The "Auto-Confirm Portal Reminder Response" group rule, when enabled, automatically changes the event status to "Confirmed" if the client response in an email or text message reminder is an affirmative confirmation. The updated status will be displayed throughout ICANotes where the event is seen (Portal Reminder Service report, Calendar, etc) with an updated summary and tooltip for the event.
Security Administrators have access to enable this rule in the Security Center:
1) From the Chart Room, click on Settings & Directories
For clients using the New Chart Room, click on Settings
2) Click on the Security Center button and enter your ICANotes password
3) Navigate to the Group Rules at the top right of the Security Center
4) Under the Defaults tab, check the box next to Auto-Confirm Portal Reminder Response to enable the rule. Click the Log Off button to log off of ICANotes. When you next login the rule will take effect.
If this message appears when you enable the rule - click OK to move forward
