Working Tasks in Enterprise Mode

The Enterprise Worklog Manager window enables you to work tasks for practices to which you have access within the current enterprise. You can access the tasks created in practice in which you have not logged in, but the practice is in your Included list within Practice Defaults window. The count of tasks displayed in Task List within the Enterprise Worklog Manager window for the selected one or more practice depends on the Lookup Limits User Preferences. If you are responsible for working tasks across multiple practices and have many tasks in each practice, the system will pull up as many tasks as it can from the first practice, then the second, and so on until the look up limit is met. If the lookup limit is met by the tasks listed for the first practice, tasks for other practices are not displayed unless additional filtering is added. To work tasks within the Enterprise Worklog Manager window, select the task and right-click for options. The options available are: Open Delete Account

Assign Practice Access to a Program

The Programs master file is a system-level table. Therefore, all programs can potentially be accessed by any practice in any enterprise. If your enterprise includes multiple practices, you can use the Practice Access option to define which practices have access to each program. For example, Practice A and Practice B both provide services under Program XYZ, but Practice C does not. Therefore, only Practices A and B should have access to Program XYZ. Note: Multiple practices with access to the same program share all system-level parameters defined on the program System and Clinical tabs. Each practice can define their own practice-level parameters on the program Practice tab. Access File Maintenance. Select System Master Files, then PM, and then Programs.
