Services Portal Managment Enhancements
The following enhancements and features have been added to the Services Portal Management.
Services Portal Management Menu Change
The Services Portal User Management label has been renamed to Services Portal Management under the Admin module, with two subpages:
-
The User Management page is used to search, add, or edit Services Portal user accounts. No change to the functionality.
-
The Announcements page has been added and is used to create and manage announcements to Services Portal users.
Announcements Page
An Announcements page has been added to the Service Portal Management feature (Admin > Services Portal Management > Announcements) used by Providers to create and manage announcements sent to Service Portal users from the system.
Use the Announcements page to search for specific messages according to status (All, Active, Scheduled, or Inactive) or by entering search criteria such as a date range and Recipient. Search results display on the bottom half of the page with details.
To create an announcement, click the Add Announcement button to open the Add Announcement window. Complete required fields by either selecting or entering the necessary information to create the announcement and click Save.
Providers can schedule an announcement to be visible (Active) on the Services Portal for a selected date and time range.
Click the ellipsis (…) under the Actions column to select an available action for the announcement. Available actions depend on the announcement Status (Active, Inactive, and Scheduled). For example, on a Scheduled announcement, select Edit, Set as Inactive, or View History (for the announcement), as shown in the image below.
Impersonate Feature
An Impersonate feature is now available for Providers to "impersonate" Services Portal users. The Impersonate feature allows Providers to access the Services Portal as the selected user to better understand the system, workflows, and provide effective assistance. In the Services Portal, impersonation provides Admins read-only access.
To impersonate a user, complete the following steps:
-
Navigate to the Services Portal Management > User Management page and search for the applicable user.
-
Locate the user in the search results and click the ellipsis (…) under the Actions column.
-
Select Impersonate from the options to access their user details and assume their role in the system. This connection automatically routes to the Services Portal.
Once in the Services Portal as the user, the information opens to the Shifts page. From here, Providers can search and see shift details (such as Date, Member, Scheduled Time, Confirmed Time, Duration, Service Code, Authorization Status, Next Action, and Actions).
Access is read-only. No information can be edited or deleted using the Impersonate feature.
Arabic Added to Services Portal Supported Languages
Arabic has been added to the Services Portal to support newly added markets.
