#89 - Week ending September 30^th, 2022

Welcome to this weeks 'Take 5', your 5 minute weekly Optinet roundup. If you need clarification on any points or have questions drop an email to support@optinetuk.com or raise a ticket in the portal.

The ability to take payments against multiple receipts has been added in the next release.

'Patient Account Family Spend' relies on patients being linked together in families (don't worry if they aren't, you can manage families from within the till).

All outstanding receipts are listed allowing the user to quickly select those that are to be paid off - the total is displayed on screen. Payment is made via a top-up to the patient account and then allocated to each selected receipt.

Optinet & National Eyecare Group will be exhibiting at the 'AIO & BABO 2022 Conference' this weekend - if you are attending please stop by and say hello.

More details, including the conference programme are available by clicking the button below.

New Suppliers

We are working on adding more suppliers all the time, if there is a particular supplier you would like to see in FCS then please contact your frame rep and encourage them to contact us - they can email any questions to support@optinetuk.com

Staff Tasks

Did you know that you can add staff tasks to FLEX, to remind yourself or someone else that a task needs completing?

Staff tasks can be assigned to an individual staff member or a group of people, they can even be sent by email (requires an email address on the staff record).

A handy homescreen widget lets staff see what tasks have been assigned to them.

Tasks can be linked to a patient record or simply left unassigned where the task is more general.

Actions can be added, building a history that means everyone linked to the task is kept up to date.

Staff Roles

Staff roles allow the grouping of staff members and setting of security & access permissions and which reports are available to the group.

To access the role setup screen go to:

Menu -> Setup - >Staff / Roles -> General -> Double-click the role to be updated

New roles can be created using the menu buttons across the top of the window, you can also copy an existing role.

For detailed information about each option, please open a support ticket by emailing support@optinetuk.com
