Enabling the Configuration Switcher

Activate this feature on any PC where users need to access multiple EMIS Web organisations. It’s straightforward to turn on:

  • On the PC, go to Start > All Programs > EMIS > Configuration Switcher.
  • Select Enable Switching. An icon then appears on your desktop.
  • Repeat these steps on each PC that needs multi-organisation access.

Switching between organisations

  • Once enabled, open the Configuration Switcher icon on your desktop, then choose Change organisation.
  • Enter the Organisation ID of the site you want to access.
  • If updates are needed, they’ll install automatically before EMIS Web restarts.
  • Sign in to the newly selected organisation.
"Being able to swap from one organisation’s EMIS Web to another in seconds is a huge time-saver for staff who travel between practices."

Disabling the Configuration Switcher

If it’s no longer needed, follow the same steps but select Disable Switching on the Configuration Switcher screen.
