School Nurse - Settings Menu

The Settings menu for School Nurse users provides a way to set up defaults to expedite data entry by automatically populating drop-down menus and fields.

Also see the Personal Settings chapter in the IWeb Administrator Guide for additional information.

Personal Settings

Personal settings are used when adding new patients, to save time by automatically populating some of the patient fields. The two categories of personal default settings are Patient and User Preferences. These personal setting defaults automatically populate fields on the Patient Demographics and Vaccinations pages. To access the personal default settings, click the Settings > Personal menu link.

At the top of the Personal Settings page are a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. Click the plus (+) sign to expand all of the default settings, and click the minus (-) sign to close them. Alternately, you can open and close each section individually.

To access the fields in a section to enter information, click the Update or Add button for that section. Click Save when finished entering information.

Stop sign icon CAUTION: Remember to save your changes! If you click on a link in the menu before saving your changes, the changes are lost.

If an error occurs, the error message appears in red at the top of the screen.

Update Contact Information

Enter contact information for the user. Available fields are Street, City, State, Zip Code, County/Parish, Work Phone, and Email (required). The State and County/Parish fields are drop-down lists.

Patient Defaults

Enter or select information for the following patient default fields: City, State, Zip Code, and Phone Area Code. The information entered or selected here appears as the default entries in these fields on patient-related pages, but can be overridden.

User Preferences Default Settings

These settings are the user's personal default settings. Click Update to access the options and configure your default settings. Click Save when finished.

The settings that can be configured in this section are as follows:

Field

Description

Always use defaults on patient edit

When enabled, the default settings listed in Personal Settings will override existing values in the Patient Demographic Record. On the Patient Edit screen, the checkbox to populate defaults will automatically be selected.

Default Patient Search Field

Select which field the cursor is placed in when a screen displays. This is useful when using a barcode scanner (e.g., position the cursor in the SIIS Patient ID/Barcode field on the Patient Search window for easy barcode scanning). The default cursor position when this is not set is the patient's First Name. The other two options are Last Name and SIIS Patient ID/Barcode.

Patient Name Order

Select in which order the patient name should be displayed: First Then Last, or Last Then First.

Automatic City / State / Zip Code / County/Parish Population

When this option is selected, these fields will automatically populate when they appear on any screen: City, State, Zip Code, County/Parish/Borough, or Census Area Population fields. To disable the automatic population of these fields, deselect the checkbox.

Note icon If the country is not the United States, this option must be deselected (disabled) to allow both letters and numbers to be entered into the Zip Code field on the Patient Add/Edit screens.

Use Arrow Navigation on Vaccination View/Add Screen

This setting is state-configurable and enables a user to use the keyboard's arrow keys to navigate around on the Vaccination View/Add page. To enable the use of the keyboard arrow keys for navigation, select this option. To disable the use of the arrow keys for navigation, deselect the option.

Vaccine List Sort Order

Use this setting to configure the preferred order of vaccines on the Lot Number List page. Examples:

  • Facility Group, Facility
  • Facility
  • Expiration Date (default order is the nearest date on top)
  • Manufacturer (second order)
  • Lot Number (third order)
