Entering practice information

To prepare CaptureDent™ for use you must enter some general information about your practice — so click the tab labelled “Practice” to go to the page where you can enter, view, or change these settings.

You’ll begin filling in the “Practice” page by entering general information about your practice into the group of boxes in the upper right of the page. The illustration below shows these text boxes as you see them when running CaptureDent for the first time.

Using capitals and lowercase letters, type in your practice’s name, address, and other information as you would like them to appear on a printed letterhead.

To begin, click your mouse anywhere in the white “Name” box. The blinking vertical-bar typing cursor should appear in that box, indicating that you can type in your practice’s name.

When finished, press the “Tab” key on your keyboard to move to the next text box, then repeat. Shift-Tab moves backward through the text boxes, and you can click in any box you wish to type in. Text may be edited, copied, pasted, and so forth according to the usual Windows conventions.

Entering your practice information is typically a one-time chore — the only likely reasons you’d change these items would be to correct errors, or in case your practice moves, changes its name or phone number, et cetera.

However, should you ever, for whatever reason, need to update this information, simply return to the “Practice” page and make the required changes. Any alterations to your general practice information will take effect once you have closed and re-started CaptureDent.
