How to Delete a User's Account and Speech Profile

A spreadsheet entitled Abandoned Accounts to Delete represents abandoned (no login or not logged in for more than 180 days) accounts in Nuance Management Console (NMC) that is sorted by Region, VISN, and login. This information will be provided to all DMNE Admins monthly for action.

We recommend that the accounts be deleted, including deleting the profile unless there is a reason to retain the account profile (example: returning resident).

Instructions for deleting accounts in the NMC:

  1. Login to the Nuance Management Console (NMC).


  2. Click on the User Accounts tab along the top toolbar.


  3. Click on the Search button under the User Accounts section of the User Accounts tab.


  4. Still under the main User Accounts tab, enter the user's login ID in the Login ID of the Search window and click the magnifying glass to execute the search.


  5. Still under the main User Accounts tab, click and highlight the user account in the Search results window. Click the Delete button in the User Accounts toolbar.


  6. When prompted to delete the user account, click Yes.


  7. When prompted to delete the user speech profile, click Yes.

Note IMPORTANT: Following the above steps will ensure that not only the user account is deleted (keeping the database clean), but also that the user's speech profile is deleted (keeping the user profile fileserver/NAS clean)

"Top 10" iSupport Tickets Submitted

The following resolution code data from Dragon Medical service requests provide a view into the "Top 10" issues reported by the Veterans Affairs.

 

Note IMPORTANT: While there are many potential causes of profile corruption, the most common cause is when the user's workstation is ungracefully shut down before Dragon Medical can complete the save/synchronization action and close the profile.

CPRS V30C – Jumping Cursor  

The jumping cursor problem was initially identified after CPRS V30B was installed. This is a compatibility issue with the Dragon software. The issue was solved by running the advertised program below:

Start > Control Panel > Programs > Run Advertised Programs (32-bit) > "Dragon INI Fix for CPRS30b - "

However, when CPRS 30C was installed, the jumping cursor occurred again. Here is the fix:

  1. Run the CPRS V30C (1.30.75) Update only.
  2. Restart the PC.

If needed, have local OIT reinstall the DMNE .ini modification (below) that resolves the jumping cursor issue in CPRS. By default, the executable is named CPRSChart.exe.

    [CPRSChart]

    App Support GUID={dd100104-6205-11cf-ae61-0000e8a28647}

    [CPRSChart\Enable Class Names]

    TRichEdit=4

However, if the executable has been renamed to say CPRS.exe, then this modification would need to be updated to:

    [CPRS]

    App Support GUID={dd100104-6205-11cf-ae61-0000e8a28647}

    [CPRS\Enable Class Names]

    TRichEdit=4

Note NOTE: Verify that the executable name matches what is set in the .ini file. If not, the .ini value must be changed to match the executable name.

 

General information about the purpose for this workaround can be obtained from:
