About

The Portal tab of the System Preferences window contains default values specific to functionality with the InteliChart products, OP Patient Portal, and OP Notify.

  • Default Document Expiration Date: Select the number of days a document shared to the portal will be visible to the patient/parent. A zero in this field indicates that there is no expiration date defaulted, and the user will have the opportunity at the individual Document-level to set a specific expiration date. 

  • Notification Preference (OP Notify): Select this checkbox if you want users assigned to the IC Appointment Request Department to receive a message in the OP Message Center when an appointment is cancelled via OP Notify. Click here to learn how to assign staff to Departments in OP. 

Tip: Setting this preference is recommended so that practice staff is aware of appointment cancellations made by the parent/guardian via OP Notify.

  • Portal Authority: Select this checkbox to hide the Portal column located in the Family Contacts sections of the Patient Chart. This field was previously used to grant parents/guardians access to the portal. However, in relation to the InteliChart Patient Portal, this is a reference-only field and has no functionality for giving access to the InteliChart Patient Portal.
