Turning features on and off
Use this reference to find which setting controls each optional feature, which menu items it shows, and why a feature may not appear for a team member.
Feature settings live under Settings. Some features can also be selected when you open a new practice, based on the practice type you choose. After the practice is created, owners and admins use Settings to configure them.
Which feature controls each menu item or patient chart section?
The settings overview shows the feature controls that owners and admins use. Use Settings (1) to open it, and Care Plans (2), Inventory (3), Labs (4), and Supplements (5) are the settings areas that control those features.
In the patient chart, use Care Plans (1), Faxes (2), Lab Reports (3), Lab Orders (4), and Supplements (5) for the feature-controlled sections this table describes. Care Plans (1) is the care-plan section, Faxes (2) is the fax section, Lab Reports (3) and Lab Orders (4) are the lab sections, and Supplements (5) is the supplements section.

Which role restrictions can hide a feature?
A feature can still be hidden from a team member when their role does not include that part of the dashboard. In the admin menu, Claims (1), Invoices (2), Reports (3), and Timesheets (4) are the role-gated items this section covers. Claims (1) is the billing claims item, Invoices (2) is the billing invoices item, Reports (3) is the reports item, and Timesheets (4) is the team timesheets item.
| Area | Who can see it | If someone cannot see it |
|---|---|---|
| Organization settings sections | Owners and admins | They need the Owner or Admin role to manage organization settings. Other members may still see personal settings under Settings → Account. |
| Operational menu items | Owners, admins and staff | Clinicians do not get the full operational dashboard. Feature-gated operational items still need their feature turned on. |
| Timesheets in the main sidebar | Owners and admins | Staff and clinicians do not see the team Timesheets menu item. |
| Calendar or Calendars | Clinicians see Calendar. Owners, admins and staff see Calendars. | This is based on role, not a feature toggle. |
| Patient Claims | Owners, admins and staff | Clinicians do not see patient claims even when insurance billing is on. |
| Patient Faxes | Owners, admins and staff | Clinicians do not see the patient fax section. |
| Patient Log | Admins | Owners and admins can open patient record activity from the Log button in the patient sidebar. |
| Patient DoseSpot | Users with prescribing enabled | The clinic DoseSpot setup alone does not make the section appear for every user. |
For a full role comparison, see Roles, licences, and permissions.
Which settings depend on another service or integration?
Some settings items appear only when another service or integration setting is available.
Use Settings (1) to open the settings overview.
| Settings item | When it appears | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Junction under Diagnostics | When Labs or Supplements are enabled | If Junction is missing, check Settings → Diagnostics → Labs or Settings → Dispensary → Supplements first. |
| Fullscript under Dispensary | When Labs or Supplements are enabled | If Fullscript is missing, check Settings → Diagnostics → Labs or Settings → Dispensary → Supplements first. |
| Clearinghouse, Billing Rules and Fee Schedule under Insurance | When insurance detail settings are shown | If these are missing, start with Settings → Insurance. |
Which navigation items are not controlled by these feature toggles?
If someone cannot see one of them, check their role or whether they are in the right place. The patient chart navigation shows Summary (1), Visits (2), and Notebook (3) as standard sections, not feature-controlled ones. Summary (1), Visits (2), and Notebook (3) are the standard chart sections that stay visible.
