Staff Away

If you are taking leave for a few days, you can set yourself as away specifying the dates. To create an away record go to the main menu and select staff and then away dates.

Steps to create staff away:

1. Choose the staff code that you wish to set the away dates for. If you are not an administrator, then only your own staff code will be present in the list.
2. Add a new record to the grid by selecting the dates in the first row of the grid and hit enter. Please take a look at "Working with Grids"

If you are setting the away date for a doctor, the software will check for any appointments already present for the doctor on those dates and will prompt the user

When you hit enter after selecting the dates the row will be added to the grid.

You can also edit a staff away record or delete it. Whatever changes you make to the form will have to be saved for changes to take effect.

Allow Results Checkbox

The "allow results" checkbox has significance only to doctors in the system. When a doctor's away record is being set, the
"allow results" checkbox determines whether other doctors in the system will be able to view his or her pathology results downloaded on those dates.

Restrictions for Staff Away

1. Once a record is added to the grid you will not be allowed to change the away date. You can delete the record and add a new one.
2. If the return date of a record is in the future, then you will be able to change the return date or delete the record. If the return date is past the current date then no changes or deletion of the record is allowed.

Once you have saved the records, the login of the staff member will be disabled on the dates that he or she will be away. The login will automatically be enabled on the date specified as the return date. If you have set an away for yourself starting from the current date, you will not be able log back in to the system after you have logged out. An administrator of the system will have to delete your away record in this situation if you need to log in again. If a staff member returns before the specified return date, then the administrator of the system will have to log in and modify the staff member's away dates and set the return date to the current date before the staff member can log on to the system.
