This option is really a messaging system for use within the application. Internally there are five types of Messages. The Out Box shows all the messages sent by the Login User. He can sort them, delete them, read them. Read Date indicates when the Message was read by the recipient. This box is supposed to have a few entries only. Since it is expected that the majority message will be send by the system (Alerts / Notification). All radio button: Displays all incoming messages. ToDo radio button: Displays only incoming messages where flag is applicable. Type: The Type of Message. Notification: These are system generated intimations to Doctors when a predefined subscribed event takes place. In the context of the applications some events have been predefined. The configuration option allows the admin to subscribe to one or more of these events. These could be simple ones like Today's appointment of Mr John has been rescheduled, Or a New Patient has been referred by a Doctor. All radio button: Displays all incoming messages. Alert radio button: Displays only alert type of messages. Normal mail radio button: Displays only Normal Mails. Notification radio button: Displays only Notification type of messages. Telephonic radio button: Displays only Telephonic type of messages. ToDo radio button: Displays only incoming messages where flag is applicable. Urgent radio button: Displays only urgent type of messages. Alerts: These are also system generated intimations to Doctors when a predefined subscribed event takes place. The difference being that the Doctor is expected to act on it. A nurse enters a new Lab Order and the Doctor is expected to Approve it. Like wise he needs to Approve the Lab Results which have come in. Normal Message: This is more like short email messages, which can be send to any authorized user within the application. Urgent Message: This is like a Normal Message but with a different categorization to indicate priority. Telephonic Message: Message to be send to a User within the Application when that user was busy and had received a telephone, attended by the sender. Flag: Flags are used to track messages with action. These same messages can also be viewed by selecting the ToDo radio button. If the action is complete the flag is not displayed. Scheduled actions are indicated with a Green flag and overdue actions with a Red flag. To: Receiver's name which is hyperlinked to take the user to the concerned message. Subject: Message subject. Action: Action to be taken, if applicable. Zoom To: A click on this button takes the user to the referenced document. Read Date: Message read date. Sent Date: Message sent date. Due Date: Due date for Action. The System takes care of Message box size. The messages are automatically purged after number of messages exceeds a particular number. This number is defined in the property, Mail related params > mail.purgecount, and can be specified as per user requirements. The Messages can be sorted by clicking on each of the underlined column headings.
