Static User

A static user is designed to allow the person signed in as the user to configure appointment schedules for display on a shared monitor—similar to a scheduling board for patient rounds, etc. This feature has very limited appointment management functionality, and it includes only basic grid functions such as

• Selecting the scheduling page that is displayed
• Selected the resource and patient columns
• Pinning a patient or resource
• Adjusting actual treatment time  

Scheduling and data entry functions are not available to Static Users.

To create a Static User:

1. Select Data Maintenance > System and Security > Users from the Main menu. The User information tab displays with a new user.
2. Verify that the Active user checkbox is enabled.
3. Click the drop-down in the User type field and select Static User.
4. Complete the User Name, Full name of user and Password as you would normally.
5. Assign the user a domain license and select the relevant domain-security profile combinations. This establishes the domain appointment schedules the user has access to.
• In general, it does not matter what the operations in the security profile are set to for Static Users in that such users have no scheduling function by definition. The one exception is whether the a Static User should be able to edit the Actual Treatment Time of existing appointments. The operation "Edit Treatment Time" must be set to Full to allow this. The operation is located under Appointment Operations > Change Appointment Status on the Edit Security Profiles screen.
6. Assign the relevant global rights according to the following descriptions:
• Can Change Grid Columns: This right must be set to Full in order for the current user to be able to assign resources or patients to columns, including pinning either to the grid.
• User Preferences: If you want the current user to be able to modify User Preferences, this option must be set to Full. Even if this option  is set to None, users can still change their password—the Password Change screen is part of Preferences.
• Security Profile Right: Appointment Rights > Change Appointment Status > Edit Treatment Time must be set to Full in your security profile to use this feature.

In general, none of the other global rights affect the static user, regardless of their current configuration.

7. Save the patient definition once you have finished.
