Configuring CliniPad Availability To Computers

1. Plan the assignment of Clinipads to computers in different areas of your practice. You want only the appropriate computers to be able to see each device.

   For example, a group of reception computers might all share five Clinipads, but each clinic may have its own dedicated Clinipad.

2. On a Clinipad Configuration screen, select the computer symbol:

   Open

   

    

   A Linked Computers list displays all networked computers.

3. Link the Clinipad to computers by checking (ticking) the computer checkboxes:

   Open

   

    

4. Click OK.

   The Clinipad will then be available to those checked computers.

5. Repeat for all Clinipads.

The Clinipad screen displays the name of the patient who is currently using the device. Select the name to go directly to that patient file.

Select the disconnect button to immediately release the device and discard any session data.
