Remove Multiple Encounters from the Collection List
This feature is for Employers only.
The ability to remove multiple Encounters en masse from the Collections List is can be a time saver for Employers.
- Remember that if Encounters have been sent to the Collection Agency, they cannot be removed.
- If the Encounters have already been sent to the Collection Agency, the Remove from Collections only removes it from this list.
- It is best practice not to remove Encounters from the In Collections list after sending to the Collection Agency.
