Set Up Sharing Function

Before you attempt to share a lab results with a patient, you must first set up the function sharing for your clinic, from the Settings page.

Note: To set up document sharing, you must have a role assigned to you that gives you editing permissions for General settings. For more information on roles, see here.

1. Go to the General settings tab.

2. Scroll down to the Allow secure sharing section, then click the toggle.

3. Select the level of security that you want for sharing documents with contacts:

  • Magic link only, no 2FA: Share documents by sending a contact a link to the Semble sharing portal

  • SMS 2FA for contacts with a mobile phone, magic link for those without: Contacts with a phone number linked to their record will have to use two factor authentication (2FA) to access shared documents. You can still share documents to contacts without a phone number, by sending them a link to the Semble sharing portal

  • SMS 2FA only, disable sharing for contacts without a mobile phone: You can only share documents with contacts who have a phone number linked to their record, and they must use 2FA

Note: Selecting an option that uses SMS 2FA will cost your clinic for every text message sent.

4. Select the level of security that you want for sharing documents with patients:

  • Date of birth 2FA for all patients: Any patient can access their shared documents by entering their date of birth into the Semble sharing portal

  • SMS 2FA for patients with a mobile phone, DOB for those without: Patients who have a mobile number linked to their record must use two factor authentication (2FA) to access their shared documents. Patients without a phone number can still access their shared documents with just their date of birth

  • SMS 2FA only, disable sharing for patients without a mobile phone: Only patients who have a mobile number linked to their record can access shared documents, and they must use 2FA

Note: Selecting an option that uses SMS 2FA will cost your clinic for every text message sent.
