Admin: Profiles

Page Description

Use the Profile List page to view, create, or edit the format for the Profiles list on the Order Patient Samples page. You combine frequently ordered order choices into one group of order choices, or a profile. Using profiles may save time during order entry because you only need to select one profile instead of selecting individual order choices for the order.

Viewing the Profile List

  1. The Profiles list page contains a list of up to ten profiles, listed with the profile's Owner, the Order Choices on the profile, and the profile's Active status. If the list is longer than one page, use the Page links, located below the list of profiles, to navigate through the list.
  2. To view active profiles only, select the Show active only checkbox at the top of the Profiles page. You set the inactive/active status in the Profile Details section of the Profiles details page. See "Adding or Editing Profile Details" below.

Copia adds any user-owned profiles to the list, displaying the names of users or practices that own the profiles in the Owner field. It displays "System" as the owner for system-owned profiles. If you clear this checkbox, Copia only displays practice- and system-owned profiles.
  4. If you cannot find the desired profile, use the Search or Search Components options to narrow the list to those that match your entry. Click the List option to return to the full list of profiles.
