## Institution Desktop

The Institution Desktop is available only to administrators who have institution-wide privileges. Typically, these are the administrators who are responsible for the information technology systems within your health care facility. These administrators have a PAT Access Level setting of Level 1 in order to have full access across all departments and all users. Administrators have complete rights over themselves, as well as all other users in the system.

The Institution Desktop consists of a toolbar and workspace.

Once you log in as an administrator, make sure that your Status is Complete , so that you can access all other areas of functionality. To do this:

1. Log into the system.
2. Click on the prefs tab to view the General Settings screen.
3. Verify that the Complete/Incomplete Status setting is Complete . If it is, then you are all set to configure the system.

If the Complete/Incomplete Status setting is Incomplete , then you must save your user settings. Click Save at the bottom of the screen to save the changes. This updates the Complete/Incomplete Status setting to Complete , and you are ready to configure the system.
