4. Troubleshooting
A client/participant has a profile but no associated Medical or Appointments
- If a client/participant reports issues during the registration process and their appointment has a status of Pre-assigned, search for a Client/Participant Profile.
- If a client/participant has a profile but no associated appointment or medical, this indicates the registration process was incomplete.
- If a client/participant did not complete the final step of the registration process, their appointment will remain with a status of Pre-Assigned.
- If they try to log in to their account, they will be asked for an Invitation Code.
Solution 1 - inform client/participant how to complete booking:
- The client/participant will need to go back to their invitation email and click on the link to accept and register your account.
- As they have an existing Profile, this time the client/participant needs to click on Login.
- In the Review and Confirm window, the client/participant should click on Confirm.
- The booking will now be confirmed and the client/participant can proceed to complete their questionnaire.
- On the provider side the client/participant will now have an associated appointment and medical.
Solution 2 - complete the booking for the client/participant:
- From the schedule view, select the appointment time and change the status to Free.
- Click on Book.
- From the Assign to Existing Client/Participant tab, begin typing the client's/participant's surname and select the required client/participant from the list.
- Select Send booking notification to client/participant and click on Schedule.
- From the next window click on Create Medical.
- The client's/participant's appointment will now be booked with an associated Medical.
A Client/Participant cannot access their online account / view their report
- An online account must be confirmed to enable a client/participant to log in and view their report.
- If the client/participant account has a status of Pending Confirmation, this indicates that the client/participant has not clicked on the link in the booking confirmation email to confirm their account.
- Solution: Advise client/participant to review the booking confirmation email and click on the link to confirm their account.
- They should check their spam folder if an email has not been received.
The confirmation email link will expire after 7 days. A new one can then be requested from the client's/participant's profile page.
- Once an account is successfully confirmed, the date and time of confirmation will be displayed on the Client/Participant Profile page.
