Saving Treatment Plans

Before Treatment Plans signed via eClipboard can be saved, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 must be installed on the server.

Treatment Plans signed via eClipboard are automatically saved to the Imaging Module if the preference, Save signed Treatment Plans to PDF, is enabled, and the OpenDentImages folder is using network file storage, Dropbox, or SFTP (cannot be a local folder).

Updating Treatment Plans

Treatment Plans can be updated while still loaded to the eClipboard device. Simply make the edits to the saved Treatment Plan in Open Dental, then click eClipboard. Updates will be reflected in eClipboard.

To remove a Treatment Plan currently loaded to eClipboard, in the patient's Treatment Plan module, click the X next to the saved Treatment Plan in the Treatment Plans grid.
