Introduction

The system uses core records for organisation and people. This section of the system allows you to configure which record types are available and how they are configured. This screen is is split up into two areas:

  • Active Records
  • Inactive records

For each record type you are able to:

  • Edit - Rename the record, or copy over the layout of another record type
  • View/Edit Sections - Manage which tabs are used, the display order and the ability of renaming the tabs.
  • View/Edit Widgets - Customise where the widgets appear by dragging and dropping them to re-order. Or, drag and drop the widget to not appear at all.
  • View/Edit Fields - Allows the specification of which fields are used and on which sections they are displayed.
  • Rules (Minimum Data Set) - Allows you to specify rules to be used when fields are forced:
    • On creating a new record for all users.
    • On creating a record based on a users security group.
    • On recording a contact for a new client based on the project.
  • Roles - Allows you to control which org person type fits into the specified role on the system. By selecting 'Roles' for the relevant org person type, you can then control if that org person type appears in the lookup list for the ticked role.
  • Activate/Deactivate - Allows the record to be activated or deactivated.

  • Additional details - This lists the blue links that were previously at the bottom of a record.
  • Extension Databases - This lists any extension Databases that are linked to the record type
  • Not used - This lists the Sections that are currently not used or displayed on the record type.


Below is how to make changes:

  • Activate a section in the Not Used list - click on the left arrow symbol on the section in the Not Used List that you want to add to another section. This will move it to the bottom of the Extension Databases section. Use the left arrow again to move to the bottom of additional details and again to move to the bottom of Main Details. Alternatively you can drag and drop to the required location under the required heading.
  • Remove a section - Click on the x symbol on the section you wish to remove, this will move it to the bottom of the Not Used list. Alternatively you can drag and drop into the Not Active list.

  • Rename a section - Use the pencil symbol or double click on a tab to rename, enter the required label and press the enter key on your keyboard.

Click on the 'Save Details' to submit the changes.

Additional Sections for Records

Each record type will have a selection of built in sections. It may be required to have additional sections available for your record types. With the sections that you create you can either move existing fields to that section (see 'Edit Fields' below) or create bespoke fields using an Extension Databases to create bespoke fields.

Creating a New (bespoke) Section

To create a new Section:

  • Click on the 'Create a Section... link towards the top of the page.
  • Type the name of the new section.
  • Click the 'Go' button to create the section or click 'Cancel' to abort.

Deleting a bespoke Section

Sections that are created using the steps above can also be deleted, any fields that are on a section being deleted will simply be hidden and no data will be lost. Please note that built in Sections cannot be deleted, only hidden (see 'Editing Sections' below). To delete a bespoke section:

  • Click on the 'Delete a Section... link.
  • Click on the box next to the section to be deleted.
  • Click on the 'Delete selected' button to delete the section or 'Cancel' to abort.
  • On the prompt click OK to delete the section or 'Cancel' to abort.

Edit Fields

This allows you to select which fields are used on the record type, which tab they appear on and what order the field is displayed on that tab. It also allows you to specify how they interact with search pages. The below webinar explains this process and additional information is below.

You will find the following columns available to edit per field:

75

  • Show on screen - This column specifies which section the field is displayed on or if the field is hidden. If you hide an existing field the data in that field will not be lost. Select the Show/hide all fields to select/deselect all fields. After choosing which fields you require and on which sections they are displayed on it is worth clicking the 'Save Details' button on the bottom of the page. Saving the details will move the required fields into the identified sections.
  • Display Order On Screen? - Display order specifies what order the fields are displayed on the selected section. It is recommended the sections have a running display order (in tens) as this is shared with the System Search columns.

    • Results fields - The fields selected will be displayed on the record type's search results page. The display of the columns are based on the display order of the fields.
  • Pending Ref/External Search
    • Search Field - Allows you to specify if this field is used to search for the record in the Incoming Referrals/Web Forms Centre.
    • Externally Searchable? - Used with specific 3rd party applications, specifies which fields are available.

Click on 'Save Details' to submit the changes and stay on this page or 'Save and Close' to submit the changes and return to the previous screen. Please see below the list of available fields:

Minimum Data Sets

Minimum Data Sets allow you to specify the data that should be captured about a client. There are separate sets for identifiable clients and for anonymous clients (the latter is only used for the Record a Contact (Anonymous) feature). The below webinar explains the key features and additional information is below.

For identifiable clients, you can set up three types of Minimum Data Set:

  • Organisation-wide Rules (which apply to all users)
  • Project Rules (which only apply when the Record a Contact (for a new client) button is used; there is a separate Minimum Data Set for each Project)
  • Group Rules (which are applied to data entered by any user in a particular user group)

These Minimum Data Sets can be applied at three different points:

  • When using the Record a Contact (for a new client) button
  • When saving a client record (i.e. applies to creating new clients with the "Create New" button, and also to re-saving existing client records)
  • When making a New Referral for an Existing Client (i.e. the rules will be applied when a referral is made for a client already on the system, but you will be able to view and edit the client record itself without having the Minimum Data Set applied)


Minimumdatasets.png


Finally, there are four options for each field in Minimum Data Sets:

  • Don't Show - Field will not appear.
  • Show on page (only applies to the Record a Contact (for a new client) feature, where the Minimum Data Set defines what fields appear. On the Client Record itself, this option is irrelevant, because the fields that appear are defined on the Customise Orgs & People page)
  • Show - Warn if not filled in (this will make the field appear in yellow, and if a user tries to save the field with no data in it, they will be shown a popup warning prompting them to fill it in, but ultimately they will be allowed to leave it blank)
  • Show - Must be filled in (this will make the field appear in red, and users will not be allowed to save the field with no data in it. This means that any page that uses that field cannot be saved without that field being filled in)


Field rule option.png


Rules are always applied cumulatively

With so many options available, Minimum Data Sets can be confusing to set up. The key point is that Minimum Data Sets are always added to one another. You cannot set up a minimum data set that excuses someone from rules that apply from another set. For example, if you're creating a new client using the Record a Contact (for a new client) feature, there might be three Minimum Data Sets that apply:

  • The Organisation-Wide Rules which always apply for all users
  • The Project Rules for whichever Project you're creating the Referral in
  • The Group Rules for your own user group

In this scenario, if any field is required by any of the Minimum Data Sets, you will need to fill it in. If the "Surname" field is set to "Forced" in the Organisation-Wide Rules, then you must fill it in, regardless of whether it is required or not by the other sets of rules.

The most stringent rule from all Minimum Data Sets will be the one that's applied. If a field is set to "Warning" in one set of fields and "Forced" in another, it will be forced.

Setting up the Minimum Data Sets

Whichever set of rules you are configuring, the format is the same: if the rules don't already exist, there will be a "Create Rules" link. If the rules do already exist, there will be an "Edit Rules" link, and also a "Delete Rules" link if you want to delete them completely and start again.

In the screenshot, the organisation-wide rules have already been created, so there is an "Edit" link and a "Delete" link.

MDS editing rules.png

Clicking on the "Edit" link will take you to the configuration page. Each of the standard fields is listed, with the options in the column to the right.

MDS standard rules.png

Columns on the page are:

  • Standard Field Name
  • Field Entry Requirement - choose the appropriate option
    • Initials
    • Salutation
    • Post Code
    • Preferred Method of Communication
    • All phone numbers
    • Website and email addresses
    • Is This a Carer, GP etc
    • Include on Info Links
    • Main and Second referrer
    • DOB and Age Range
    • Status
    • Service User Group
    • Social Services ID
    • People in Household
    • Any Disabilities
    • GP Surgery and GP
    • School Year Offset
  • Notes - this column usually shows some information about what the standard field was originally intended for.


Filter through Fields

There is a "Filter through Fields" function at the top, which you can use to find the field you want if there are a lot of standard fields in use (in which case the page will get quite long) - just type in the box and the page will filter as you type.

Rules for Anonymous Contacts

MDS anon rules.png


The rules for Anonymous Contacts are set up in the same way as any other rules. The only difference is that the settings you choose will only affect the appearance and behaviour of the Record a Contact (Anonymous) page.

When the page is used, information about the anonymous person is collected on the same screen as the information about the Contact. The rules for Anonymous Contacts define which fields appear. You need to have some rules set up to use the feature, even if they are minimal - a good starting point would be to display the "name" field, so the setting would be as shown.


MDS create anon rule.png


Wait - a name on an anonymous contact?

This does seem a bit counterintuitive, but all Organisations/People in the system must have a name, even if they're anonymous. Anonymous clients are still saved in the system as clients, but their name defaults to "Anonymous Client" - this will already be in the "Name" box when the user opens the Record a Contact (Anonymous) page.

MDS rac anonymous.png

People created using the Record a Contact (Anonymous) feature have a background "flag" that marks them as anonymous. This is how they are excluded from certain features (like Data Extraction) if required.

Other information on Anonymous Contacts

Even if the client wishes to remain anonymous, you can still collect some data about them. For example, people will usually be happy to give their postal district and/or postcode, and you will be able to run reports with this information.

Setting the Anonymous rules like this (plus the Name)...

MDS anon rules created.png


...will display like this on the Record a Contact (Anonymous) page:

MDS anon new referral.png

Activate/Deactivate

Activated records can be used in the system and de-activated records are hidden. When making a record active you will need to update Group Access to allow the groups to use the record type. Making a record type inactive will not lose the records, they will simply not be displayed any longer.

  • Click Deactivate to turn off a record type.
  • Click Activate to activate a record type.

The record type will me moved to the appropriate section.
