  3. Click the + sign next to Charts.  Click the + sign next to Documents.  Highlight the new Chart Section name.
  4. Assign security privileges to the new chart section as desired (green check means privilege granted, red X means the privilege is denied).

  6. Click the Close button to exit Security Administration.  The user should now logout of SOApware and back in for the new settings to take place.

Removing a Chart Section

Note: You cannot remove SOAPware’s default Chart Sections. This action can only be performed on chart sections that you have created.

WARNING: This operation should only be performed after you have assured that there are no other users currently working with patient charts. This will help to prevent the loss of patient data.

Reassigning Documents

Reassigning Documents

When a user wishes to remove a Chart Section, SOAPware will display a prompt for the location to place the Document(s) contained within that section. The Reassign Documents dialog box will open.

  1. Choose the Section in which to place the documents by Clicking to highlight it in the list.

  3. Then, Click the Reassign Button.

The documents contained within the section to be deleted will be moved, and the section will also be removed.
