Using the OrthoTrac Communications Module

Exporting Communications Questionnaires

Using OrthoTrac, you can export a single questionnaire from one database to another, enabling you to share questionnaires with other orthodontic practices without re-typing the questionnaire questions, answers, and letter text.

• The export feature is built into the communications module. The import feature is a Support-only utility; if you have received a questionnaire from another office, contact your support representative to import the questionnaire for you.

To export a questionnaire:

1. Click the Word Processing button from the main menu. The Word Processing menu is displayed. Select Communications Setup.

OR

Select Functions > Word Processing > Communications Setup from the menu bar.

The Select Questionnaire window is displayed.

2. Select the questionnaire you want to export and click Change. The Setup Questionnaire window is displayed.

3. Click Export. The Export Questionnaire window is displayed.

The target drive defaults to a: if a floppy is present in the disk drive. Click OK to export the selected questionnaire to the floppy. The questionnaire is saved as COMEXP.MDB.

• If there is already a COMEXP.MDB file on the floppy, you are prompted to append or replace the new questionnaire in COMEXP.MDB.

OR

If you want to export the questionnaire to another location, change your drive destination. Click OK.

4. When the questionnaire is exported, the software closes the Export Questionnaire window. Click OK or Cancel to exit the Setup Questionnaire window.
