Before you start

  • A client with a submitted intake. A chart is calculated from the intake, so a client without one has nothing to calculate.
  • A calculation that has finished. The workspace shows its state — queued, calculating, taking longer than expected, or failed — and never presents one as done before the API reports it.
  • A house system recorded for the practice. Without one the engine refuses the chart, and the screen offers the choice that fixes it.

What you provide

  • Which of the returned evidence factors to include. Including one changes how prominently it appears and what a summary may cite; it never removes it from this screen.
  • Your own notes, which are private to you and are never delivered, previewed or put in a link.
  • Optionally, a chart the client brought with them, instead of one calculated here.

What you can do

  • Request a calculation, or try a failed one again.
  • Include or exclude individual evidence factors.
  • Write and save your notes — they autosave as you type.
  • Open the summary composer when you are ready to draft, or the review screen when a version exists.

What you get

  • A set of included evidence factors that the composer cites.
  • A private note stored against the session and against you.
  • A session whose state you can read at any time, including from another browser, because it is a record in your practice.

Common problems

The calculation has said “Queued” for a long time
After ten minutes the screen says it is taking longer than expected and names the three things worth checking, in order: whether a calculation worker is running, whether this practice has a house system recorded, and whether a worker logged a refusal. A queued run with no worker waiting for it stays queued for ever.
The run failed
The reason the API recorded is shown with the run, and “Try again” starts a new attempt rather than reusing the failed one. A failed run produces no evidence, so the evidence list is empty or shows an earlier run.
A factor cannot be included
It depends on a house cusp or a chart angle, and the birth time is recorded as not exact. Including it would be a claim the chart cannot support, so the control is disabled. Record an exact birth time and calculate again to use it.
