Position of Navigation Palette. The Navigation Palette allows you to keep track of what windows you have open in Genie and alert you to any outstanding Tasks, Results, Letters etc. This makes for quick navigation around Genie.

Open Patient’s List at Startup. If you are a solo practitioner, or do not use the Appointments Book, then selecting this option will open the Patients List rather than the Appointments Book when Genie is launched.

Display Patient Mugshots Allows you to display a picture of the patient when you open either their Demographics window, or their Clinical record.

The picture needs to be attached to the patient's file via the Image Browser, assigning it a Type of "Mugshot" (see Viewing Images).

Create a separate email account for me Creates an email account for this user as the default when using the Genie Email module (see Email module).

Confirm Quit gives an extra confirmation box when quitting out of Genie.

Disable Main Window Close Box (Windows only) prevents the user from accidentally quitting out of Genie by clicking the red cross of the main Genie window.

Display Patient Memo for X seconds Allows you to determine how long a patient's memo will remain on display when booking in an appointment. Minimum onscreen time is 1 second. Setting this as 0 will still result in memo being displayed for 1 second

Appointments

Don't send SMS reminders for my appointments refers to the Genie Two-Way SMS process which allows SMS reminders to be sent to patients automatically at a specified time before their appointment. If you do not want this process to run for your patients then tick this option.

I do not bill inpatient services through the appointment book Ticking this box will prevent the display of the dialog box asking whether an invoice is to be Inpatient or Outpatient, when billing from the Appointment book. This would be relevant to a General Practitioner who would not usually be billing for inpatient services or a Specialist who may only bill for inpatient work from the Patient List or directly from the procedure.

Play a sound when a patient arrives in the waiting room for this user.

Invoicing

Show Me In the Billing Menu You must have this selected if you are a provider of services, otherwise your name won’t appear in the menu in the New Item window.

Warn me of Future Dated Services Having this ticked means that Genie will alert you when billing if you enter a service date which is in the future.This should be ticked for non clinical staff that do the billing to be sure they do not bill an invoice that is future dated by mistake eg. invoicing from a future appointment instead of today's.

Use Type-Ahead When Billing means that Genie will try to predict the complete item number you are entering.

Correspondence

Save Word Letters as Attachments This option should be ticked if the user prefers to type in Word rather than directly in Genie's letter writer. Explanation of using Word through the referral/reply template can be found in the Button Description section of Referral/Reply Letters. Once the letter is reimported into Genie using the red W in the Referral/Reply letter it will actually be saved as an attachment rather than as Correspondence Out. This is to avoid any issues with Word crashing Genie on some occasions.

Make Letters Undeletable when Reviewed Having this ticked prevents letters from being deleted after they have been reviewed by the Doctor.

Mark Letters 'Ready to Send when Reviewed' indicates that once letters have been ticked as Reviewed, they will be marked as ready to send. This option is best suited to clinicians who review their letters once typed by a secretary or typist.

Mark Letters 'Ready to Send Immediately'' indicates that letters will be ready to send once created and saved. This option is best suited to clinicians who create their own letters.

Default Zoom in 4D Write Areas When opened, all letters will be automatically be zoomed to this percentage of the actual size of the letter area. This includes the contact display area in the Consults window.
