Why is the Sign Encounter button not available for use?

The Sign Encounter button, located on the Coding screen, and the Sign Encounter icon, located within the heading of an encounter, are available to the provider selected for the encounter. There are multiple reasons the Sign Encounter icon and button are not available: 

• The encounter has already been signed. 
• The employee has not been designated as a provider within their employee profile. 
  1. Access Admin > Employee/Roles > Employees > open an employee > Provider Details.
  2. Click the checkbox for "Employee is also a provider." 
  3. Click 'Save.'
  4. Log out and log in to see the changes associated to the setting. 
• When the appointment was created within the Schedule module, the Provider field was either left empty or the wrong provider was selected. 
  1. In the opened encounter, select the hyperlink for "No Provider."
  2. In the Select Provider modal, complete the Provider field.
  3. Click 'Save.'
