Version 6 - System Wide Changes
It’s extremely likely that the default settings of BlueNote Communicator aren’t all appropriate for your practice, and that you’ll want to change many of them as soon as you’ve figured out how the software works and what it can do for you.
Do you need Lights to call doctors to treatment rooms? Maybe a few Lights to announce patient arrivals? What about specific tasks? Do those need lights as well? Think about all the needs you have for staff members who move around your office frequently, and then you can begin designing your customized light panel.
The text of each light, as well as its individual tone, and even the timers and quick messages can be changed to suit your style and needs, but these changes need to affect every computer in the practice to promote uniformity and prevent confusion. In other words, all Lights are in the exact same formation and play the same tones, and change color at the same times, regardless of their location in the practice.
Because System Wide Changes are permanent and affect all computers, they have been placed within the Options menu in a manner that keeps them from being accidentally altered.

Add or edit the Light text, select a tone and choose a color tag for the light. By adding a colon: to the end of the Light text, that Light will no longer immediately post; instead it will bring up the Light’s action window so that additional information may be added. You can use the copy button to save time selecting tones and colors on the next light. If you no longer want this Light, then click Delete.
