Updating files from your inbox

You can easily update several attributes of files or documents received in your inbox. For example, you can change the owner and notify them if the received file isn't assigned to anyone or was incorrectly assigned to you. You can also enter the number of abnormal results, or select file tags for easier search and retrieval. This is really helpful when dealing with incoming documents such as patient-specific faxes or lab results.

Steps

1. From the main menu, click Inbox.

2. Click to open the desired file.

💡 Tip: From this window, if the file isn't assigned to a patient, you can assign it to an existing patient. Click the red magnifying glass icon or, to create a new patient, click the red +Create Patient button and assign the file to them.

3. Click Doc info. The Update Received File window opens.

4. In the Update Received File window, update the file as follows:

Field	Description
Patient File	Attach another file, if required.
File Name	Change the file name, if required.
Description	Type a description for the document.
Owner	To associate an owner to the file, click to select one from the list. Your administrator can make this field mandatory (Settings > Patient File > Require file ownership by default).
Notify New Owner	When associating an owner to the file, select this checkbox to notify them. The new owner receives the file in their inbox. 💡 Tip: If you already assigned a new owner to the file but forgot to notify them the first time, simply go back to the Update Received File window > select the Notify New Owner checkbox > click Save. The owner is notified.
