Configuring your user settings
Once you've created your Anima account and logged in to Anima, the first thing you should do before accepting patient requests is set up your user settings. Anima lets you customise lots of things to help you manage your workflow, like your working hours and your maximum assignments.
Organisation super-admins have access to more organisation-wide settings: we show you how to set these up in this article.

On the Personal Details tab of your user settings, scroll down to Max Assignments and enter the maximum number of patient requests you want to be able to be assigned to you at once:
What does this mean? These are the hours that you are available to action patient requests through Anima.
