Cloud storage allows you to access your ArchForm patients from any device. Uploading a patient from the treatment planning software saves the patient to the Dashboard and enables you to continue treatment planning from any other computer with the treatment planning software.
A patient created in the treatment planning software gets saved locally automatically. Patients only saved locally have an Unversioned or Modified ****tag in the Version button.
Unversioned or version modified patient saved only locally
If you make any changes to a patient after saving it to the cloud, the word Modified appears in the Versions button, indicating that changes are present only locally, and the patient should be uploaded again to update the cloud version.
Patients can be uploaded to the cloud via a desktop app or directly from the dashboard.
Uploading from the desktop app
To upload the patient to the cloud from the desktop app, you can click Upload in the Versions list or patient list. A progress window appears showing the order the setup will be uploaded into, which can be changed. Leave a comment if needed. Once done, you can close that window by clicking OK.
Uploading from the dashboard
To upload the patient to the cloud from the dashboard, you can click Upload Setup from the dropdown menu of an alignment order to upload the case file.
If you wish to download a specific version of the patient saved to the cloud, click Open behind a setup version in the Versions list. You can either click Download in the patient list. From the pop-up window, use the dropdown menu to select which revision to download. Once selected, click the Download button in the window.
Downloading patients on different devices
Patients saved to the cloud are accessible in the treatment planning software on other computers through two methods.
From the Dashboard, you can click Open in Desktop App from the Review Setup in Patients list to download and open the latest revision saved. Or go into the patient detail page and click Open in Desktop App in the setup version record to download and open the setup version in Desktop App.
