Access the Wizard by going to Configure->Add User/Provider Wizard

Wizard Page 1 - Basic Details

Enter the initials of the new provider. If these already exist, an error message will alert you to this.

When it asks you whether it is a provider click No.

Click Next

Wizard Page 2 - Security

Enter (or select with the selector buttons) the appropriate Security Group (for example "DENTIST").

Specify whether this user has administrator privileges (Yes / No).

Set the password options according to your practice’s security policy. Password security can range from light (password never needs changing) through to strict (forcing the user to change their password regularly).

Optionally set a password for the user, and if necessary force them to choose a new confidential one of their own the next time they log in to the system.

The following options define the user’s password - how often it must be changed.

User must change password at next Login: For a new user or one who has forgotten their password. Either assign them a password in the ‘Password’ field and inform them what it is, or leave it blank. Either way, they must set a password next time they access EXACT.

User cannot change password: Use this if for some reason passwords are to be permanent, and/or are set by the administrator. This will be the user’s password until this option is unticked or the password is changed using this window.

Password never expires: The lowest level of security, particularly if the Password field is left blank. The password will remain the same unless changed in this window. If this option is ticked, the "change every [] days" is disabled.

User must change password every [ ] days: The highest level of security, particularly if the number of days is set very low (which can also be irritating for the user). You can use this with the other options unticked, or tick the ‘User must change password at next login’ option when setting up new users.

Select books or rooms by placing a tick in the box on the line describing the appointment book.

When you click the Next> button, if the newly created provider is not already present on each of the ticked books, (s)he will be added as a wide column to the end of each of the ticked books. If a narrow column is required, you will need to edit the book.

Wizard Page 10 - Additional Appointment Book and Queue Details

Set the Provider's default Appointment Book parameters.

The Stickman Queue refers to the state of the patient within the Appointment Workflow: Arrive > In the Chair > Depart.

(Patient arrives in reception > Patient is moved to chair by Provider and treated by Provider > Patient departs through reception)

The Provider sees "stickman" icons of patients waiting to be moved to the chair:

The Animate Stickmen option allows you to specify animated actions that patient icons perform after x minutes of waiting.

For example for the default settings, a patient stickman icon will start toe tapping after 1 minute, Yoyo playing after 5 minutes, Yawning after 10 minutes, and Sleeping after 15 minutes.
