Technical Details

This bridge uses an API so there is no local path to set and no executable to launch. The bridge is launched using the workstation's default web browser. SOTA Cloud is only compatible with Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, etc.)

SOTA can only accept one email address for a patient. If a patient has more than one email address entered into the Edit Patient Information window, then only the first valid email address is used.

If utilizing the SOTA Hub, use the ClioSoft/SOTA Imaging Bridge instead.
