How to transfer extra patients from tablet when away from the office eg. When a venue gets substituted during the day
Dropbox or another cloud storage is required on at least one office computer and all the tablets/laptops that get taken out on visits.
This MUST be done first in the OFFICE:
- Go into “Opticabase Home”
- Go into “Transfer for Optoms”
- Click on “Import Pxs from Opticabase”
- Import them as usual for that day which should include the new patients for the day
- Close that screen so you are on the cloud save screen
- Choose the Optometrist Name from the dropdown list in the middle.
- Click on “Pre visit save to cloud”

At least 2 minutes later, on the TABLET:
- Connect the tablet to the internet and wait for a minute for the data to download from the cloud
- Go into Opticabase Home
- Go into Transfer for Optoms
- Choose the Optometrist Name from the dropdown list in the middle.
- Click on “Optom Export Patients” (bottom right of screen)
(that sends the Pxs already seen into the cloud for the ofiice to import)

Then on the tablet:
- Click on “Optom Import Patients” (bottom left of screen)
(that imports all the pxs for the day including the ones already seen which should be ignored)

2 minutes later in the Office:
- Go into Opticabase Home
- Go into Transfer for Optoms
- Choose the Optometrist Name from the dropdown list in the middle.
- Click on “Post visit use cloud”

Now you need to check that the patients that have been seen have transferred to the computer, then you export them to Opticabase.
- Close that screen and go into Pxs for exams to check they look like the Pxs that were seen
- Go into “Transfer for Optoms” again
- Click on “Export Pxs back to Opticabase”
- Transfer all back to Opticabase as usual
Transfer from the tablet at the end of the day as usual
