Understanding the new Operations settings experience

Understanding the new Operations settings experience

We’ve relocated and redesigned settings related to practice-wide operations with the intention of making key features more easily accessible, and grouping together related settings. When making these updates, our team kept our customers’ needs top of mind, to make sure the updates to your account settings are relevant, useful, and beneficial to running a successful practice. 

In this guide, we’ll cover the categories nested under Operations:

Note: For more information on the entire settings update, see Navigating the new settings experience.


Profile

The Profile section includes all relevant information for your profile, including your personal and security information, clinical information, and email notification preferences. Previously, these settings were available under either the Practice Management or Account settings section. We grouped these together and made them each standalone pages, to make it easier to find your clinical settings and set up your profile to best suit your practice’s needs. 

Profile and security

The Profile & Security page used to include two tabs: Personal and Clinical.

With the new settings experience, you’ll see this page at Settings > Profile > Profile and security, with the Clinical tab no longer nested under this page. For more information on accessing your clinical information settings, see Clinical info below. 

The Profile and security page still includes your SimplePractice profile, SimplePractice security, and Profile photo

Clinical info

Previously, Clinical information was a tab on the Profile & Security page.

Practice

The Practice section includes settings related to your practice details, locations, subscription plan information, and demo client. It also includes uploaded business files and the page to export your practice data. 

We’ve centralized these features in the new settings experience to make it easier to update details related to your practice, upload business documents, and export your data from one convenient location.

Practice details

Previously, your My Practice page included two tabs: Details and Locations

These tabs included your Practice information, Cancellation policy, Locations, and Billing addresses.

Under Settings > Practice > Practice details, you’ll now see your Practice information, Locations, and Billing addresses all on one page.

Team

For group practices, the Team members and Payroll settings were two separate tabs on one page. To make it easier to locate the Payroll settings, we’ve separated these into standalone pages nested under the Team dropdown.

Note: Practices on the Essential or Starter plan won’t see the Team pages. 

Team members

By default, the Team members page included two tabs: Team members and Payroll.
