Setup CDBS Items to Trigger Recall

The Update Recall Date window can be triggered by either all or specific items. The only time the window will not appear is if a patient's recall type is set to >none< on their file.
If currently triggering a recall update by specific items, its possible to add CDBS items to the trigger.
