, an address, a therapist's name or contact details etc). Now, when you create or e-mail your next rehab programme, you can click the appropriate Alternate Headings icon located beside the title, subtitle 1 and subtitle 2 text fields. This will automatically load the corresponding heading into the text field.




the alternate headings buttons

note: Clicking an 'Alternate Headings' icon will replace any 'Default Headings' or headings you have manually typed in with the icon's corresponding heading.


Once you are happy with the alternate headings you have entered, be sure to save your changes by clicking the blue SAVE CHANGES button located at the top-right corner of DEFAULTS section.
