     *Any available names in the Phys. Loc. Verified By, Field Verified, and Approved By fields come from the On Call database if your system is configured with the On Call database. Any name can be entered into these fields regardless of what names appear in the dropdown menu. For further information, refer to On Call.

     Note: The names are stored independent of the On Call database. If, for example, an employee leaves the company, an Administrator will likely remove his name from the On Call database. The former employee's name, however, remains attached to the results submitted to the CRM database.
