Restrict User Access to Modify Client-Defined Fields

When at least one of the 14 client-defined fields are labeled in Enterprise Preferences, the Client Defined tab appears in the Add/Modify Patient Information window. Security rights determines a user's ability to modify the fields on this tab.

  1. Open System Administrator, and then select the appropriate group.
  2. Select the Rights tab.
  3. Expand MODULES > General > Client Defined.
  4. Under Access Rights, select the rights you want to grant.
    • If Add is selected but Update is not, users can make a selection for blank client-defined fields when they open a chart. However, when they reopen the chart, the fields with values cannot be updated.
    • If Update is selected but Add is not, users can make a selection in the client-defined fields that have values. Blank fields are not available.
    • If a client-defined field is required but a user does not have access to modify the field, the user cannot save patient charts.
  5. Select Save.
