Settings for First Time Use of the Orders Management Console

To use the Orders Management Console, you start by selecting your desktop button, or select Orders Management Console from the NextGen application launcher. You are asked for a user log on. You should also choose your Enterprise and Practice.

When you use the Orders Management Console the configuration options need to be set up (select Settings on the bottom left on the screen). When you use the Orders Management Console for the first time, if the required settings are incomplete, a warning is displayed.

When you select OK, you are automatically presented with the configuration Orders Management Console window where you enter the Settings to run the Compendium Management program.

The minimum required settings are:

• Web Server URL
• Download Directory path

The default URL displayed is the Server URL.

You need to define the Download Directory and it must be a shared folder with full read/write definitions located anywhere on your Network. This cannot be a local directory. If it is, the import of the compendium fails.

You see any lab systems that have been made available by NextGen in the Available Lab Systems list box.

If this is not your first time running the Orders Management Console, when you start it from the application launcher, you must select a compedium and continue.

After your Web Server URL and Download Directory are defined and saved, the Lab Systems section is made available to be completed.

When you select Save, you get a message that the configuration options have been saved.

After your settings have been completed and saved, the next time you log on you go directly to the home page.

After the Configuration Options are set up, you don’t have to modify them unless you have added a new supported lab (such as Labcorp) and it needs to be imported into your system. When you add a new lab, you need to select Setup on the bottom left of the home page. This displays the configuration options setup screen.
