Add & Edit a Staff Member (TheraNest)

  Permissions: You must have Administrator Permissions or higher. You also need Administrator Permissions to turn on the AMA CPT License for a staff member. 

You can add a new Staff Member two ways, either through an email invitation, or by manually entering them into TheraNest. 

IMPORTANT: If a Staff Member is added manually, you will not be able to invite them by email and vice versa. This is to prevent duplicate accounts. 
You must also enter a unique email address for any new staff member added to the system.

Import Staff into TheraNest

You can import Staff into TheraNest using an Excel spreadsheet. Download the Sample Import Template (from Import page) to help guide you as you structure your Staff Data. The first line of the Template indicates how to structure your Staff Data in the Excel spreadsheet. The column headings on the spreadsheet must match the order and names on the Import Staff page or data will not be imported. Learn More.
