FAQ - How Do I

Question
Display notes for employees locations departments or shifts
Answer

Ava will pop up information relevant to employees, locations, departments or shifts when the cell with their name is hovered over
Ad hoc Notes fall into two categories:
Notes that are a record of an event or events: "Spoke with dept manager to arrange X", etc.
Notes that are "permanent":  "Brigit now in charge", "administer pills xyz and or treatment", "Boggs pin Number 12345"

The notes that record events should NOT be pinned using the "Pin" button on the record card.


The notes that refer to status quo, such as "Brigit now in charge" and relate to the customer or department should be "pinned" using the "Pin" button on the record card.


In addition there are two extra ways information can be made to "pop up":

 

For employees:

There can often be a requirement to quote security information to a customer: e.g. PIN (Personal Identity Number) or DOB (Date of birth). These lines of information can be selected from any item recorded via setup:
Pop up notes 1


Then select employees:
Pop up notes 2

And then Pre-booking availability information
Pop up notes 3

 

Check any information line needed and save.

Pop up notes 4

 

This information will now appear when the employees name is hovered over in either booking or availability lists.

Pop up notes 5

 

For specific shifts that re-occur on a weekly basis, locations or specific departments:

Each shift for each day for each skill can have its own specific note.
Select the record card for the department and click on the Notes button:

notes button

 

Add or just pin selected notes using the Pin button:

Notes displayed hovering over the Company / Customer name will  be take from the Notes for the Company / Customer

edit notes 1

 

edit notes 2

 

The Department pop up works in a slighty more advanced way it displays both the notes for the department and shift specific notes:

Pop up notes 8

 

For shift by shift notes (as may be required for a care plan) you will need supervisor privilages:

Setup shift pattern:

Pop up notes 9

 

Select the skill to which the note will apply: (in this case a HCA)

Select the Notes tab:

Pop up notes A


Preselect the shift or shifts that the new note will apply to and
Write the note.

 

If you want to write the same note for more than one shift: select mutiple shifts:

Apply to the shifts by clicking the set notes button:

Pop up notes B

 

Pop up notes C

This will now be included in the pop up for the department when any shift meeting that specification is hovered over.

Pop up notes E
