STEP 8:  My Control Center.

SCOUT^© Suspense Tracker allows users to customize some of the features of their version of SCOUT^©, which will be unique to that user. These functions are available in the Control Center.  Note:  Administrators can customize features of SCOUT^© that will be common to all users. If you are an Administrator, you will see a link at the bottom of the Control Center page where you can enter a password, and perform tasks unique to the Administrator.

To access the Control Center, click the navigation link on the left-hand menu named, Control Center (See Figure 50).

5. List of Task Types

You can create a personal task type name that will appear only in your version of SCOUT^© appended to the global list of task types. Other users cannot see your personal task type names; however, they will be seen in the SCOUT^© task list by anyone to whom you assign that task type. You can delete any of your personal task types at any time.

5.1 List of your personal “Originated by” Names

You can create a personal list of originators that will appear only in your version of SCOUT^© appended to the global list of task types.

5.2 List of Stand-Ins

You can designate someone to act as a stand-in for you. Senior officers can designate their executive officer or secretary as a stand-in, for example. Anyone you designate as a Stand-in can assume that role and act as you within SCOUT^©.

5.3 Create a DistroList/MailSet

A DistroList/MailSet is a list of email addresses saved as a unique name so you can choose groups of assignees during the suspense assignment process. For this test, we recommend you create a MailSet. You can use any name for the MailSet, such as “My group 1.”  You are free to use apostrophes or special characters in the name. When you create a name and click the CREATE THIS MAILSET button, you will see a page that allows you to choose people or organizational accounts to place into this MailSet. Choose at least two names. Do not include your own name in a MailSet, as this could confuse some SCOUT^© functions.

5.4 Contact the SCOUT^© Helpdesk.

This link will open an email addressed to the HPC-COM Help Desk. If you wish to have this link changed to a local/internal help desk, contact the HPC-COM Help Desk at 800-795-1902, and we will send you a replacement page with the link you designate.
