The Users group on the Admin page is where you set up the building blocks that describe your staff — teams, roles, skills and profile fields.
Teams: define optional teams and assign people to them for a period. Teams can span multiple roles or areas, and have a hierarchy — e.g. the Neurology team as a subset of Medical Subspecialty, which is a subset of Medicine. Once the structure is defined here, you assign an individual to a team in their profile, optionally for a specific period.
Roles: the foundation user grouping in HosPortal. Create, rename or archive roles, and assign colours and icons to help identify people in a role on the roster.
Role tags: group and filter roles, particularly useful if you have many.
Skills: people in particular roles (e.g. Consultants) can be given an optional skill or qualification (e.g. Paediatrics). Skills can have start and end dates, for instance where they need re-qualifying each year. Skills are defined here; applying one to an individual is done in their profile.
Profile information settings: create and edit data fields attached to each user's profile, such as qualifications. These can be made available to specific roles, and made visible only to administrators if preferred.
