The set up of your documents will happen in co-operation with GECKO Booking. Therefore, it is important that you send an exact plan of the documents you want. The set up will then take the plan you have send as its starting point and the price will be determined thereafter. |
To create a new document go to 'Settings' -> 'Documents'. On the first page you can press the blue button 'Create document' at the top right corner. To create the document you need to enter the name of the document. This could e.g. be a referral from a dentist. Then you need to choose if the document should be created as a subdocument. To create the document as a subdocument means that the document you are about to create needs information from another document. The subdocument can only be created if a main document has already been created. When you have made these decisions, press 'Create' and the document will then appear on the list under 'Documents'. At the bottom of the page you can choose to be notified by SMS and/or email whenever something new happens regarding documents. If you wish to enter more phone numbers or emails, just put a comma between then. If you have an epad you can activate ePad-ink, which opens up the possibility to make an electronic signature on the document that you create. Next to this feature you can 'Activate quick signature'. This means that if you later create "spaces" of the type "signature", you will be able to allow that quick signature can be used to sign this space. Finally, you should press 'Update'. Then press 'Edit' opposite a document in order to be able ti edit it and proceed to the next 'step'. |
Versions:On the next 'step' you will be able to create a new version of a document if you e.g. wish to edit or add someting to an already existing document. If you edit a new document you should choose 'Create a new version' and 'No copy, create blank'. If you, on the other hand, wish to edit or add something to an existing document, you should choose 'Create new version' and the decide if the new version should be a copy of an earlier version. With this option you save a lot of time since you avoid having to set a whole new document up once again. Finally, put a tick under 'Published' opposite the new version and this version will then be the valid version. At the bottom of the page under 'Persons of interest' you have the possibility to choose who should be able to create the document can and thereby initiate the process. Here you have more options:
By putting a tick in 'Sequential number for document' you can activate automatic numbering of your documents. The system will automatically keep track of the numbers and in the space you can enter the number of the next document. You can use the substitution code [sequentialNo] in order to get the number on e.g. a PDF version of the document. When everything has been set, then press 'Update' and the versions you have created will appear on a list under 'Versions'. Opposite each version you can choose 'Edit' and thereby proceed to the next 'step'. Here you have the option of creating different groups of spaces that should be filled out in the document. |
Groups:The next 'step' allows you to create different groups. These groups are groups of spaces that should be filled out in the document. You might create groups called 'Referral' or 'Answer'. You create these groups by pressing 'Create group in the top right corner of the page. By entering numbers under 'Priority' you can decide in which order the spaces in the groups must be filled out. In this example, the spaces in the group 'Referral' must be filled out before the spaces in 'Answer' can be filled out. At the bottom of the page you will see three different text fields:
