Status Type Visibility

Your region can establish varying levels of control over the visibility of your resources and their statuses. The tighter the access, the more you can ensure that users cannot obtain information that does not pertain to them.

Example: You want your blood bank users to log in to EMResource to report the availability of specific blood types, but these users do not need to be able to view hospital bed and resource availability. You can limit these users’ access to blood bank information.

This topic covers your visibility options for a status type and provides an overview of steps to take for each option: Shared, Normal, Private. You can also restrict an individual user's visibility into a resource's status types. Refer to Users: Resource Rights for more information.

Option Summary

The Edit Status Type and Create Status Type pages contain three options for allowing view access to status types.

"Format type" refers to the format of the status type: Date, Multi, Number, or Text. It can also indicate the type is a calculation, as in NEDOCS Calculation.

Refer to the following graphic and table for descriptions of your options:

EMResource Status Type Visibility Option Summary

Status Type Visibility levels and options
Level	Option	Description	Scenarios
Shared	Allow regions with mutual data sharing agreements to view this status type	A Shared level of visibility indicates this region shares this status type with other regions (with which it has mutual aid agreements). When selected, all roles are automatically granted view rights and you cannot change these settings.	A user in another region can view this information as long as their administrator granted them access to other regions. In general, a user in this region can view this status type. Select this option for status types you intend to share with other Juvare applications. With this option selected, you cannot apply viewing restrictions in your own region.
Normal (role-based)	Users with appropriate roles within the region may view or update this status type	A Normal level of visibility makes it easy to give users the right to view a status type based on their role.	Users in this region can view the status type if their role can view it. An administrator removes an individual user’s visibility for specific resources by refining the user’s profile. Users in other regions cannot view this status type.
Private	Only users affiliated with specific resources may view or update this status type	A Private level makes it easy to restrict its visibility. The status type can be “hidden” from all users except those who should be able to see it.	A user in this region must be specifically affiliated with a resource to be able to view this status type. That is, the user must have at least one of the following rights: Associated With, Update Status, or Run Reports. The user’s role is not a factor in this type of visibility. Users with the View - Override viewing restrictions right may also view this status type. This right can be assigned on either the role or the user level. Users in other regions cannot view this status type.

If your region or an affiliated entity is using eICS (Juvare application), keep in mind that only status types with Shared visibility will be available to users of eICS.
If you share a status type, making it visible to users in other regions, all roles automatically have view rights and users cannot change these settings.
When a resource has no visible status types for a View, it does not show in that view. When a user has no visibility into a resource’s status types, that resource does not appear in any of the user’s View pages.
To update a resource’s status, the user must be granted that specific right.

Setting Up

To set up Shared visibility, do the following:

Shared Visibility actions
Element	Action	Refer to...
Resource	Select the Share with Other Regions checkbox	Create a Resource Edit a Resource

To set up Normal (role-based) visibility, do the following:

When you create a new role, by default users with that role have the right to view and update all status types.
