Quick Charting is useful to reduce the number of clicks and be able to do it in one area, speeding up the charting process.
The Quick Chart menu is a customisable hover menu that displays as you move your mouse cursor over the Tooth Chart, It provides an information summary and the capability to quickly apply both Services and Quick Plans to the highlighted tooth.
As you apply Services and Quick Plans to the chart, EXACT adds them to a Course of Treatment below the chart. Before using Quick Charting its important to configure it - Quick Charting Configuration

This menu lists both Historical and Current Treatments for this tooth in the yellow Tooltip box.

Using Quick Plans in Quick Charting
EXACT allocates default graphic icons to Quick Plans so that, like Services, they can be selected from the graphical Quick Chart Menu. These icons are identifiable by a standard overlay 
to distinguish Quick Plans from standard services.
Your dental practice can optionally change these auto-allocated icons.
The Configure Quick Chart Menu window has a Quick Plans tab from which Quick Plans can be added to the Quick Chart Treatment (bottom) menu:
The Treatment menu can therefore be populated with both Quick Plans and Services.
On the Quick Chart Menu dentists can hover the mouse cursor over Quick Plans for a tooltip with the name of the Quick Plan and a summary of its treatment items.
Dentists add a Quick Plan to the currently-selected tooth, and the content of the Quick Plan is then either inserted into the current Course of Treatment below the chart, or it creates a new Course of Treatment (this option depends on a setting).
Your dental practice can copy Quick Chart Menus from one Provider to another, allowing for both practice standardisation and rapid creation of dentist Quick Chart Menus.
Assign Quick Plans to Teeth
Move your cursor over the tooth chart to call up the Quick Chart Menu.
Double-click a Quick Plan icon in the Quick Chart Menu.
