Access Strings

Summary

This enhancement to Access Strings introduces a new field-level custom permission that allows Site Administrators to limit a user’s ability to edit specific fields in RIS including a new AddOnly permission access level.

Feature Description

Previously, users were updating patient accounts erroneously (specifically the First Name and DOB fields) which was causing duplication and inconsistencies.

With this change, specific users can now be restricted from editing these or other fields in RIS, with the use of custom access strings and a new AddOnly permission level. This includes entering a value if the field was initially left blank.

Configuration Instructions

System Administrators must complete the following actions to enable this feature:
