• Clients who have a Linux server and have the automation running on a workstation
• VOSINC clients who were switched to have their automation on a workstation.
Please contact PCS Support for additional information.
Microsoft Extended Support Ended January 14, 2020
Microsoft announced the end of life (EOL) of all Windows 7, Windows 2008/R2, and Exchange Server 2010 on January 14, 2020. This means Microsoft no longer supports and sends critical security updates, leaving computer systems vulnerable to attack and exploitation. All workstations running Windows 7 must be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro and all servers running Windows 2008/R2 must be upgraded to Windows 2012, 2016, or preferably 2019 in order to stay HIPAA compliant. For further information or to schedule your server upgrade, please contact the Hardware Department.
The software version you are currently on is shown in the top left border of your screen once you have logged-in to Intellect:
When new software is released, a release note is published on our website, and the current software version is displayed on the Release Note website opening page:

Note: The use of the wild card character (*) helps when only part of a name is known. Intellect always searches first by name or description.
If you would like to see all the names and corresponding codes in the system, click on the Name or Code field and press [F2]. Use the up/down arrow keys to find the correct name/code.
5. To select the name from the list, either highlight the record and press the [Enter] key, OR double-click on the record.
Select [Add], [Modify], [Delete], or [View] to go to the screen of the selected record in that option. For example, if you are on the Searching screen for zip codes and had highlighted the zip code 92123, press [Modify] to open the Modify CITY_STATE screen for zip code 92123, allowing you to see the information in the system for 92123 and make modifications as needed.

When a patient is registered, a cycle is automatically created (it can be seen in the <Cycle> field on the Ledger screens). Effective in version 19.01.25 when a log-in takes place, patients with a blank Registration <DOB> field are updated to the current cycle date via Intellect.
Effective version 19.05.01, a Date of Birth (DOB) column was added to the Patient Search window. This window pops up if a last name is typed into the <Account> field. This applies to any screen where the <Account #> field is present and a search is made by patient name. In the example below, the patient's last name was typed into the <Account> field on the Ledger --►Accounting screen:
