Settings: Approval and notification settings

Realm-wide configuration for off-schedule + retrospective approval modes and notification recipients.

eMAR → More → Settings → Approvals & Safety. The realm-wide settings that govern when an administration needs manager sign-off and who gets emailed.

Approval modes

Pick one of three modes for each of off-schedule and retrospective administrations:

  • none — no approval. Administrations proceed normally.

  • non_blocking (default for retrospective) — administrations proceed immediately, approval requested in parallel.

  • blocking — administrations held in the approval queue until approved.

Recipient lists

  • Approval manager emails — comma-separated list of people who get the approval request emails. Shared between off-schedule and retrospective.

  • Off-schedule notification emails — recipients of off-schedule notifications even when not requesting approval.

  • Per-medication notify emails — overrides on individual medications.

Other safety controls on this tab

  • Allow retrospective recording — master switch. Off = no retrospective entries permitted.

  • Auto-archive expired medications after X days — drives the automatic archive cron.

  • Require double-verification — toggle for the second-staff witness on positive outcomes.
