Set Up Quick File

You can apply pre-configured filing information to a document or image using the Quick File feature. The Quick File feature functions as follows:
  • Each time you select a Quick File button, the application files the current page by populating the document type and loading any pre-configured fields.
  • If you select the same Quick File button, the application files the current page and moves to the next page.
  • If you select the same Quick File button, but changed patients before selecting it, the application creates a new document and moves to the first page of the document.
  • If you select the same Quick File button number, but changed Quick File configurations, the application creates a new document and moves to the first page of the document.
  • If you select a different Quick File button, the application creates a new document and moves to the first page of the document.

To set up Quick File, do the following:

  1. In File Maintenance, configure the Quick File Hot Keys master file, and then configure the Quick File Configurations master file.
  2. In NextGen® Document Management, select the Doc Mgmt tab of the Enterprise Preferences window, and then select the Practice access for quick file configurations master file checkbox to permit quick file configurations to be available to specific practices in the enterprise.
  3. In File Maintenance, assign quick file configurations to the practices.
  4. 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 use the selected configuration when you file a document with Quick File.
