Overview
The provider tab (screen) is the tab that is visible when Guardian opens. Using the providers
screen, you can add, delete, and edit provider information. The Providers tab has three main
sections which are detailed below:
Guardian Provider Tab
Provider List Lists all providers currently in the Guardian system. This list may be filtered using
the Filter Bar
on the far left of the screen or Filter As You Type
to help narrow down the list to of
providers making locating their information much easier.
The Provider List allows you to flag any list item with custom formatting. This provides an easy to
use mechanism for marking individual providers or groups of providers with meaningful
formatting. For example, you may wish to highlight all providers who have temporary privileges
with a yellow background, and all providers with pending requirements in italics.
Formatting applied in the Providers List is not published and does not change the way
Guardian handles the provider in any way, it is simply a way to provide visual information that is
useful in managing provider and privileges. This allows you to use formatting in any way that
helps provide at-a-glance information without affecting the published privileges.
To apply formatting to an individual provider in the Providers List, follow these steps:
1. Select the provider you wish to format by clicking on it with the left mouse button:
Provider Selected
2. Right-click on the selected name to show the Formatting menu.
3. Select the type of formatting that you wish to apply.
4. If the formatting selected is a color (text or background), the Select Color dialog will appear.
5. Select the color to apply and click the OK button.
6. If formatting desired is non-color formatting (bold, italics), simply select the formatting to
apply.
Multiple formats may be applied to the same provider in the Providers list. Any combination of
Text Color, Background Color, Bold, and Italics can be used together. The only exception to this
is that you cannot set the foreground and background colors the same since this would make the
name invisible.
NOTE: Once providers have their text color set, you can filter the Providers List to show only
providers with a certain color text. For more information on this, see the topic Filter List.
