Brief Description: This configuration key will change staff dropdown fields into typeable search fields. This was created to address slowness issues when a system had a large number of staff users.
Details: There are fields on certain screens that have a staff field. This configuration key determines the type of field this field will be. The options are either a dropdown or a typeable search field. For large counties, CalMHSA recommends the typeable search field. If you have enough staff, using the dropdown option may lead to slowness as the system tries to load all of your staff into a single field. It also makes it difficult for the user to select a staff from thousands of options rather than be able to search for the staff. This impacts the following screens:
- Documents
- Service Details
- Service Notes
- Batch Service Entry (Multi-Service Entry) and Team Scheduling Details
- Group Service Detail
- Scanning List
- Inquiries List
- Inquiry Details
Default Value: No
This means that in staff selection fields in the screens above, the fields will be dropdowns.
Allowed Values: Yes, No
Yes will mean that in staff selection fields in the screens above, the fields will be typeable search fields.
