Who this is for: All Barti users with send permissions in Kno2.

Before you start, you'll need:

  • A Kno2 account with send permissions

  • The recipient's fax number

  • The patient's first name, last name, date of birth, and gender

  • The document(s) you want to fax


Steps

  1. Click the blue New Release button on the right.

  2. Select a Type from the drop-down list. Your organization's custom release types appear first. The release type acts as your subject line.

  3. Select the To and From fax numbers if they aren't already filled in by the release type.

  4. Complete the required Patient Details: first name, last name, date of birth, and gender. You can use Patient Search to populate these fields.

  5. Add your attachments — click the + sign next to Attachments or drag and drop files into the box. All fax documents are converted to PDF before sending.

    • The following optional fields are available but not used for fax: Document Type, Confidentiality Level.

    • Document Date and Description are internal-only fields.

  6. Click Send in the upper right corner. The message summary modal appears.

  7. Optionally add Message comments (visible to the recipient) or a Disclosure reason (internal only).

  8. Click Confirm to send.

What you'll see when it works

A confirmation banner appears at the top of the page and you're returned to the Released Grid, where the fax appears with a status of Sending.


Troubleshooting

The To or From fax number field is blank and I can't find the right number.

Your organization's fax numbers are configured by your Kno2 admin. If the numbers you need aren't available in the drop-down, contact your admin to confirm the correct fax number is set up. To add contacts to the address book for easier lookup, see How do I add contacts to my Kno2 address book?.

My fax shows a status of "Failed" in the Released Grid.

A failed status means Kno2 was unable to deliver the fax to the recipient. Check that the recipient's fax number is correct. If the number is correct and the fax continues to fail, contact support@kno2.com.
