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

• Show on screen - This column specifies which tab 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 tabs 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 sections based on each tab.

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.

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.

Creating A Record

A record can be create after a search has been performed, you can only create the record type for the search selected.

Create New

Create new will create a new record without the need of creating a referral/case immediately. This option is ideal if you wish to set up additional items like Next of Kins or relationships.

Record A Contact for a new client

This option is only available for the client record type. When creating the new record you will be displayed a list of fields specified by the Client minimum data set, the you will continue to the Record a Contact to create the referral/case and contact information.

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). 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)

File:Cl MDS 2.png

The options as displayed on the Minimum Data Sets page

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

• Not Required - No Rules (essentially, ignore the field)
• Show on entry screen (But allow to be left empty (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)
• Warning - 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)
• Forced - 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)

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.

790px

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.

790px

Columns on the page are:

• Standard Field Name
• Field Entry Requirement - choose the appropriate option
• Alternate Field Name - if you wish, you can rename the field here, so the terminology suits your organisation.. This alternate name will be used on the Details Screen for that Type and also on the search screen, but only for the Type in question. At the moment the feature is only available for Clients, so renaming fields is only possible for Clients. When the feature is expanded to other Types then this feature will become available for them too. Note that the field may not be renamed on reporting outputs - the standard field name will be used there. It would be advised not to rename the following fields, as they have functionality within the system;
  • 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

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.

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.

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)...

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