Page Description

Use the Delivery Scheduling page to set specific schedules for when Copia should deliver accumulated results. You may define delivery schedules for each delivery method (fax, email, etc.) or for each recipient (users or locations); create different schedules for each day of the week; and set explicit times, time ranges, or intervals for delivery. Once you define the schedule on this page, you must set up the result delivery rule(s) for the selected delivery method on the Result Delivery Rule page to use scheduled delivery instead of immediate delivery. See the Result Delivery Rule topic.

You may view scheduled, but undelivered, reports on the Scheduled Delivery administration page.

If you do not set a specific schedule on this page, Copia delivers results to recipients when it receives the results from the laboratory and it verifies that all the delivery rules for the delivery method (set on the Result Delivery Rule page) are satisfied.

Establishing Delivery Method Schedules

1. Copia displays any existing schedules when you open this page.
2. To remove an existing schedule, click the Remove Schedule button. Copia immediately removes that schedule. If you remove a schedule by mistake, click the Cancel button to cancel the change.
3. To add a new schedule, click the Add Schedule button. Copia automatically adds a new schedule that applies to all 24 hours of all seven days of the week. You may add as many schedules as you wish.
4. To modify the schedule, you may adjust the days and/or timing:
• Select the Days of the Week checkboxes that correspond to the days of the week on which the delivery should occur (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday). You must select at least one checkbox.
• Select a timing option:
  • Only use specific times: Select this option to use only the specific times you enter on this page (see below).
  • All day: Select this option to have the schedule apply the entire day.
  • Starting at: Select this option, enter a range of time in the format HH:MM AM/PM for the Starting at ____ and through ____ values, and enter the number of minutes that Copia should wait to send results in the Send reports every __ minutes. Copia will only send reports during this time frame using the time interval. If you enter the same time for both ends of the range, Copia will interpret this as a continuous 24 hour period of time and will send the results at the designated times during that period. Enter zero (0) for the minute interval if you want Copia to not send at all unless specific times have been added.
• Click the Add Specific Time button to enter one or more specific times for Copia to deliver the results for the selected delivery method.
5. Once you define the schedule on this page, you must set up the result delivery rule(s) for the selected delivery method to use scheduled delivery instead of immediate delivery. See the Result Delivery Rule topic.

Combining the scheduling features on this page with the delivery method's result delivery rules for various priorities and severities allows you to handle situations where, for example, you have Copia immediately deliver results containing STAT order choices, but have it deliver results for ROUTINE order choices based on scheduled delivery times.
