Set Up the Quick File Configurations Master File

Before you begin

To set up the quick file configurations master file, do the following:
  • Set up Quick File Hot Keys.
  • Permit quick file configurations for specific practices in the enterprise by selecting the Practice access for quick file configurations master file checkbox through the Enterprise Preferences window.
  • In File Maintenance, assign quick file configurations to the practices. In NextGen® Document Management, select the Doc Mgmt tab of the User Preferences window, and then select a default quick file configuration to activate the Quick File feature.
You can apply the selected configuration when you use Quick File to file a document.
A Quick File configuration is a profile that controls which Quick File hot keys are available to the user when they file a batch of images. You can assemble and arrange the Quick File Hot Keys into any configuration that the Quick File Configurations master file allows you to create. For example, if there are six hot keys configured in the Quick File Hot Keys master file, you can create Quick File configurations that use different combinations of the hot keys for different filing situations. You could create a Quick File configuration that uses only two of the available hot keys. Another Quick File configuration that you create could use all six hot keys.
