Staff documented on the wrong Authorization - how do I fix this?
Administrators - [advanced]
On occasion, staff have accidentally documented on the wrong authorization for a period of time. This could be because they did not see the correct authorization within the dropdown of an Activity Record or they do not fully understand service definitions and which authorization to document under.
First and foremost, it is recommended Managers or Admins correct the root cause via staff training. Make sure to train staff on which authorization to use for their clients.
Second, SETWorks has features available to correct those Activity Records without starting from scratch or manually copying over documentation.
Terminology can be modified within SETWorks to better fit the needs of your organization. If the terminology in our articles are not the same on your site, talk to your local administrator to assist in translation.
