Page Description
Use the Users page to view the user list, as well as add or edit user demographics, accounts, practice memberships, and host codes. You must first select or add a user before you can perform any of these tasks.
Note that the data displayed on this page depends on the column view settings for your facility. Copia uses the column view settings to control what columns appear in the tables on this page and the order in which it sorts the displayed information. You may set column view rules at the location or the system default levels. The rules for the signed-in location, if available, supersede the system default column view rules.

Adding or Editing User Details
- The User Details section of the User details page provides the fields to enter the user's demographic information, occupation, and system use of Copia.
- Complete the fields below to add demographic information for a new user.
- Last Name: Enter the last name of the user. This field is required.
- First Name: Enter the first name of the user.
- Middle Name: Enter the middle name of the user, if desired.
- Prefix: Enter the prefix of the user.
- Professional Suffix: Enter the professional suffix of the user, if applicable.
- Suffix: Enter the suffix of the user.
- Full Name: This field contains the full name and title of the user. Copia enters this information when the user ID number is assigned. See "Adding or Editing Account Information" below.
- Local Name: Enter the name for the user that Copia should display on reports, if this field is included on the report layout.
- To edit demographic information, highlight or delete text already displayed in the field, then modify as desired.
- Select or clear all checkbox options that apply to the user's occupation and use of Copia.
- Active: Select this checkbox if the user currently has an active account within the system. Clear this checkbox if the account is inactive. If the account is inactive, Copia clears it from the Users list page when you select the Show active only checkbox. See "Viewing the User List" above. Copia alerts you if you inactivate a staff member who is the default provider for a location.
- Locked: If this option is selected, it means that the selected user's account is locked and that user cannot sign in until someone with access to this page clears the option. Clear this checkbox to restore the user's access to Copia.
- Provider: Select this checkbox if the user is an ordering provider.
- External: Select this checkbox to designate the user as an ordering provider who is not a member of your organization. For example, you may need to do this
if a patient receives testing orders from an outside specialist. In this case,
you need to add the outside specialist as the ordering provider, but this
provider does not need to be given full access to Copia.
- Always available as ordering provider: Select this checkbox
to make this user available as the ordering provider for every location, no matter what practice.
This setting overrides the list of practices the user is assigned to in the Member of These Practices section. See "Adding, Editing, or Deleting Practice Memberships" below.
- Looking up patients: These options affect the patients Copia displays when this user searches for patients and orders on the Find Patient or Order page, the Order History page, or using the Find Patient field at the top of the Copia application. See the Find Patient or Order, Order History, or Selecting a Patient topics. Note that if the user is defined as a system clinical user (see below), then that status overrides these checkboxes.
- Show patients from any practice for whom this user has been an ordering provider: Select this option to allow the user to search for patients or orders, regardless of the practice, where this user was the ordering provider. When selected, Copia displays patients who belong to practices the user is associated with, as well as any additional patients from other practices for whom the user has been the ordering provider. This setting allows the user to search for patients who belong to practices that the provider does not belong to.
- Restrict to only show patients for whom this user has been an ordering provider: Select this option to limit the search to patients or orders where the patients belong to one of the user's associated practices and where this user was the ordering provider. When selected, Copia only displays patients who belong to practices the user is associated with. This setting allows the user to search only for patients who belong to practices that the provider belongs to.
- Phlebotomist Label Def: Select this checkbox if the user is a phlebotomist.
- System Clinical User: Select this checkbox for users who require access to patient results or information across all practices. This is a powerful setting, as it overrides some security and preference settings out of necessity to allow the user to access patient information across practices. For example, system clinical users are not affected by the "Override required fields" right. So they may, for example, bypass clinical questions even if they are required for other users, unless you assign the "Enforce entry of required clinical info regardless of other rights" right to the system clinical user's security role.
- Access restricted practices: Select this checkbox to allow the system clinical user to access practices that have restrictions applied. The System Clinical User checkbox must be selected in order to select this checkbox.
- Medical Director: Select this checkbox for users who are set up as a medical director in the Copia system.
- Client Services Sales Person:
Select this checkbox to designate the user as a sales person within the Copia system.
- Restrict to assigned clients when viewing Client Services: Select this checkbox to limit the assessable clients and items within the Client Services module. The Client Services module must be enabled to utilize the setting and should be used alongside the Role right "Client Services Sales Person." The Sales Person search-as-you-type fields on both the Admin: Locations and the Admin: Client Services pages will only display the user's name if these settings are selected and the Role right is turned on.
- Restrict patient access to only those visible through an associate: Select this option to restrict access to patients based on users' associates during patient or order searches on the Order Patient Samples, Patient Search, Pending Orders, Collect Samples, Pending Collection, and Order History pages. You may use this setting in conjunction with the "Include information visible to associates in patient/order searches" option set on the System Defaults administration page.
- If this setting is enabled but the system default setting is disabled, then no patients/orders will be available to search.
- If both this setting and the system default setting are enabled, then Copia only includes in searches those patients who have been added through enabling the system default setting.
- If this setting is disabled, but the system default setting is enabled,
users have access to any patients they would normally have access to, as well as any patients visible to users for whom they are associates. On the Order Patient Samples page, Copia takes into account associate settings for including or restricting displayed patients to those ordered for. On all other affected pages, Copia displays only patients that associates have been ordering providers for.
- Restrict associate user access to patients for whom this user has been an ordering provider: Select this option to restrict access to associates' patients based on ordering provider status. If a signed-in user is marked as an associate for a user with this setting enabled, Copia will only grant access to patients that the user with the setting has been an ordering provider for. This setting applies to searches on the Order Patient Samples page, as well as on the User Inbox page, when a user is viewing the results for an associate with this setting enabled.
- Harvest LIS Tech/Order Entry: Select this checkbox for users who are set up as Tech/Order Entry personnel in Harvest LIS. Note that this checkbox is only available when synch is enabled in Copia.
- Receives System Licensing Messages: Select this checkbox to enable Copia to receive system licensing messages.
- Select the Use System Default Timeout option to use the system default timeout settings for the selected user. Clear this option and set the number of minutes for the user's session timeout (between 5 and 60 minutes) in the Session Timeout (Minutes) field to use these settings for the current user in place of the system default settings.
- Enter a date value in the format MM/DD/YYYY in the Inactivate User After fields to have Copia automatically inactivate the user's account at 12:05 AM on the selected date. To modify the date, change the values in the fields, or select a date from the calendar view by clicking the calendar icon located next to the Inactivate User After fields. Click the Now button to enter the current date. Click the Clear button to clear the contents of the date fields. Note that if you enter the current date, but it is after 12:05 AM, then Copia will not inactivate the user until the next day.
- Click the User Signature button to open the User Signature Setup pop-up to create a custom signature to use in Copia. Select a signature type from the Signature Type drop-down list. Select either "none," "user name," "User-defined text," or "Image" from the drop-down. Select "none" to add no signature to the user's account. Select "User name" to have the user's signature be the user name for the Copia account. Select "User-defined text" to add a custom text signature to the account. Insert custom text into the available field. Select "Image" to add an image as your signature, or to insert a custom signature with the writing tool. Click the Browse... button to add an imagine from your computer. Select the image to insert the image into the User Signature Setup pop-up. Click the Create Signature button to write a custom signature on the User Signature pop-up. Provide the signature in the box above the black line by clicking and writing with the mouse, followed by clicking the Save button. Click the Cancel button to return to the User Signature Setup pop-up without saving any changes. Click the Save button on the User Signature Setup pop-up to save the signature and return to the Users administration page.

Select either "Home" or "Business" from the drop-down list. The default type is Home. All currently-assigned email addresses will use the default type of Home unless changed by the user. The Type field is used for patient contact information to determine which HL7 2.5.1 field to send the email address in. Home email addresses will be sent in PID-13. Business email addresses will be sent in PID-14. Additionally, email addresses parsed from inbound HL7 messages will be created as a home email address if they are parsed from PID-13, and a business email address if they are parsed from PID-14. Click the Delete button to remove the address from the pop-up, or click the Add button again to add multiple emails. Each added email will be defined as Email 1, Email 2, etc. Click the Save button to save the email address, or click the Cancel button to close the pop-up.

Click the Send email upon save button to send an email after saving on the page, the Send email with link upon save button to allow an email to be sent to a user that will allow that user access to login and change their password from a link rather than from sending their user name and password (specified using the field URL to be used in the password email recovery link on the System Defaults administration page), or the Do not send email button to not send an email. Click the Cancel button to close the pop-up. Note the following:
- Passwords may contain internal spaces (spaces between characters), but Copia removes leading or trailing spaces (spaces in front of or behind the password).
- Depending on the system default administration settings, Copia may be enforcing password minimum character requirements. If one or more password rules are in place and the password you enter does not meet the new standards, Copia alerts you and prompts you to re-enter a different password. Copia will not allow you to save a password that does not meet these rules.
- If you are creating a new patient and you do not enter a user name, Copia does not require you to enter a password. This allows you to create user records for personnel who do not need to be able to sign into Copia.

Click the Now button to enter the current date. Click the Clear button to clear the contents of the date fields.
You may leave the date and time fields blank to have users change
their passwords the next time they sign in.
The next time the user signs in, the user must enter the password in the Password field to sign in, and then Copia displays the New Password page to allow the user to set a new password. See the Change Password/New Password topic.
This feature is designed for use with new accounts, where users will sign in with the password you assign and then immediately change the password, as well as cases where users forget their passwords and you must assign a new password that they can then immediately change.
- Select the Suppress Password Expiration Notification checkbox to have Copia suppress the password expiration notice that is triggered by the System Defaults administration page setting Notify a user that their password will expire ___ days before it does.

- The mailing address will only appear if the report body is set to Alternate Format 1.
- The mailing address is shown in the bottom left corner on the first page of a result report.
- The address shown is the ordering location's address.
- You may work with Orchard Software Technical Support to adjust the margin settings around the mailing address, if necessary.
- Show History: Select this option to display by default results for order choices
from previous orders in addition to the current results for the selected delivery method.
- Content: Select an option to determine what results Copia includes in the report.
- All Results: Select this option to receive all of the results that have been received for the order, including those that may have been reported previously. When this is selected, each time order choices in an order are resulted or approved and sent back to Copia, Copia creates a new lab report that includes the latest results for every order choice in the order, regardless of approved/unapproved status. Copia displays unapproved order choices as "Pending." Note that in the User Inbox page, you may click the Reprint Past Print Jobs button to view or print any of the previous lab reports created for the selected order.
- New Results Only: Select this option to receive only the results that have come in for the order since the last report you received. When this is selected, each time order choices in an order are resulted or approved and sent back to Copia, Copia creates a new lab report that includes only the results for the order choices that were received. Note that in the User Inbox page, Copia creates a lab report that contains all approved results that have accumulated since the last time a user clicked the Acknowledge Selected button for the selected order. This means that lab reports you create in the User Inbox page could appear differently from the reports Copia sends via email or fax when this setting is enabled.
- Stop Delivery: Select an option to determine how result delivery rules will fire. Note that these settings are not available for the Inbox delivery method.
- Deliver to All: Select this option to have all result delivery rules fire if they qualify for the associated delivery method.
- Stop Delivery to Address: Select this option to only allow one result delivery rule to fire per address.
- Stop Delivery to All: Select this option to cease to fire any result delivery rules after one rule has been fired for that delivery method.
- Schedule: Click this button to set specific schedules on the Delivery Scheduling page for when Copia should deliver accumulated results to this user via the selected delivery method. See the Delivery Schedule topic.
- In the When User Results are Received section of the Result Delivery settings, you may further customize when the user receives results
for each delivery method you established in the How this User Receives Results section (see above), or you may choose to use the system default or practice-specific result delivery schedules that were created in the System Defaults administration page.
- If desired, select the Use System Default delivery rules option to have Copia use the delivery rules from the System Defaults administration page. When you select this option, Copia displays the default and practice-specific delivery schedules defined in the System Defaults administration page.
- If you do not wish to use the system default settings, clear the Use System Default delivery rules checkbox. You may then define user-level Default Result Delivery Rules and/or click the Add Practice Result Delivery button and select a practice in the Practice Search page to create a new, practice-level result delivery schedule. See the Practice Search topic.
- Once you scroll to the default or practice-specific result delivery schedule you wish to modify or create, select one or both checkboxes to indicate which delivery rules will control when Copia uses the delivery schedule:
- Deliver this User's Reports to the Ordering Location (using the location's delivery rules): Select this option to have Copia use the ordering location's delivery rules when delivering the user's reports.
- Deliver this User's Reports to this User (using this user's delivery rules): Select this option to have Copia use the signed in user's delivery rules when delivering the user's reports.
- If you create your own result delivery rules, you may add one or more rules for each delivery method you enabled above. By default, the Inbox delivery method checkbox is enabled. This indicates that results will be sent to the user's Copia account (User Inbox).
- To add additional delivery rules, click the Add button. The Result Delivery Rule page appears, allowing you to set up when the results are sent. See the Resule Delivery Rule topic.
- Once you add one or more delivery rules, Copia lists the Inbox, Email, Fax, RAPS, Direct Printing, HL7, and/or Direct Dial delivery rules with the following information:
- Delivery Method: The type of delivery that will be used (Inbox, Email, Fax, RAPS, Direct Printing, HL7, or Direct Dial).
- Delivery Destination Override: The number, address, printer, etc. that Copia should use in place of whatever the user's default number, address, printer, etc. is. This is available for all methods except inbox.
- Day of Week: The days of the week that results will be sent to the user using this method.
- New Reports Generated: The circumstances in which that type of report is created and sent (when any new result is received, when any order choice is final, or when all order choices are final--with or without exceptions).
- Priority/Severity: The status of the order (e.g., ASAP, Routine, STAT, or Normal, Abnormal, or Critical).
- Ordering Provider is: Whether the ordering provider is the selected user, someone else, or both.
- Ordering Location Condition: The ordering locations that should receive results via the selected delivery method.
- Order Choice Condition: The order choices that should be included or excluded from the result delivery for the selected delivery method.
- Notification: Whether or not Copia sends email notifications for triggered result delivery rules for the user's selected delivery method (yes or no).
- Scheduled: Whether or not the “Delivery Scheduling” option to send the results by delivery method schedule is enabled for the selected rule on the Result Delivery Rule page.
- Active: By default, the Active checkbox is selected to indicate that Copia will use the settings when delivering results. Clear this checkbox if Copia should not send results using the method. Note that if you do not select the checkbox in front of a delivery method in the How I Receive Results section (see above), then Copia will not allow you to set any delivery rules for that method to active status.
- Sort Order: Allows you to sort the result delivery rules within a specific delivery method (e.g., all faxing rules). Click the up or down arrows to set the precedence order in which Copia applies the rules for a method. By default, Copia will deliver results for the method (fax, email, inbox, etc.) using the first unique delivery rule that fits the result’s criteria. It will evaluate the rules for the method in the order you set here.
- If you are not using system default delivery rules, click the name of a Delivery Method to modify delivery rules in the Result Delivery Rule page. You may not modify methods defined as default (see above) or that are from the System Defaults administration page.
- To remove a delivery rule, click the X button in the Delete column that corresponds to the delivery settings you wish to delete. Copia immediately deletes the delivery rule. This action cannot be undone.
- Enter or modify the user's Order Choice Lists settings. Click the Show link, if necessary, to view the settings.
- In the Frequent Order Choice List section of the Order Choice Lists settings, enter the name and length settings for the "My Frequent" list. Copia
builds the Frequent list in the Order Patient Samples page based on the settings
in this page, and then automatically fills it with the order choices
the user orders most often.
- Enter a number between 1 and 100 in the Number of order choices to display field. This field is required. If you enter 10, then Copia displays the 10 order choices the user orders the most frequently.

- In the System Order Choice Lists section of the Order Choice Lists settings, view the list details and decide whether
or not to display the lists on the Order Patient Samples and Order Choice Pick List pages.

- Click the Name of the list to open the System List page, allowing you to view the details for the system list. See the Admin: System List topic. Note that you cannot edit the settings for the list in this page, but you may edit them in the Order Choice Lists administration page. See the Admin: Order Choice Lists topic.
- Select the Active checkbox if you want the list to appear on the Order Patient Samples and Order Choice Pick List pages, or clear the Active checkbox if you do not want the list to appear on the pages. See the Order Patient Samples topic.
