Yes! Dentally Vision supports an offline mode of operation. You can use the offline mode to acquire images when you cannot access Dentally Vision online!
Offline mode allows you to acquire new images for diagnosis, and you can synchronize those images with your online database once you are back online.
Offline mode uses a local embedded database (for temporary storage of patient information, metadata, images etc), and an embedded web server (embedded in the acquisition agent) to provide offline mode functionality.
Acquiring images in offline mode
The workflow for acquiring images offline is nearly identical to the online (normal) mode, but note the following differences:
You start offline mode from the acquisition agent.
You enter a patient's information before acquiring images.
The billing and provider options are not available, but you select them during the synchronization process.
First, you must close all your Chrome browser windows. THIS IS IMPORTANT
You will then need to set your acquisition agent to Offline mode, by either clicking on a mac or right-clicking on windows, on the Acquisition agent and choosing 'Start Offline Mode'
A new Chrome browser window opens with Dentally Vision running in offline mode.
Enter the First name, Last name, and Birth date of the patient you want to acquire images for.
Select whether the patient has Adult dentition or Pediatric dentition.
Click ‘Acquire Images’.
The Acquire Images tab is selected by default, and the options for acquiring images, using the standard imaging procedures, are available.
Note: The billing and provider options are not available while you are using the offline mode, but you select them during the synchronization process (after you return to using Dentally Vision online).
Acquire images as you would when using Dentally Vision online.
When you are finished acquiring the patient's images, close the Chrome browser window with Dentally Vision running offline to end the offline acquisition session for the patient or click the Select Patient tab to acquire or view images for another patient.
