01

Find and view documents

Documents and My Records use the same familiar list and preview experience.

1

Open the right record area

Clinic team members use Documents. Patients use My Records for records they own across clinics.

Open Documents
2

Search and filter

Search by name or available document text, then narrow by category, status, date, or folder.

3

Preview safely

Open the preview to move between pages or DICOM frames, zoom, and review available details. Download and print are unavailable.

02

Preview medical imaging

Supported DICOM images open directly from Documents and My Records.

1

Upload the original image

Choose the DICOM file exactly as supplied, including .dcm files and files without an extension. The file is recognized automatically; no renaming or file-type selection is needed.

2

Allow the preview to prepare

Safety checks run before the image becomes available. Open the record to see its progress; the preview appears once preparation finishes.

3

Move between frames

Use the frame thumbnails and zoom, rotate, brightness and contrast controls. Use Go to frame to reach any supported frame. New frame previews prepare automatically as needed.

4

Browse studies and play cine

Choose DICOM studies in Documents or My Records, then open a study, series and image. Play cine cycles through frames. Open Image tools for zoom, rotation, brightness and contrast.

5

Connect a clinic imaging server

Clinic administrators can open Connection settings in DICOM studies, enter the approved DICOMweb server address and credentials, choose staff access and save. Choose Connected imaging server to browse that source. Patient-owned studies remain separate.

6

Follow a preview message

If a frame could not load, use its retry control. If the file is damaged or its imaging format is unsupported, request a fresh supported export from the source.

03

Read documents, exports and media

The viewer selects the supported preview automatically.

1

Read every page

PDF, multipage TIFF, office and RTF documents support page navigation. Use Go to page for large files; a page prepares automatically when requested.

2

Read clinical exports

TXT, CSV, TSV, JSON, XML, FHIR, CDA, CCDA and HL7 files open as readable text or tables. Use page and column navigation, line wrapping, and current-page search. Opening an export does not import it into a clinical record.

3

Play recordings and animations

Supported audio, video, GIF and animated WebP previews include playback, seeking, speed and loop controls. Press Play to begin; playback never starts automatically.

4

Handle a preview error

Retry a loading error. For a malformed, unsafe, oversized or unsupported export, follow the message and obtain a corrected file from its source.

04

Keep records organized

A small amount of organization makes later care easier.

1

Use clear names

Choose a name that helps people recognize the record without opening it.

2

Choose a category

Confirm or correct the suggested category so filters remain useful.

3

Use folders

Move related records into folders without changing their clinical category.

05

Share with control

Sharing gives access without changing ownership.

1

Choose the recipient

Share with the intended clinic, patient, or approved external recipient only.

2

Review the access period

External links expire and can be revoked. Confirm the expiry before sending the link.

3

Review access history

Use the share and access history to understand who currently has access and revoke it when no longer needed.

Self-help

Common questions

Why is my document still processing?

New uploads are checked and prepared for safe preview. An open preview updates when preparation finishes. If processing fails, follow the message shown or contact your administrator.

Do I need to rename an imaging file before uploading?

No. Supported DICOM images are recognized from the file itself, including .dcm files and files with no extension. Open the record after preparation to see the frame preview.

How do I open more imaging frames?

Larger files prepare frames as you request them. Use Go to frame for any supported frame, or open DICOM studies to browse the studies, series and images you can access. A preparing message updates when the frame is ready.

Why can’t I download or print?

The current records experience is preview-first. Some original-file and print actions are intentionally unavailable.

Does deleting a document remove it immediately?

A deleted document may first move to the recycle bin and may remain protected by retention or legal-hold rules.
