Entity Settings

Entity Settings are essential for ensuring that a Practice's operational and administrative processes run smoothly and efficiently. Since these settings are configured per Entity rather than per User, they allow for a customised system setup that aligns with the specific needs and workflow of the Practice. By defining how key functions operate - such as Invoicing, Payment Requests, Cash Register usage, and Diary Access - Entity Settings ensure consistency across the Practice while still allowing flexibility in how different entities function. This level of customisation enhances efficiency, improves financial and administrative control, and ensures that the system supports the Practice's unique requirements, ultimately contributing to better overall management and service delivery.

  • Click on the Entity Settings panel.


    • The Entity Settings panel will expand.


      • For more information regarding all the options on the Entity Settings panel, please refer to the user manual: Entity Settings.

  • Click on the Online Profile panel.


    • The Online Profile panel will expand.



VoIP Settings
A VoIP Call (Voice over Internet Protocol) allows you to make voice calls using an internet connection instead of a regular telephone line. Calls made to a VoIP number allow sharing of a phone number across multiple devices, which means the call can be answered from any device, which will eliminate missed calls from Patients. VoIP calls are cheaper than regular calls and have a higher-quality sound.
