Sidebar Menu: Home (To-do List)
The Home page acts as your task dashboard — a centralized list of actions, documents, and assignments requiring your attention. It is role-based and dynamic, updating based on user activity and document status.
🔹 To-Do List Filters and Components
1. Category Dropdown
Used to organize tasks by status:
-
All Categories
-
Create – Tasks needing document creation.
-
Complete – Tasks needing document finalization.
-
Sign-In Complete
-
Manual To-Do – Manually assigned tasks not linked to documents.
2. Assign To Dropdown
-
Lists all providers assigned to your location.
-
Filter tasks by individual providers assigned to the selected location.
3. Filter: Patient + Date Range
-
Narrow tasks by specific patients or appointment dates.
🔹Notifications
Account wide reminders are displayed on the rightmost side. The screenshot below shows an alert for a new appointment in another location despite the Location Selector having a different Location
🔹 Document Workflow (Create → Complete)
✅ Step-by-Step: Completing a To-do
-
Filter to “Create” Category + Provider Name
-
Select a task, eg. "Create Patient Communication Log (appt. 06/26/2025 04:00 PM)"
-
Click the document hyperlink to open it
-
Fill out, select a document status (Draft, Pending, Complete) and Save
-
Once saved, it prompts confirmation
-
Document will have a REF# displayed.
-
- The task will be removed from the Category: Create queue.
🛑 Important:
-
To-Do List shows only overdue or current-date tasks
-
Future-dated documents are hidden until due
- When a document is in Create category, it means that the actual document is not generated yet. Marking the Complete button will only remove the task but will not generate REF# for the document. This might lead to improper documentation as Create Tasks are automatically generated from incomplete documents from the Appointment Sidebar menu
- If a created document for a patient under the user's caseload did not go to the user's To-do List, you can go to the Sidebar Menu: Documents and manually edit/complete the document.
- Completed tasks cannot be restored to the To-Do List. Opus Support cannot restore completed To-do List task as well.
- If a cancelled appointment had a started but unlinked document, it may leave a lingering task in the To-Do List (under Complete); go to
Sidebar Menu > Documents
, search by REF#, and delete any duplicate or unneeded documents to clear it without affecting valid notes.
