Usage:
In addition to the existing Email and Text Messaging alerts, each customer may be setup to receive the following daily alerts:
•Daily Inbound Cases & Shipments include all the cases received and shipped each day. It includes the carrier and tracking number for each case, as well as a link to the Case Evaluation if one exists.
•There are a variety of different email templates that can be used for the Daily Inbound Cases & Shipments. All the system email templates can be found in the Email Templates menu.
•Ex. In order to add the Case Evaluation links, you can choose to use the "Inbound Cases and Shipments - Case Ratings" email template. This adds a direct link to the Customer Portal case evaluation page, where the lab's customers can review and submit an evaluation for a case based on what is set up in your production environment. Please note that cases will need to be invoices and shipped to appear on the list for that day and a subscription to the Customer Portal will be required.
•Daily Invoices includes a PDF file listing all invoices for the day. This alert is associated to the Nightly Invoices email template and automation job.
•Both of these Daily Alerts require email templates to be set in Global Settings > Laboratory List > Laboratories > Edit Lab > Lab Templates
Both alerts are optional per customer and they are automatically emailed at a designated time at the end of each day.
