Action - Jump to a Function

There is an option on choices to "jump to" a pre-determined function.

For example, there are instances where a facility may have a large number of residents who leave the facility several times in the course of a week due to certain conditions.  When this happens, it is impractical to keep adding status records for the resident.  Now a Choice can be set up to jump to a Function, i.e., "resident out of facility."  This function will delete all schedule records for the resident for the current shift.  This way the resident will not inaccurately affect the compliance level.

To jump to a function

Select a function from the drop down list, then click Set Function.  A prompt will appear asking if you want to apply this selection to all choices.  To apply this selection to all choices for the current question, click Yes to the prompt.  Click No to apply the function to the selected choice only.

To add a follow up question or series

1. Tap the Set Follow Up button next to the choice that requires a follow up series or question.
2. To jump to a Series, tap the Set Series button.  Then select the series from the drop down box.
3. To jump to a question, tap the Set Question button.  Select the series containing the follow up question and tap Set Series.
4. Select the question from the drop down box and tap Set question to return to the setup page.

Note: only those with Administrative user rights will be able to add or edit Questions on the Kiosk.

Multiple Languages

There are now "globes" that can be selected when multiple language sets are available (as a custom program, not available by default).  These globes appear on the Category/Series/Question Maintenance. For Kiosk help, click the "gears" to access multiple language setup.  If a Multiple Language set (for example, Spanish) is available, the user can select this language per staff (on the Staff maintenance screen) so that certain staff see "Spanish" and others see the default of "English".
