About
When your Agency goes live with NSS, there is an existing set of Disciplines available in the Billing Engine. If you hire staff with a different Discipline than what is listed in the Billing Engine, you need to add a new Discipline option to System Codes. A drop-down menu has a specific Code Type associated with it. In order to add a new Discipline so that it shows in the drop-down, it's important to know which Code Type is associated with the drop-down in the window that you are in.
Add a New Discipline
- Navigate to the System Codes List by following the path above.
- In the Code Type Locator field, enter DC. Review all DC entries in the System Codes List to make sure you are not adding a duplicate.
- Click the Ok button.
- Click the Add button.
- Complete the following fields:
- Code Type: Enter the Code Type. For this example, it is DC.
- Code Value: Enter the number value of where you'd like the Discipline to be ordered in the list. For example, if you currently have three disciplines with values 1, 2, and 3 and want this to be the fourth option in the list, enter 4 here.
- Code Xref: May be left blank.
- Short Description: May be left blank.
- Long Description: Enter a description for the Discipline. This is displayed in the Code Description column in the System Codes List.
- Click the Save button. The Discipline is now displayed as an option in the Discipline drop-down menu when you navigate to the Staff Form.
Note: If you need to add other types of System Codes, click the Edit button within the window and select the drop-down that you need to add a new option to. In the lower left-hand corner of the Billing Engine a Code Type = “ ” is displayed. This is the value you would enter into the Code Type field if you wanted to add an option to this particular drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can search for the Code Type in the Codes Type List: Maintenance and Setup > Code Types.
