When it comes to the primary difference between Google AdWords and Facebook Ads, you can think of it this way: AdWords helps you find new customers, while Facebook helps new customers find you.

AVImark and Wi-Fi
AVImark wirelessly on a Wi-Fi network works much better now if you have rock solid A-C network (both router and network adapters in your tablets, laptops and phone). This can allow AVImark to run at speeds comparable to wired...between 300 - 1000 mbps. Older Wi-Fi networks run at miserable speeds of under 75 - 150 mbps.
For most hospitals a mini-pc or an newer AIO in the exam rooms with wireless keyboard and mouse still generally better than running AVImark wirelessly. Hard to use AVImark in tablet only mode with no mouse or keyboard for most users. Things are getting better but not quite there yet. I would never run Sidekick (meant for mobile clinic or offsite satellite clinic) inside a hospital, absolutely no need. You can also run AVImark through terminal services or remote desktop sessions to either the Server or take over a workstation desktop. May require add'l licencing and of course running true Server software and/or Windows Pro depending on setup and hardware in hospital. More on this later...

Rating Clients and fix New Client #s.
Rating Clients Utility also known as Monitor Client Quality. If turned on in the Advanced Setup area, it runs automatically every 10 days on first workstation to start Avimark. Based on a scale of 1-10. In Client area you will see a scoring # in the lower right with a # up to 10. A rating of 1 or 2 gives 1 red flower, 3 or 4 gives 2 red flowers, 5 or 6 gives 3 red flowers, 7 or 8 gives 4 red flowers and 9 or 10 gives 5 red flowers. Based on total $$ spent in the last 12 months. The blue # in parenthesis next to the red flowers is total # of invoices in the last 12 months. Together you get a rough picture of client quality from a purely $$ stand point. You can set a client to a score or quality level as well which tells the system not to re-rate them each run of the utility. This utility had caused some problems in the past but after version 2016.2.6 came out, that fixed some issues with the Rating Clients utility and the also broken New Client Totals in the Period Totals Report being screwed up from version 2016.0.0 to 2016.2.6. If you jumped in upgrades from 2015.2.8 or below to 2016.2.6 you never experienced this problem. Otherwise if you were on any version of 2016 prior to 2016.2.6 you need to also run a special fix-it utility called: "Fixclientfirstaccountingdate" this problem was partially caused by a broken Rating Client Utility. All is well now with both as far as I can tell. A new client is not counted as new until they spend their first $$, no matter when the client was added to your Avimark. The Rating Client utility was messing with first accounting dates which in turn was breaking New Client #s in the Period Totals report for about a year. Hope this helps everyone!
