What's New in Version 16.2.3

SoftDent Scheduler, version 16.2.3, includes enhancements in the following areas:

Third-Party Imaging Software Integration

A new imaging integration enables users to access additional third-party imaging software, as well as Florida Probe, from the patient chart.

You can now access the following imaging software from the patient chart:

• Bold text indicates the new imaging software you can select.

• Dentsply/New Image - Xamine-It

• Dentsply/Gendex - VixWin

• Digora

• Schick

• Trophy - ui

• Dexis

• Cygnus Imaging

• PlanMeca Dimaxis

• CliniView

• Dolphin

• TigerView

• PW Dicom

• Patient Gallery

• ImageFXSycan

• Medicor MiCAPS

• Florida Probe

If your office has previously been accessing Dentsply/New Image - Xamine-It, Trophy - ui, Cygnus Imaging, PlanMeca Dimaxis, or CliniView from the patient chart, your settings are retained, and you do not need to take any action.

If your office uses imaging software other than those listed in the paragraph above, or if you have never used SoftDent or imaging before, you must configure each machine that will be running imaging software.

To configure your third-party imaging software:

1. Select Patient Chart > Chart > Options > X-ray. The Chart Properties X-ray tab is displayed.

2. Select the imaging software name from the drop-down list and select an option:

If the X-ray EXE Path: field is enabled:

• Click Browse, navigate to the imaging software .exe file, and select it.

• Click OK.

• Click OK.

OR

 

If the X-ray EXE Path: field is greyed out:

• Click OK.

• The first time you launch the imaging software (by selecting X-ray > Start 'software name'), a message asking you to configure the imaging software is displayed. Click OK. The Imaging Launcher Preferences window is displayed.

• Click the ... (Browse) button, navigate to the imaging software .exe file, and select it.

• Click Open.

• Click Save and Launch.

In addition, imaging options for Dolphin, Patient Gallery, ImageFXSycan, Medicor MiCAPS, and Florida Probe have been added to the list of imaging software on the Other tab (Patient Chart > Chart > Options > Other).

 

See Setting Charting Options and Properties for more information.
