RCSA Agency Users - Frequently Asked Questions

Disclaimer: to all current EntireHR Clients – a number of the standard EntireHR workflows have been altered to accommodate these unprecedented circumstances. Please adhere to the workflows as outlined to avoid double-handling and/or errors.


Q: How do I get agency logins?
A: RCSA will provide you with a User ID and Password. 

If you need an additional login or have forgotten your password, please contact RCSA or support@entiresoftware.com

**Please note RCSA retain the right to login as agency user if required**

Q: What if I have forgotten my password? 
A: Please contact RCSA or support@entiresoftware.com who can provide this

Q: Which browser works best for accessing EntireHR's staff portal?
A: Google Chrome is recommended and considered the most compatible.

Q: Can I access the portal on my mobile device?
A: The staff portal can be accessed via a Laptop or Ipad - however, mobile phone screens are too small to accommodate the portal.

Q: I keep getting an error message saying "This Shift is recently updated. Please refresh the screen to see the updated shift." How do I fix this?

A: When actions are carried out in the system the data is updated instantaneously however, the allocations screen doesn't automatically refresh.

To ensure your allocation screen is showing that latest data we recommend selecting the refresh Icon found in the Toolbar menu.



Q: What does the number next to my agency name mean?
A: The Agency/Member names are placeholders usually for real people - and the system doesn't let you double book! So since you can't put one person into 100 bookings for the same date and time at once, we have added 100 people per agency to allow this. 

So if you get an alert stopping you from booking someone, try again and be sure you don't select the same number and you should be fine!

Q: Why can't I lock a shift by selecting the tickbox?
A: If a shift cannot be selected and a   is displayed next to the tick box. This indicates another user (either agency or RCSA) is actively working on this shift.
