* **From the Patient Vitals button**: Click the **Patient Vitals** button in the right panel to open a slide-up popup where you can enter vitals.
* **From the Pre Check tab**: Vitals can also be recorded in the **Pre Check** tab. Navigate to the [**Pre Check**](/uniteemr/application-modules/medical-records/precheck.md) tab for more details.
