• Ask for Staff Key
  The application asks for staff key from users before making various changes. For example the application will ask you for your staff key whenever you register a new patient, create a bill, make a payment, make changes in the intray if you are a doctor. A form will be displayed when the system requires you to input your staff key for authentication. If this setting is unchecked, then the system will never ask for the staff key.
