Quick Launch
Add a Third-party Application Shortcut to the Action Pane
Open the Settings dialog.
Click Quick launch.
Click Add.
Select the executable file and click Open.
If needed, change the Application name.
Optionally, select Launch with patient data to launch the third-party application with patient data. This only works if the third-party application supports command-line parameters.
Specify which information or data is exported by adding export parameters to the Export parameters field.
Click Browse to choose a location for the exported data. Click Select folder.
If the image or surface data parameter is included, the Export data dialog is shown when launching the third-party application. 3D X-rays are exported as multiframe DICOMs.
Select Show verbose to also open a command-line tool displaying which parameters will be sent to the application.
Select Sync patient before launching to locally sync the patient record before launching the third-party application. This ensures that third-party applications which send information back, work properly.
Click OK.
Note
Up to five third-party applications can be added to the quick launch.
