Automatically create tasks reminding users to add a valid state license: Every Monday, tasks will be created for veterinarians who don't have a valid state license in the profile reminding them to add one.
Required consent forms are mandatory before items can be added to an encounter: If there is a consent form marked as required for an appointment type, Vetspire will prevent users from entering items into an encounter until it is signed.
Require product lot numbers are selected before adding to encounters: If a given product type is marked as having lot numbers, lot numbers must be selected before allowing users to add the product to a patient

Require Complex Passwords (NOT RECOMMENDED): Enforce the requirement for passwords to have at least 1 letter, number, symbol, and uppercase letter and be a minimum of 8 characters. This goes strongly against US Government best practice advice for password security and is actually proven to make passwords LESS secure. Turning on this setting is STRONGLY advised against and is NOT best practice and is NOT RECOMMENDED by US NIST.
