FAQ

> What settings should I configure for a new user who is not a doctor/provider?

New users in a non-provider role (e.g. receptionist, bookkeeper) will only need to enter their personal details into the signup window, or later via Settings > Manage Users.

You may also wish to ensure that the new non-provider user is added to the appropriate user role group and their permissions are set accordingly.

 

> How can I re-invite a user after their invitation has expired?

To re-invite a user:

• Open Settings > Manage Users.
• Select Invite.
• Place the same address in the invite.

The invitation will then be resent to the user.
