About the Personal Menu Item Report
The Personal Menu Items report lists the personal menu items for each resident/patient selected to be in the report.
Because supplements and adaptive aides are assigned to persons as personal menu items, the Personal Menu Item report is a useful means to know the total number of each supplement and adaptive aide required.

After selecting the people to be included in the report, select Profile Reports and Lists > Personal Menu Items from the left side of the screen. The Personal Menu Items section appears for you to select the report settings.

Printing Supplements and Adaptive Aides for the Personal Menu Items Report
Because supplements and adaptive aides are assigned to persons as personal menu items, the Personal Menu Item report is a useful means to know the total number of each supplement and adaptive aide required. To list supplements and adaptive aides assigned to persons:
- Click the [X] Menu Categories Included link.
- Select the Supplements category and Adaptive Aides category for each meal period and snack time. Deselect the food categories that you don't want to print. Click Save to apply your settings.
- For the Report Type sort order, it is recommended to use By Item, as this will list each item and the residents/patients it is assigned to, allowing you to easily count the total required.
FAQs
Why is a diet order in red font?
If the diet order (diet, texture, fluid) for a person is in red font, it indicates that their diet order is invalid, and as such their diet order needs to be resolved. For more information, see Invalid Diet Orders.
Why are personal menu items not being printed?
Check if the resident/patient has been assigned an allergen. If so, any existing personal menu items that conflict with the allergen will not be served. For a personal menu item that is not being printed, you can view its associated allergens; to do so see Viewing Allergens Associated with a Recipe.
Items are being printed for a resident/patient, but I don't see those items in their personal menu?
Items on a resident/patient's personal menu will print on a report/label. Therefore if items are being printed that you do not see in a personal menu, it most likely means the personal menu is set not to display the item(s). Via the Display Options of the personal menu, you can configure the following to display/not display:
- Snack items
- Also available items
- Specific menu categories
