Windows Platform

When using Windows 7, it must be set up in 'Windows Classic Style.' To verify or change your Windows setting:

 

1. Right-click on the desk top.

2. Choose Properties.

3. Click on the Appearance tab.

4. In the <Windows and Buttons> field, click on the down-arrow and select Windows Classic Style.

 

If you do not know what version of Windows you are running, click on the [Start] button in the bottom left corner of your screen. A pop-up box displays your Windows version written vertically on the left.

 

Note for Linux and VOSINC clients:

If your office has the automation running on a workstation, not on your server, you needs to 'stop' and 'start' the services monthly. The types of clients this affects are:

 

Clients who have a Linux server and have the automation running on a workstation

VOSINC clients who were switched to have their automation on a workstation.

 

Please contact PCS Support for additional information.

 

Microsoft Extended Support Ended January 14, 2020
Microsoft announced the end of life (EOL) of all Windows 7, Windows 2008/R2, and Exchange Server 2010 on January 14, 2020. This means Microsoft no longer supports and sends critical security updates, leaving computer systems vulnerable to attack and exploitation. All workstations running Windows 7 must be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro and all servers running Windows 2008/R2 must be upgraded to Windows 2012, 2016, or preferably 2019 in order to stay HIPAA compliant. For further information or to schedule your server upgrade, please contact the Hardware Department.

Select [Yes] to start checking for misspelled words at the beginning of the field.  
NOTE: When the Spell Checker is launched, Intellect starts from the location of your cursor, so if your cursor was at the end of the line you need to select [Yes] to check the entire text.

 

Select [No] to close the Spell Checker window.

 

If no errors are found, this message displays:

 

 

Select [Ok] to close the pop-up.

 

 

Print Dialog Box

The print dialog box appears throughout Intellect for forms, reports, receipts, letters, and much more.

A dialog box displays (see sample below) with a title. The title changes according to the print job. In the example below, the title is Print Journal.

 

 

Printer properties:

 

1. <Printer>

 

1.1 When the print dialog box pops-up, the default printer set up on the Utility --►Set Up --►Printer --►Report screen displays in the <Printer> field.

 

To select a different printer:

 

View the list of printer codes either click on the <Printer> field arrow, OR press the [] (right arrow) on your keyboard. Click on the printer code, OR use the [ ] (up) and [ ] (down) arrows to highlight the correct code, and then press the [Enter] key to select.

 

- OR -

 

A printer may also be selected by pressing the first letter of the printer code on your keyboard. For example, press 'V' to view.

 

1.2 Please note the following:

 

If the report is set to a local job (Utility --► Set Up --► Printer --► Report Setup <Where> = L), then the printer you select must be connected to your workstation. If the report is set as server job (Utility --► Set Up --► Printer --► Report Setup <Where> = S), then the printer only needs to be connected to your server.

 

When you print the Apply Receipt Report (Receipt Payment), you must always send it to a local printer (a printer connected to your workstation). The program always creates this job as a local job, even if the report set up has been set as a server job. You can either choose to send the report to a local printer (one connected to your system), send the report to disk, or view the report (if PDF has been set up) and then print from the view option.

 

When printing (Exporting) to Excel, if this error message displays, call PCS support. "org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFWorkbook then some files need to be put onto the workstation.  For complete instruction please call Prime Clinical System support."

 

Documents may be viewed before printing. See View a Document in this documentation for detailed information.

 


 

PCM users only: Any Intellect report may now be exported to PCM in .pdf format for indefinite storage. Before reports may be exported, set up is required.

 

Effective version 14.08.28, selecting <Printer> 'PCM Chart ' saves the .pdf file in PCM without printing a hardcopy. In the online documentation, see Notes for PCM Users --►Misc Intellect Changes Affecting PCM --►Export Intellect Reports to PCM for additional information and set up requirements.

 

Effective version 16.02.22, selecting a <Printer> where Utility --► Set Up --► Printer --► Device <Save as Chart> is set to 'Yes,' prints the report to the selected printer AND saves a copy of the document in PCM. See Notes for PCM Users --► Misc Intellect Changes Affecting PCM --► Reports saved as chart for additional information and set up requirements.

 


 

2. <Number of Copies>:

 

2.1 This field defaults to either 0 (zero) or 1; both print one copy. If you wish to print more than one copy, enter the number of copies.

 

Fax/Email:

 

3. <Fax Number(s)>:

 

3.1 If <Printer> 'FAX' was selected, enter the fax number without hyphens or parenthesis. If there are two or more fax numbers, they should be separated by a comma. See Sending Faxes for additional information.

 

4. <Email Address(es)>:

 

4.1 If <Printer> 'EMAIL' was selected, enter the email address. If there are two or more email addresses, they should be separated by a comma. Set up is required before an email may be sent. See Email for set up information.

 

5. <Secondary Printer>:

 

5.1 When the programming file is set for multiple faxes, faxes print to the Secondary Printer if the fax number field for the recipient is empty.

 

5.2 When the programming file is set for multiple mailings, emails print to the Secondary Printer if the email address field for the recipient is empty.

 

Select the [Print] button to send your request to the printer. Select [Cancel] to exit the Print Dialog Box and not print the file/report.

Email Limit

 

Non-commercial email carriers have a cap on the number of emails that may be sent per day. If your current email carrier does not support the number of emails you need to send on a daily basis, you need to contract with a commercial email vendor.

 

 

Drop-down Lists

 

Throughout Intellect's many screens there are fields which have drop-down lists. For example:

... to display a list of choices for that field:

 

 

Select by double-clicking on the correct code, OR use the (up) and (down) arrows to highlight the correct code, and then press the [Enter] key to select.

 

For definitions or additional information for the choices, click on the field, OR press the [F2] key to display choice descriptions:

 

 

 

Searching Screen

 

With the focus in a field that accepts a code or name, a search of an underlying table may be made to locate codes, names, and descriptions via the Searching screen. For example:

 

 

You may search using the Code field or another field such as Name. After entering the search criteria, press one of the buttons at the bottom of the screen to initiate the search.

 

 

Search by Code

 

1. With the focus in a field requiring a code, press [F2] to display the Searching screen with the focus in the Code Column.

 

2. On the Searching screen, click on the <Code> field (see red arrow above) and enter as much of the code as you know followed by the * (e.g., 178*). Press [Enter] to display your choices.
If you would like to see all the codes and corresponding names in the system, click on the Code or Name field and press [F2]. Use the up/down arrow keys to find the correct code/name.

Search by Name

 

4. With the focus in a field requiring a name, type up to 6 characters of the Name. Depending on the screen you are on, press either [F2] or [Enter] to display the Searching screen populated with names that fit your entered criteria. Note: The use of the wild card character (*) helps when only part of a name is known. Intellect always searches first by name or description.

 

If you would like to see all the names and corresponding codes in the system, click on the Name or Code field and press [F2]. Use the up/down arrow keys to find the correct name/code.

 

5. To select the name from the list, either highlight the record and press the [Enter] key, OR double-click on the record.

 

 

Buttons on the Screen
