Dental Referrals Link Button Installation Notes V1.1, Revised 18/03/21

Requires EXACT Version 12.7 or above 
The Dental Referrals link button utilises EXACT's generic link button capability to launch a script that in turn launches your default web browser to display the Dental Referral portal. The user is then presented with a choice of referral forms, which once selected will be prepopulated with basic patient information.

Installation PART 1: Creating the DR EXACT Product Licence

1. Log in to EXACT on any machine with Admin privileges or as a user that has access to. Configure > Practice Settings > Product Licences
2. Select “+1” to add a new Licence. Under Product Name enter “Dental Referrals”
3. Under the key enter the following licence key (same for all customers)

4. Please leave the access code blank ( it is not required for this Link Button ) .
5. Enter the directory path  C:\DReferrals
6. Then click "copy to all computers", click "ok"

Please note this screen does not auto update so please log out of EXACT while performing step 2 (or wait a few mins for it to register the new licence) before logging back in to test.

Once the licence is enabled exit, relaunch and log into EXACT. Open up a patient file and you should see the Dental Referrals Icon. Please note the icon only appears if a patient is selected.

When you select this icon the Windows default web browser will be launched,  pointed at the Dental Referrals web portal front screen which then prompts the user to select a type of referral form.

Once the referral form is selected, the form will be displayed with the supported patient fields prepopulated.

Please Note: Patients that have a space (double-barreled first or surname) in their name may not work and may require a hyphen "-" to join the names before clicking the Dental Referrals button.
This name can be corrected in EXACT & DR after the button has been clicked.
