šŸ“ Overview

Any user that will be logging into your DaySmart Vet account will need a staff profile. Each profile allows for specific settings, such as the users role, which dictates how much access a user has within the system. Depending on the role, the user will have certain permissions, which can be adjusted.


āš™ļø How to Add, Deactivate & Reactivate Staff Accounts

This section will cover how to add a new staff profile, and highlight the different fields and options you have. Additionally, you will learn how to set the after hours options for staff, and how to deactivate a staff account that is no longer needed.

Adding a New Staff Account

Click the arrow to learn more

The process for adding a staff account depends on whether you are adding a new staff member within your allotted subscription amount or if you are expanding the number of users your clinic has.

šŸ’” If you're upgrading your plan, you will first need to navigate to the Settings module, click on the "Subscription" tab, and select "Edit Subscription". Here you can select the appropriate number of users to add new staff account(s) and see what the updated cost per month will be. Once you update your subscription, you can add a new staff account as follows:

  1. Click "Settings"

  2. Click "Staff"

  3. You will see a listing of currently active staff profiles.

  4. In the upper left, click "New Staff" (You will also be able to see how many unused profiles are currently available next to this button)

  5. Complete the form that appears, including selecting the staff member's role (more on this below). Please note that the email address has to be unique because it will be used by the employee to log into the account and receive password resets.

  6. Click "Save + Done" and the staff member will recieve a temporary password to login
