Introduction to Records and Record Types

The system uses Records Types to enable you to work with different types of people and organisations. Each record type can be configured as required:

• Renamed - Each record can be renamed as required.
• Tabs - Pages on the record to contain fields.
• Fields - Each tab can be configured to display required fields.
• Blue Links - Facilities and tools at the bottom of the record.
• Additional Record Types - Bespoke record types can be added.
• Activated/Deactivated - Each of the record types can be switched on or off.

To make any of the changes listed above please see Customise Orgs & People for full details and restrictions.

In addition to the record customisation you can restrict users from records using Group Access and limit what fields are displayed using Field Sets on Project Set Up.

Searching for a record

On the menu go to the Contact Management Menu Tab and underneath Orgs & People select the record type you wish to search. You will then be taken to either the search page or the A-Z directory (results page) (this is configured in Operation Rules).

The Search page is displays the fields that are specified in Customise Orgs & People, Edit fields.

At the top of the search panel you will find a 'Jump to [Record type name]' field, simply type the persons/organisations ID number in the box and click the Flash Icon to be taken to the record.

If you do not know the ID number for a record you can use the search fields. A combination of fields can be use together, however the search will only display records that match all of the criteria specified. You can use parts of works, post codes and numbers to perform a search as long as they are found in the entered format and order (Example TA1 will find TA1 1AA, T1 will not find TA1 1AA). In addition to the fields displayed you will find:

• Anonymised Records - Specify whether to include anonymous records (recorded via Record A Contact (Anonymous) or Anonymised using Cleanse or Anonymise Records).
• Active - Whether to include records set to active/inactive or both.
• Type of Professional - This is only visible when searching for a Professional Record type, if this field is on a record search that is not professionals then it has been renamed. You can specify to search for GP's, Non GP's or all.

Click on the 'Search Now' button to perform the search.

At the top of the search results the system will display the number of results found versus the total number of matches.

• # of Results - The number of matches found in that record type matching the specified search criteria.
• # of total record matches - The number of matches across all record types as well as inactive records on the system. You may be displayed a 'Search All' button which will allow you to view the total records (this requires access to Extend Orgs/People search in Group Access).

To access a record simply click on the 'View' button or if displayed the name.

If the record you are searching for can not be found, and you are expecting to find them, then you can check the following:

• Check that you entered the details correct, click search to check the criteria. It maybe that you system is set to save previous searches and there is an auto completed field from a previous search.
• Has the record been made inactive? Re-run the search on active set to both or click on the 'Search All' to display additional results.
• Are you searching for the correct record type? If the person/organisation is a different record type you can use the extended search ('Search All' button) to find the record and make add it to the record type you are searching.
