Common Issues

  1. Audit logs are not being recorded – Verify that the Log All PHI Access toggle is turned on and that the retention period is set correctly.
  2. Encryption at Rest shows as disabled – Ensure the toggle is switched on and that you clicked Save after changing the setting.
  3. Users cannot access PHI data – Check the role permissions under Access Controls; the user’s role must have at least Read permission.
  4. HTTPS setting reverts to HTTP after a session – Confirm that your browser is not caching an older version; clear the cache and reload the page.
  5. Export Settings fails to download – Make sure you have write permission to the target folder; try a different browser or contact support if the issue persists.
