Buttons that can be edited
The Results Inbox has two views, one seen by staff with Full Rights and another seen by staff with Limited Rights. Each of these views has different sets of buttons called Speed Buttons, some of which can be customised.
Full Inbox Rights
Users with Full Inbox Rights to the Results Inbox see a row of 7 Speed Buttons, and the first 4 buttons can be customised. The image below shows the default view.
When you use the Edit feature, shown below, the 4 Edit Buttons fields correspond to the first 4 Actions buttons. The other 3 buttons are hard-coded and cannot be customised. However, the Update Result button can have the Sent to and Default action changed as explained in the next section.
Limited Inbox Rights
Staff with a limited level of access will only see 3 buttons, and first 2 buttons can be customised. Limited Inbox access is commonly used for staff who scan letters, attach patients etc.
When you use the button Edit feature, shown below, the last 2 Edit Buttons fields correspond to the first 2 Actions buttons.
