The Provider Specialty Mini Directory is a means of further categorizing a Provider. While each Provider entry must be assigned a Provider Role, the Specialty field is optional. As with Provider Roles, you can assign multiple Provider Specialties to a Provider. To determine appropriate specialties, consider that if the headings in a business directory represent provider roles, then the subheadings would be the specialties. For example, under Doctor, you might have specialties such as Cardiology, Anesthesiology, and Dermatology.
NOTE: You must have Enabled, Add, Modify, and/or Delete permissions to Directories > Mini Directories as needed.
