Notes |
Required Fields
In order for the registry to create and maintain a record for a client, school, etc., there is a minimum amount of information necessary that must be provided by a user. These select pieces of information are the Required Fields and are denoted in the registry by the blue information field labels as seen in the example below.
Mothers First Name
SSN Note
Once a social security number has been entered and saved, it will not be displayed. Instead, directly after 'SSN', the registry will display the social security number as '(On File)' or as a series of solid dots, depending on your user role. Therefore, take extreme caution when entering a clients social security number. If it is entered incorrectly and a search is executed on the manage client/immunizations screen using SSN, the client will not be located.
If your user role is Help Desk, System Manager, or Developer, you may make corrections to the SSN. If you have one of these roles, you will see a series of solid dots, which represents the existing SSN, and you may overwrite it with the new correct SSN.
