Set personal preferences

After a Bp VIP.net administrator creates a user account, the user can set personal preferences for some Bp VIP.net workflows. Personal preferences will over-ride facility preferences when the user logs in to Bp VIP.net.

For example, a user might prefer the Tasks screen to open whenever he or she logs in, or a specialist might prefer a specific UDF to appear over the Medical Desktop when F11 is pressed.

How do I access my preferences?

Select Setup > Personal Preferences. The Personal Preferences screen will be displayed.
Go through the tabs and adjust the settings to suit your working style. Not all of the tabs will be relevant; for example, the Medical tab is for providers using the Medical Desktop. Untick Use Facility Preferences to override the settings in the Setup > Facility Preferences screens.
Click OK.

You can also set workstation preferences, which set defaults for the Bp VIP.net workstation regardless of who is logged in.
