Administrative Functions
If your access privileges for Care Partner include ‘Elevated’ or ‘Admin’ access, you will be able to access part or all of the Administration area of the software. where the system setup and configuration takes place.
Note: Care Partner v2022.1 includes a significant redesign of the Administration area of the system, making it quicker and easier to:
- Find the configuration screen or settings you are looking for
- Add a new user to the system (using the new setup wizard which adds the User, associated Staff Member(s), Centre of Care access and Security Role in an easy step-by-step process)
Users with ‘Elevated’ or ‘Admin’ access can access the relevant parts of the Administration area by clicking their initials at the top right of the screen and looking for the ‘Admin Tools’ heading.
If your account includes ‘Admin’ access, you will see six expandable categories.
If your account includes ‘Elevated’ access (but not ‘Admin’ access), you will only see the ‘Access Management’ category - as Elevated Access users are only permitted to setup and manage access to the system, rather than change any system settings.
Move your mouse over the category you want - to open up the sections within that category.
Note: Once you have clicked to open a section, this will navigate you to the Administration area of the system, and the categories and sections will then be available on the left hand side so you can easily move between them.
The Administration area includes the following categories and sections
Category | Section | Purpose | Accessible by |
