Saskia, Since you are creating and sending your statements in a separate program, the current and correct method of recording that in Open Dental is to make a Commlog stating that it was sent. You are free to include any identifying information needed to link the commlog to a specific statement in y...

Scott.filler, I recommend looking through the following page to find a local IT vendor that will work for you. https://www.opendental.com/site/vendorscomputer.html The page is broken down by state and California is further specified by area. I hope this helps find an IT vendor that will help with yo...

You could use AutoNotes in Group Notes to get close to what you are looking for:
https://www.opendental.com/manual241/autonotes.html

You are correct though that higher levels of formatting and buttons would be a Feature Request in Open Dental.

Do Group Notes not fulfill the functionality that you are looking for?

Mikey, Webforms can be edited via the sheets system, but to get access to some of the features you are looking for (Adding a logo, enlarging fonts, etc...) you will need to disable the mobile version of sheets that you plan on uploading to our webforms server. This will ensure the patient is routed ...

On Site refers to our hosting location. Not the local office.

Very soon. The engineering team and the testing department are running through final checks for both the 23.3 stable version and the 24.1 beta version.

In 23.3, you are no longer required to make a prepayment to payment plans via the API, so this won't happen if you choose to not make prepayments for that version and higher moving forward. If you choose to not make prepayments, the unearned type will not be set and this will no longer occur. The de...

Are you entering the payment via the API? If so, it is likely that the culprit is the preference found here: PayPlanPref.png The definition set in that preference is most likely set as Do Not Show On Account. The office will need to set up a definition without that flag set and change that preferenc...

Query favorites are just SQL queries that have been saved for later.
https://www.opendental.com/manual233/qu ... rites.html

The InsTemplate table does not exist in the Open Dental schema, so the most likely source of that User Query Favorite is a 3rd party.

I still don't have a full grasp of the scope of this request. There is an unknown number of tables that you are requesting to poll like this and it is unlikely that any of them have an index on a datetime column which Open Dental rarely, if ever, queries on. It would be easier to assist you if I kne...

I share your concerns about churn on the database, but the scope of this request increased by an indeterminate amount, since I am unsure how how many indexes we would need to add to an unknown amount of tables. I am assuming, based on your concern, that your frequency for this polling interval is ve...

Typically we do not entertain index requests, mostly due to the side effects you mentioned. When we do tend to add indexes, it is because a system in Open Dental is demonstrably slow due to a lack of said index. A 5+ second query time to poll a table for changes shouldn't be too terrible for most us...

It is very rare for Open Dental to change an existing feature in such a way that the API would not continue to function. This instance is a rare exception and has not occurred for the last three years of development for Open Dental and the Open Dental API. But why release something as "stable" versi...

In general, deleted procedures will actually be saved with a provider. It is possible that deleted procedures will be saved to the database with a ProvNum of 0 though. When that happens you can just assume that the procedure was canceled/deleted before it was fully added and the procedure itself can...

I am unsure of what this process has to do with the deprecation of Patient Payment Plans. I am not following how the process of making a payment plan has anything to do with taking payment for a statement. Developers using the XML file from a statement to attempt to discern which procedures a patien...

Saskia, It is not clear to me what exactly you are trying to do in your program in regards to payment plans, but I will attempt to address some concerns that I believe you might have. As for the other scenario - I don't understand. How will PayPlanCharges GET help us (no plan has been created yet) S...

There appears to be bug when I edit a procedure note in the chart. When I double-click to edit the note, the default note is appended to the end of my edited note when I click 'OK' Thanks. Version 23.1.33 has a fix for this and will be released today. FYI, there also appears to be a bug when printi...

I am assuming that you are wanting to use this data to create claims or perform actions through the API. If your users are doing non-account related actions in Open Dental (Adding procedures, completing procedures, updating procedures, etc...) and then performing financial actions in your software, ...

How did you perform step #2 and step #4?

Aging has the possibility of being inaccurate in some rarer circumstances, but the overwhelming majority of the time it will be correct.
Relying on that data is probably safe for the most part, but there are always going to be exceptions to the rule.

Open Dental does not plan on giving the ability for API developers to directly utilize Open Dental features in their programs. The purpose of the Open Dental API (and most APIs for that matter) is to provide access to data so it can be read or manipulated. It is not intended to allow open access to ...

You are correct. Open Dental does not support replacing our Microsoft token with a 3rd party Microsoft token.

This occurs if you have your text cursor has not been set in the textbox (You have not left-clicked into the textbox). The default behavior is that it will reload the text while maintaining visibility on your selected location, but since you do not have a selected location yet, it will be moved the ...

I believe this is what your are looking for.
https://www.opendental.com/manual/inshistory.html

It is not possible to call some of our dlls using another application.
We use a proprietary method of connecting to Microsoft, as required by Microsoft.
You would need to go through the same process, and build that into your application, in order to email through your app.

It would be difficult to troubleshoot this issue in this medium.
Our support staff would be able to help investigate this issue to find the underlying cause. I recommend give us a support call.

Open Dental currently has no plan to create a feature to allow 3rd party services to send texts using our eServices texting service. If we opened up our texting infrastructure to 3rd party use, it is highly unlikely that we would allow them to text using the numbers that we have registered with cam...

Your query is pretty close to selecting all the information you need. I have edited the query to add in a select for the fee.Amount as well as a couple of Where-clause additions to narrow down your fee to the clinic and provider default (0 clinic/prov).

After discussing this feature further, we are going to be to add the code back to the program.
Since the feature is still marked as deprecated, it is not guaranteed to remain in the program forever.
I recommend attempting to move your reports to a different reporting method over time.

Custom Reports have been deprecated for many years. https://www.opendental.com/manual174/reports.html https://www.opendental.com/manual214/reports.html Due to their deprecated status and the issues we have had with upkeeping the system, it was decided that the system should be removed from the code....

As of January 14th, 2020, Microsoft dropped support for Windows 7.
Any versions of OpenDental released after that date are not supported for, or intended to work on, Windows 7.

You should be able to update to the beta now.
Please try again and let me know if you are still experiencing the issue.

Where does Open Dental stand on 3rd parties adding tables and triggers in the Open Dental database? I have read in the documentation somewhere that it is no problem.

The maximum value for static image height and width was last changed on 12/9/2014. The maximum value was changed from 2000 to 4000 as part of a change to allow statements to use sheets.

You will want to look at paysplits instead of payments.
Total payment amounts should match total paysplit amounts, but there are times when that may not be the case (3rd parties, data corruption, old conversion data, etc.)

I recommend using the Claimproc table instead of the Claim table. SET @FromDate='2022-1-1' , @ToDate='2022-1-31'; SELECT SUM(InsPayAmt) FROM claimproc WHERE ClinicNum =1 AND DateReceived BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate AND InsPayAmt != 0; That should get you the same insurance info used in the Product...

I recommend calling Open Dental for help then. They will be able to walk through the query with you for the context of your database. You could also try this query (If it is still empty, you may want to adjust your min date): SELECT patient.LName,patient.FName,MIN(procedurelog.ProcDate) DateFirstVis...

https://www.opendental.com/manual/treat ... ounts.html

I believe this is the feature you are looking for. Discounts will create adjustments when the procedure is completed and will allow you to show the correct value on the treatment plan.

Then you would most likely want feature request #153. Feel free to add votes to this request if it would meet your needs.

Yes, the definition category is an enumeration that we will not repurpose or reorder so it can be considered reliable.

It isn't as automated as the referrals system, but in the meantime you could create a patient field to store the referral info for a patient.
The patient field could be added to the appointments via the Appointment Views.

Which version are you on?

I recommend joining this Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/opendentalusersgroup

There are a lot of active users there that will be able to give you feedback on Open Dental.

These unearned income reports would be a good starting point to help find the information you need.
https://www.opendental.com/manual/repor ... ncome.html

You should be able to access the forum now.

Another option that you could try is to use an operatory for that procedure code.
Schedule the appointment in the operatory for the procedure code (indicating the tools are in use) and then add a blockout to the corresponding operatory the patient will be seated in.

Are you attempting to enter into the total votes section?
There should be a section above that labeled "My Votes". That section should allow you enter points as well as show you the number of points remaining your office has available.

What is initiating this code that you want ran?
I may be misunderstanding, but you should be able to place your question into the hook in the payment click.
Then you could open your custom form if they chose, or just let the normal payment window open.

The easiest method is going to be to add a hook to this method "toolBarButPay_Click" in ControlAccount.
That way you can pose a question to perform your logic when the customer clicks the Payment button.

Due to the most recent changes, we would be able to add the ability to change the Title Bar font size as a feature request.
There is currently no way to go back to using default windows behavior for drawing the title bar as of 20.3.X

That sounds like a great feature request. It is uncommon for us to share future plans for features in OpenDental because we do not want to create unreasonable expectations or timelines. I do agree that the feature would benefit the overall usage of the mass email system though and I will look into t...

I mean is it every single window that opens the table of contents when pressing the '?' button?
The reason I ask is because that should only occur if the window you have open has not been correctly hooked up on our end, so knowing the specific windows will allow us to check.

So I assume you copied the code from ContrApptSheet2_MouseDown into the plugin and are just adding in a small bit of code to add a menu item correct?
I don't see how that would fail if you made you code similarly to the way the existing code looks.

If I was going to go about this I would just give them a setup window from somewhere in the program that they could set their own custom preferences.
I would store those in either my own MySQL table or an XML file depending on if they were workstation or database specific.

No. Currently 16.3.X is our stable version. That changes with each major release cycle (Major releases being 16.4.1 or 17.1.1).
16.4.X will be moved to be our stable version when we release 17.1.1 as our beta version.

Our beta is moved to stable when the next beta is released. We generally strive to have a fairly rapid release schedule, but no time has yet been set for our next release date.
That said we try to not go longer than three months between versions.

We have released a new version of payment plans that actually includes the balances on the account.

A fix has been committed for this and will be released in 15.4.8

Does this SQL Query start at this /*Modified 1071 List of outstanding PPO claims excluding specific carriers*/ /*Query code written/modified: 12/04/2015*/ SET @CarriersToExclude="Alliance Medical|Moda Insurance";/*Enter carriers separated by a pipe ('|' without the quotes).

That is an SQL query. It runs in the User Query section of OpenDental and outputs information from the database. If you go to Reports>User Query, you will see a box at the top you can paste this in. After that, hit the "Submit Query" button and you will see you information displayed in the bottom ha...

I see how that could be confusing. Adding the "showing 40 out 52 results" comment would be a feature request. If it garners some attention it will get done.

This is an intentional feature. If you had 50000 patients in your database and the grid didn't limit itself, the grid would initially load with 50000 rows. From there, every letter you typed would go and get a subset of that 50000 from the database and display them on the screen. This would be unbea...

Tthe ability to edit Procedure Buttons was added in 14.3.1. If you update to the latest stable version, the instructions on the website should be correct.

Yes, the commit shows on our bug tracker as:

Plugin Hooks, added hooks to a couple patient windows.

A preference for turning this feature off will be available in 15.4.
It will be located in EHR settings and will default to on if you have EHR turned on at the time of updating.

My apologies, I must have missed this when you responded. I can get all of these into the next version of 15.3, but I have made a few changes shown in bold. OpenDental.FormPatientAddAll: if(Plugins.HookMethod(this, "FormPatientAddAll.butOK_Click_ start ")) { return; } OpenDental.FormPatientEdit: Add...

These have been added to the program and will be available with version 15.3.22. I have changed the second hook slightly to better match our patterns: bool isValid=true; object[] parameters=new object[] { isValid,PatCur }; Plugins.HookAddCode(this,"FormPatientEdit.butOK_Click_beginning",parameters);...

These have been added to the program and will be available with the release of 15.3.22.

It is simply a tool to show you how close your patients are to your practice, based on their address given.

Go to Setup>Sheets and click the Import button.
Then import the XML file.

THE PROGRAM HAS A BUG AS IT SHOULD ENSURE WHEN THE EMPLOYEE IS DELETED THE TIME-CARD RULE FOR THE EMPLOYEE SHOULD BE DELETED AS WELL. This has been fixed as of version 14.3.30. If you are wondering why TimeCardRule rows with an employeenum of 0 were not deleted, then it is because those rows are no...

This has been added to 15.3.12 and will be available with the next release.

Since it is against our policy to backport plug-in hooks past the beta I cannot.
Thankfully, our release cycle is only around 6-8 weeks, so our current beta will be stable soon enough.

This has been added to 15.3.10 and will be released with the next beta update.

First, it is typical to include a snippet of code where you want the hook. That way I know exactly where you want it. Without that it could get placed in an incorrect location and that could interfere with your plug-in. Second, based on your naming convention of these hooks you want them either at t...

In version 15.3 we have released a texting feature that is integrated into OpenDental itself.
It might be something you are interested in if you don't want to go looking for a third-party solution.

I have added your plug-in hook to 15.3.6, but I have changed it slightly so all of our customers are not running extra queries. object[] parameters={ dataRoww["PatNum"].ToString(),apptRows[elementI].PatFieldDefNum,text }; Plugins.HookAddCode(null,"ApptSingleDrawing.DrawElement_afterFillText",paramet...

Since it is against our policy to backport plug-in hooks past the beta I cannot.
Thankfully, our release cycle is only around 6-8 weeks, so our current beta will be stable soon enough.

With the new release of 15.3 as the beta this new hook will be going back to 15.3 and not 15.2. I should be able to add them to the next release of 15.3.

http://opendental.com/manual/patternplugins.html Parameters ... For parameters that are value types and for strings, if a user wishes the changed value to persist after the hook is run, then we will need to follow this pattern: object[] parameters={myInt,myStr}; Plugins.HookAddCode(this,"FormClaim....

http://opendental.com/manual/plugins.html Hooks In addition to the obvious buttons from Program Links, any number of hooks are allowed.

What version are you on?
If you are past version 15.1.21 then I can't think of any bugs that have been reported.
Which report are you using (Annual, Monthly, or Daily)?

Hook added and will be available with the release of 15.2.9

I believe we have a fix for this Dr. Hersh.
In 15.2.7 and 15.1.29 we have deployed a fix that should make your old notes, that were incorrectly displaying as invalid, and display them as valid again.

When you update please update this thread and let me know if this is still occurring.
Thanks,

Does that mean we WON'T be able to show Broken Appts as Adjustments in the Account Module? Correct, OpenDental won't give you the option to automatically create broken appointment adjustments as long as you have the D9986 code. First of all it is important that patients can see on their statements ...

When you update to 15.2 you should be able to get the latest version of the D-Codes. As for the adjustments, broken appointments will be using procedures from now on, with a commlog option as there has always been.

What will happen to all those entries? Will they now show up in reports as "Broken Appt"? Nothing will change about those entries. The new 2015 ADA code will never be imported if it already exists in the DB. Broken Appts will now create "Bleaching Syringe" procs whenever they are broken though. In ...

The code will make D9986 procedures from all adjustments that match the current default broken appointment adjustment type. All future broken appointments will create one of the procedures. The new broken appointment report will use all D9986 procedures to determine metrics for broken appointments. ...

We have not added a "Canceled" option to appointments as of yet and because of that we did not implement the usage of D9987. It would be a feature request to allow appointments to be "Canceled" in addition to "Broken". If we implemented that request then we would most likely implement the usage of D...

Code: Select all

if(Plugins.HookMethod(this,"FormApptEdit.butText_Click_start",pat,AptCur,this)) {
	return;
}

Code: Select all

Plugins.HookAddCode(this,"FormApptEdit.Load_end2",AptCur);

These two hooks were committed to 15.2.4. Note that I did lower case the end of the method to fall in line with our newer hook patterns.

Also you pass the form (this) into the method, but you should already have access to it.

Code: Select all

private void FillMain(){
if (Plugins.HookMethod(this, "FormConfirmList.FillMain_Start", this))
return;

Is there a specific reason you need it passed in?

We cannot modify existing hooks because other plugins may rely on them. I can add another hook at the end that does what you want.

Code: Select all

Plugins.HookAddCode(this,"FormApptEdit.Load_end2",AptCur);

It would look like this.

I am confused. Where do you want this hook? private void FillMain(){ if (Plugins.HookMethod(this, "FormConfirmList.FillMain_End", this)) return; Do you want it in butText or FillMain? Also if wherever you want it, do you want it at the beginning or end of the method? I would assume at the beginning,...

Since the ODGrid is a custom control that overrides/doesnt use the default settings for a control, you will need to go and manually edit the ODGrid source code to change the colors. That will change the grid colors for every single window though. If you are looking for a solution where each grid you...

I have added this hook to the next beta update v15.1.22. Sadly, I can't backport the hook to a non-beta version. Hooks would require another release of a stable version and that is against our current policy. From http://opendental.com/manual/plugins.html In addition to the obvious buttons from Prog...

Re: Hook Requests - Commlogs / Tasks Plugin Hooks added to 15.1.22.

Plugin Hooks added to 15.1.22.

The software currently uses the claim's date received to create an inurance payment. If you have access to our source code, you can see the behavior in FormInsPayFix at line 32 and 43.

If you tested that hook and it works then all you need to do is make a hook request in this forum asking for "true" code I wrote. I will add it to our latest beta version so you can use it with the next beta release.

The way I understand this issue is that you want this if(Plugins.HookMethod(this,"FormTxtMsgEdit.SendText_Start",patNum,wirelessPhone,message,txtMsgOk)) { return false; } to return true. The best way I can think of to accomplish this for your plug-in would simply be to write a new hook directly belo...

For any customers on 15.1, the Payments report will now give you the payments grouped by payment type and ordered by date.

First, if you want to overwrite the method OK click, this: public override bool HookAddCode(object sender, string hookName, params object[] parameters) needs to be this: public override bool HookMethod(object sender, string hookName, params object[] parameters) Next, your hook doesn't exist in the p...

There are checks to prevent the database from having no security admins. Most likely there is another user in your database that has security admin permissions. If you know who that would be then they could simply give you your security admin permissions back as well.

Hello, I am the engineer that recently improved the perio chart to be more accessible with Dragon Naturally Speaking (as of Version 14.3) I didn't mark FR#83 as done because I believe the spirit behind that request is for us to implement our own voice recognition system for use in perio charting.

If you are willing to update to our beta version of 15.1 when it is released then this will be much easier to implement.

Sorry, I meant to comment on this before.

I have added this to version 14.3.24 (sans comment code) and it will be available when it is released.
