Update Medical Records > BMI

• Use the filters in the option to display different entries in the graph:
  
• Hover over a point in the graph to view the BMI score.
• Your security profile's record sensitivity for the option is displayed. In this example, the record sensitivity restriction is 'High' so you can view all entries.
• This option is available in both pupil and staff medical records in the Medical Centre module.

• Add a BMI entry.
• Edit a BMI entry. Amend an entry that has been incorrectly entered.
• Delete a BMI entry. Remove an entry that has been added in error.
