The 'Roles' feature in the Med App allows you to control which users can view specific content. By configuring content visibility based on roles, you ensure that users only see the information relevant to them.
Why Use Roles?
Using roles to filter content helps streamline the user experience. For instance:
A registrar starting at a new hospital may not need to see the intern orientation schedule but will want access to their department handbook.
Supervisors or senior clinicians can be more interested in assessments, forms processes and career rather than content aimed at interns and registrars.
Setting Up Role-Based Content Visibility
Follow these steps to make content viewable only by selected roles:
Open 'Articles':
Select a tile where you want to add new content or update existing content.
Create or Edit a Heading:
You can either create a new heading or open an existing one.
In this example, we'll edit an existing heading. By default, the setting is configured for 'Everyone across all disciplines.'
Configure Role Visibility:
Click the checkbox next to 'Everyone across all disciplines' to deselect it.
Select the specific roles you want to grant access to the content.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the right users have access to the appropriate content, enhancing their experience with the Med App.
Future improvements: The team is currently working to develop a more in-depth role allocation system that will give account and location managers better control of content access and help to deliver the most relevant information to clinicians.
