Add/User
Information – A window will open and the user’s information must be entered. All items with an asterisk are required.
The bottom of the page houses System Roles. This is a restriction function that will allow agencies to limit the times that users can access the software. For example, if the “Allow Weekend Access” box is not checked and a user attempts to login on a Saturday, the system will not allow entry. Times can also be adjusted for the earliest time a user can log in and/or when they are automatically logged out of Axxess Hospice.
Select the “Save” button to leave the section but keep what has been entered so far. Select the “Next” button to move on to the next new user tab.
Permissions – Permissions are important in the software because they determine what a user can or cannot see, add, edit, delete or reassign.
Permissions will allow agencies to manually select which Administration, Clinical or Billing permissions they wish their users to have.
To save time, there is also a Select All checkbox in the top left corner of each category that will check every single permission box in that section. Once finished, select the “Save” button to complete.
