Settings

Configure institution-wide settings including notifications, AI document verification, MFA, compliance requirements, and LMS integrations

Settings

The Settings page allows administrators to configure institution-wide settings, including notification preferences, AI document verification, multi-factor authentication, compliance requirements, and LMS integrations.

Overview

Settings provide centralized control over how HealthTasks operates for your institution. Configure compliance templates, notification preferences, AI features, security settings, and learning management system connections.

Notification Settings

Compliance Alerts

Enable/Disable:

  • Toggle switch to enable or disable compliance-related email notifications
  • When enabled, weekly emails are sent about compliance requirements
  • Default: Enabled

Expiration Window:

  • Configure when compliance alerts are sent
  • Options:
    • Already expired: Send alerts only for items that have already expired
    • Expiring within 7 days: Send alerts for items expiring in the next 7 days
    • Expiring within 30 days: Send alerts for items expiring in the next 30 days
  • Only visible when compliance notifications are enabled
  • Default: Already expired

Notification Point of Contact:

  • Select one admin to receive all compliance and low seat alerts
  • Dropdown shows all active administrators in your institution
  • Can select "None" to disable contact assignment
  • Summary emails sent to selected admin weekly

Low Seats Alerts

Enable/Disable:

  • Toggle switch to enable or disable low seat warnings
  • When enabled, emails are sent when license seats are running low
  • Alerts sent to the selected compliance contact admin
  • Default: Enabled

How It Works:

  • System monitors available license seats
  • Sends alerts when seat count drops below threshold
  • Helps prevent running out of licenses unexpectedly

AI Document Verification

AI Auto-Rejection

Enable/Disable:

  • Toggle switch to enable or disable automatic document rejection
  • When enabled, AI automatically rejects documents with high confidence they are invalid
  • Rejection reasons include:
    • Wrong person (document doesn't match user)
    • Fake or fraudulent documents
    • Expired documents
    • Incomplete or incorrect documents
  • Default: Disabled

How It Works:

  • AI analyzes uploaded compliance documents
  • High confidence invalid documents are automatically rejected
  • Rejection reason provided to user
  • Users can still appeal or re-upload documents

Best Practices:

  • Enable for institutions with high document volume
  • Review auto-rejection history periodically
  • Consider enabling alongside auto-approval for efficiency

AI Auto-Approval

Enable/Disable:

  • Toggle switch to enable or disable automatic document approval
  • When enabled, AI automatically approves documents with high confidence they are valid
  • Approval criteria:
    • Document matches user identity
    • Document is authentic and valid
    • Document is current (not expired)
    • Document is complete and correct
  • Default: Disabled

How It Works:

  • AI analyzes uploaded compliance documents
  • High confidence valid documents are automatically approved
  • Approval happens immediately upon upload
  • No manual review required for approved documents

Best Practices:

  • Enable for institutions with high document volume
  • Review auto-approval accuracy periodically
  • Consider enabling alongside auto-rejection for efficiency
  • Monitor for any false approvals

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Role-Based MFA

Overview:

  • Configure which user roles must use multi-factor authentication
  • Users without MFA enrolled will be guided through setup
  • MFA enhances account security

Configurable Roles:

  • Preceptor: Require MFA for all preceptors
  • Admin: Require MFA for all administrators

How to Configure:

  1. Check the boxes for roles that should require MFA

  3. Users in selected roles will be prompted to set up MFA on next login
  4. Uncheck boxes to disable MFA requirement for roles

MFA Setup:

  • Users are guided through MFA enrollment
  • Can use authenticator apps or SMS
  • Required before accessing system features

Best Practices:

  • Require MFA for admin roles at minimum
  • Consider requiring for preceptors handling sensitive data
  • Balance security with user convenience
  • Communicate MFA requirements to users
