Toggle Training / Real Database

Whenever you wish to experiment with ViewPoint features or train new staff members without jeopardizing your practice data, you may use the Training Database provided by Ortho2. Then, you can toggle back to your real data to enter actual information for your practice.

1. Start OrthoNet Application - Search your system program applications for the OrthoNet application

2. Choose Your Settings - Change the OrthoNet options carefully to preserve the integrity of your practice data.

   

   Network Type - Select TCP/IP unless otherwise directed by an Ortho2 representative. You generally do not need to change this field.

   Server Name - Select the name of your ViewPoint server, often O2. You generally do not need to change this field.

   Database Name - Select the database to use. Generally Ortho2 contains your real practice data and Otrain contains training data. If you have multiple databases for your real data, be sure you select the correct one when switching out of training mode.

3. Save Your Changes - Click Ok to save the changes you have made and close the editing window.
