VIMS 5.16.12.4 Administrator User Guide

Personal Settings

Personal settings (Settings > Personal from the menu) are used in various places throughout the application to automatically pre-populate, which saves data entry time. There are eight categories of personal settings, but only four are related to the VOMS module and are discussed in this guide. See the IWeb documentation for information about the other Personal settings.

The personal settings automatically populate the data fields primarily on the patient demographic and vaccination screens.

For registry client, IRMS client, and facility client users that have the Default Vaccination Management permission configured, a checkbox can appear directly above patient settings. This permission allows facility settings to be established for an entire facility. Click the checkbox to override the settings.

At the top of the Personal Settings page are a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. Click the plus (+) sign to expand all of the default settings, and click the minus (-) sign to close them. Alternately, you can open and close each section individually.

At the top of the page is a Use Facility Settings option. Select this option to have the configured Facility settings override the personal settings.

To access the fields in a section to enter information, click the Update or Add button for that section. Click Save when finished entering information.

CAUTION: Remember to save your changes! If you click on a link in the menu before saving your changes, the changes are lost.

If an error occurs, the error message appears in red at the top of the screen.
