Nopali Administrator Help

Nopali User Management

The Nopali Administrator is used to manage Nopali users. With the Administrator application you can create users, determine their Nopali privileges, as well as disable users.

Basic User Management

The Nopali Administrator Application is used to create and manage user accounts. Go to the 'Users' tab:

Nopali Administrator User Manager

The main interface lists the users that have accounts in the Nopali database. To the right of the user list, there are buttons to manage different aspects of user accounts:

Nopali Administrator User Account Buttons

• Enable/Disable User: You cannot delete user accounts because an account may be linked to data entry. Instead, accounts may be disabled by pressing this button.
• Edit User: Pressing this button will bring down an edit sheet for a particular user. This can also be done by double-clicking on a row in the user table.
• Change Password: A password may be reset for a particular user by pressing this button.

Creating A New User

To create a new Nopali user, press the 'Create New User' button:

Create New User Button

After pressing this button, a panel is presented in which you enter the login name and initial password for the new user. An important point is that the login name must be lowercase and cannot have spaces. Also, the login name cannot be changed, so type carefully!

Create New User Panel

After pressing 'Create User', the user edit sheet will come down to enter user demographic data. Most are immediately obvious, but some data needs clarification:

User Edit Panel

• Label: The user 'label' is what is used when representing the user in the Nopali interface. The label should not be changed for 'doctor' users since this will invalidate the Nopali license. Modifying non-doctor user labels will not affect the license.
• Staff Member/Doctor: The Staff Member versus Doctor radio buttons are used to designate the type of user. Doctor users can perform billing and account reconciliation. Doctor users are also required to pay a yearly license fee. Be careful when creating a new doctor user since it will require an update to the Nopali license. Also, doctor users cannot be reverted to non-doctor user status.
• Specialty Code: This information is used for US Insurance Billing. Press the '?' button to find the appropriate specialty code. An internet connection is required to perform this search.

User Privileges

The User Edit Panel contains a location to manage user privileges. Pressing different checkboxes in this interface will fine-tune the allowable privileges for a particular user:

User Privileges Box

• Super User: Superuser privileges will allow the user to see and modify any data in the database. Superusers are the only users that can delete files from the 'Media' view.
• Medical: Users with this are allowed to enter data into patient charts. This is the minimal privilege to give a user.
• Schedule: Scheduler priviledges allow the user to make modifications to the calendar settings.
• Accounting: Accounting users are allowed to see the Office Ledger view. Users without this will be able to see Patient Billing information, but not the Office Ledger.
• Inventory: Users with this privilege can modify the Inventory data.
• Images: In order to see the Media view, users must have this privilege. However, these users will not be able to delete media files. Only superusers can delete media files.
• Diagnosis: Users with this privilege can modify Diagnosis and Intervention table data.
• Insurance: Users with Insurance privileges can see the Office Insurance view. Users without this can stll see the Patient Insurance view and enter data into this view.
• Quotes: Quotes privileges will allow users to see the Office Insurance view. Users without this can still create quotes for patients but are unable to see the Office Insurance view.
• Data Export: To export data, users would need this privilege.
• Delete Files: To delete files from the Media View, users would need this privilege.

Using this system, you can fine-tune the privileges you give to the different staff members in your office.
